Haven’t You Ever Been In Love Before? Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't put your cover up, you know it's bad for your health
And when the going's tough, you're way too hard on yourself
I wish you'd open up, and I'd lend a little to help
Before you dive off the deep end
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you hold me? like you want me?
But you don't give me nothin' else
Feel this happening, but you feel absent
Can you tell me what it is?
[Chorus]
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore"
"But it's more like a knife to me than a high to mе
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I, knеw you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
[Verse 2]
If we don't work it out, that's something I could accept
But I feel you're ruling out, a love that ain't happened yet
And maybe I'm a fool, but I just can't live with regret
I'd rather dive off the deep end
Don't put your cover up, you know it's bad for your health
And when the going's tough, you're way too hard on yourself
I wish you'd open up, and I'd lend a little to help
Before you dive off the deep end
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you hold me? like you want me?
But you don't give me nothin' else
Feel this happening, but you feel absent
Can you tell me what it is?
[Chorus]
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore"
"But it's more like a knife to me than a high to mе
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I, knеw you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
[Verse 2]
If we don't work it out, that's something I could accept
But I feel you're ruling out, a love that ain't happened yet
And maybe I'm a fool, but I just can't live with regret
I'd rather dive off the deep end
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you hold me? like you want me?
But you don't give me nothin' else
Feel this happening, but you feel absence
Can you tell me what it is?
[Chorus]
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore"
"But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I, knew you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
[Bridge]
Well, we could be falling
Falling
There's nothing I want more than all that you got
'Cause I'm falling
[Chorus]
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore"
"But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I, knew you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
Will you hold me? like you want me?
But you don't give me nothin' else
Feel this happening, but you feel absence
Can you tell me what it is?
[Chorus]
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore"
"But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I, knew you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
[Bridge]
Well, we could be falling
Falling
There's nothing I want more than all that you got
'Cause I'm falling
[Chorus]
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore"
"But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I, knew you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"

In this song, Lewis Capaldi addresses unrequited love with a girl whose defence is that love hurts. As such, she does not want to be hurt regardless of how the idea of falling in love sounds like “it takes the pain away.”
