Don't Believe In Love
Dido · Safe Trip Home [2008]
Pretend that I'm still sleeping 'til you go home
Oh
I can't look at you this morning
I should probably have a sign that says, "Leave right now or quicker"
You've overstayed your time
If I don't believe in love nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love you're too close to me
That's why you have to leave
Maybe I slept peaceful on your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now
It's morning and I can't face your smile
The second that I feel your safe hands reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You've ovestayed your time
If I don't believe in love nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love nothing is new for me
Nothing is warm for me
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love what do you get from me
When I don't believe in love nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love you're getting too close to me
It's why you have to leave
It's why you have to leave
If I don't believe in love
Ooh
If I don't believe in love
Ooh
If I don't believe in love nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love you're too good for me

Don't Believe In Love
Released on Dido's 2008 album Safe Trip Home, 'Don't Believe In Love' stands as a poignant exploration of disillusionment and emotional detachment. The track exemplifies the artist's signature blend of soulful vocals and atmospheric production, characteristic of her work during this period. While the song does not carry the same immediate commercial impact as her earlier hits, it remains a significant addition to her discography, reflecting a matured perspective on relationships and personal integrity. The recording captures the essence of late 2000s indie-pop, utilizing lush instrumentation to underscore themes of skepticism and quiet resignation. It serves as a testament to Dido's enduring ability to craft intimate, emotionally resonant music that resonates with listeners seeking authenticity in their own lives.
