"If You Don't Want to Fall" is a song by Jed Madela that explores a one-sided love and the struggle of trying to win someone's affection. The lyrics convey the narrator's deep affection for someone and their willingness to go to great lengths to prove their love and devotion. The song highlights the efforts the narrator is willing to make, such as writing countless songs, saying prayers, and even sacrificing their own life, all in an attempt to win over the person they love. However, despite their best efforts, the narrator realizes that their love interest may never reciprocate their feelings. The lyrics express the desperation the narrator feels, pleading with the person to be honest and upfront about their lack of feelings so they can change and mend their ways. The narrator acknowledges that their life feels empty without this person, and they are willing to do anything to make the person fall for them. However, the narrator comes to a realization that if the person doesn't want to fall in love or feel the need to be with them, nothing they say or do will make a difference. They understand that if the person doesn't have any romantic feelings, they cannot break down the emotional wall that separates them. The latter part of the song reflects the narrator's frustration and heartbreak. They feel that nothing else in their life holds value anymore, and nobody else can make them feel the way this person did. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness, as the narrator realizes that without the mutual feelings of love, their efforts are in vain. Overall, "If You Don't Want to Fall" portrays the emotional struggles of unrequited love and the realization that love cannot be forced. The song reflects the pain, longing, and the ultimate acceptance that sometimes love is not meant to be.
