Lewat lagu ini, Olivia ingin menyampaikan betapa sakitnya saat pacar yang harusnya jadi tempat berlindung, justru menjadi orang yang paling sering mengecilkan dan menahan kita untuk berkembang. Padahal, teman biasa saja belum tentu setega itu, apalagi seseorang yang mengaku mencintai kita.

Sebab, menghargai diri sendiri dan memberi ruang untuk terus tumbuh jauh lebih penting daripada bertahan demi cinta yang merusak.
Lirik Lagu "Let Alone The One You Love" Olivia Dean
Thought I was done with this feelingI really thought you could be him
Thought I was safe, hmm
You were the warmth that I needed
Like a breeze in the evening
And then you changed
You're all the same, yeah
It's too much to mend
You're the hug that had to end
Though I've tried to hold on
And, if you knew me at all
You wouldn't try to keep me small
Who would do that to a friend, let alone the one you love?
And any choice you had worth making
I'd push you to take it
No questions asked, no doubt in mind
But, when they're mine, yeah
You react like I'm crossing a line
I'm too much to handle, and, "Just dial it back a bit"
Well, well, I'm not having it, babe
It's too much to mend
You're the hug that had to end
Though I've tried to hold on
And, if you knew me at all
You wouldn't try to keep me small
Mm, who would do that to a friend, let alone the one you love?
Mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm
Mm-mm
Mm
