Song Lyrics
I Love You Song Lyrics
[Verse]
It's not true, tell me I've been lied to
Cryin' isn't like you
What the hell did I do?
Never been the type to
Let someone see right through
Maybe won't you take it back
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn't mean to say I love you
I love you
And I don't want to
Up all night on another red-eye
I wish we never learned to fly
Maybe we should just try
To tell ourselves a good lie
Didn't mean to make you cry
Maybe won't you take it back
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn't mean to say I love you
I love you
And I don't want to
The smile that you gave me
Even when you felt like dyin'
We fall apart as it gets dark
I'm in your arms in Central Park
There's nothing you could do or say
I can't escape the way I love you
I don't want to
But I love you

Artist Info:
Billie Eilish: Anointed as one of the most inventive and influential artists of today, Billie Eilish is the 18-year-old phenomenon with an otherworldly voice whose music bends and breaks between genres. Her songs often highlight themes of love, mental health, and the pressures of fame over moody, atmospheric production by her brother and collaborator, Finneas. With an ability to beautifully express deep feelings and develop complex but subtle stories, Billie has managed to amass a big following with multiple prestigious awards.
Annotations and Meaning:
Billie Eilish's "I Love You" is an achingly beautiful love ballad dealing with the haunting layers of love and its vulnerability. The song encapsulates one of these moments of the reluctant confession and the pained realization that love can be as unwanted as it is a force of nature. The contradiction of loving someone while not wanting to is expressed in Billie's lyrics.
The lines "It's not true, tell me I've been lied to / Cryin' isn't like you" would seem to reflect that initial sense of shock and denial which so often accompanies an unexpected declaration of love, suggesting a vulnerability that might have made either party uncomfortable. The repeated plea, "Maybe won't you take it back / Say you were tryna make me laugh," highlights the immense willingness to return to a more cordial, less intricate relationship where such raw emotions don't have to be dealt with.
The setting of the Central Park at night for the song is very cinematic, isolated, and intimate for the time it is occupied. This serves only to heighten the emotional gravity of the confession, perhaps making the setting a witness to the struggle of love versus the resistance of love.
