You up now, I see you, I get you, take care now
Slow down, be cool, I miss you, come here now
It's yours now, keep it, I'll hold out until now
I need you right now, once I leave you I'm strung out
If I get you, I'm slowly breaking down
[Chorus]
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinking we could never be a pair
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinking, I'm strong enough to sink it
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
[Post-Chorus]
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
[Verse 2]
Soon as you leave me, we always lose connection
It's gettin' messy, I fiend for your affection
Don't loosen your grip got a hold on me
Now, forever, let's get back together
[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, take it so far away
I pray that, God, we don't break
I want you to take me up and down
And round and round again
[Chorus]
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinking we could never be a pair
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinking, I'm strong enough to sink it
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
[Post-Chorus]
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
[Bridge]
You're gonna say that you're sorry at the end of the night
Wake up in the morning, everything's alright
At the end of the story, you're holdin' me tight
I don't need to worry, am I out of my mind?
[Chorus]
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here (I'm losing my mind)
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinking, I'm strong enough to sink it
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
Makna Lagu Love Me Not - Ravyn Lenae
Lirik lagu ini menggambarkan hubungan yang penuh tarik ulur dan emosi yang rumit. Tokohnya merasa sangat membutuhkan seseorang, tapi di saat yang sama juga sadar bahwa hubungan mereka tidak pernah benar-benar stabil. Kadang mereka terasa sangat dekat, saling merindukan, dan ingin bersama. Namun di lain waktu, hubungan itu justru terasa jauh dan membingungkan, seolah mereka terus datang dan pergi dari kehidupan satu sama lain.
Di bagian chorus, terlihat konflik batin yang cukup kuat. Ia mengatakan tidak membutuhkan orang tersebut, tetapi di sisi lain tetap merindukannya. Perasaan ini menunjukkan hubungan yang tidak sehat secara emosional, karena meskipun ia tahu mungkin mereka tidak cocok, ia tetap sulit untuk benar-benar melepaskan. Sosok itu selalu muncul di pikirannya, membuatnya sulit bergerak maju.
Secara keseluruhan, lagu ini menceritakan tentang cinta yang membuat seseorang terjebak dalam perasaan yang tidak pasti. Ada keinginan untuk bertahan, tapi juga ada kesadaran bahwa hubungan itu mungkin tidak akan berjalan baik. Lagu ini menggambarkan bagaimana cinta kadang bisa terasa indah sekaligus melelahkan, terutama ketika dua orang terus kembali satu sama lain meski tahu hubungan itu tidak benar-benar berhasil.
