Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day you left me, an angel cried
Oh, she cried, an angel cried
She cried
These lyrics from Ariana Grande's song "raindrops" are expressive of a deep pain and sense of loss that the singer is experiencing after a breakup. The metaphorical image of raindrops falling from the sky on the day that her love left her, is representative of the overwhelming sadness that has engulfed her heart. This is further reinforced by the line "an angel cried" which suggests that the singer's pain is so deep that even the heavens themselves mourn the loss of her love.
The repetition of the line "she cried" is both powerful and poignant, as it highlights the intensity of the singer's emotions. The use of the pronoun "she" further emphasizes that this is no ordinary pain but is instead something that is felt universally. The idea of an angel crying provides a sense of spiritual and emotional healing, giving the singer hope that someday she will be able to move on from the heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
When raindrops fell down from the sky
The day you left me was so devastating that even the weather reflected my sadness.
The day you left me, an angel cried
Our love was so pure that even the angels in heaven mourned our separation.
Oh, she cried, an angel cried
The pain of losing you was felt throughout the universe, and even celestial beings shed tears.
She cried
The grief I felt was so strong that I could feel the tears of an angel falling alongside my own.

on Love Me Harder
Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
And if in the moment, I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain
And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me, baby, love me)
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (whoa)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Got to love me, baby)
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
Got to love me harder
(I'ma love you harder, hey)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
(Boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
Love me, love me, love me
(Just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Harder, harder, harder
