Alicia Keys - Fallin' Lyrics Meaning

This song is about an unsuccessful relationship where it is either a love from one side (her side) or she is the one who loves more. Her emotions toward the one she loves are unstable where sometimes he gives her joy when he is around “How do you give me so much pleasure”, yet his actions still hurts her “and cause me so much pain”. Therefore, she keeps fallin in and out when she receives joy and pain, respectively. However, the internal conflict that she lives “lovin you darlin makes me so confused” is a result of her love to him “I never loved someone the way that I love you”. Consequently, she cannot take any decisions except fallin in and out of love with him.
