Song Meaning of “You Weren’t In Love With Me” by Marina Prior
This song is about realizing that someone you once loved didn’t love you back. The singer is looking back at the relationship and seeing the flaws in it, and realizing that the other person in the relationship wasn’t really in love with them. The lyrics point to the fact that the singer was in love with them, while the other person only saw them as a passing interest.
The song speaks of the pain of realizing that the love wasn’t mutual, and how it took the singer awhile to fully accept it. The lyrics are powerful and emotive, with lines such as, “you never said a word/that could help heal what I was feeling/you were never sincere/unrequited love so revealing.” These lines imply that the other person did not say anything that was meaningful and that the love felt by the singer was not returned.
The song speaks to the pain of unrequited love and how it can take someone a long time to let go of a relationship that was never meant to be. The singer ultimately calls out the other person for choosing “love that was never true,” as a way to move on and rebuild their own sense of self worth.
