My Love to You
A-Live Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some things are just better with some time
Some times we're just meant to die
And some times when it's so dark inside
We light ourselves up with a lie
We left the pier in a state of fear
Uncertain of the days to come
"Just give it all, holding back's no use at all"
Said all the voices in my head
When will I realise
That love won't break my fall
When will I decide
To chase the dreams I have
With you I got hooked onto this silly lie
Dangled on with both hands tied
I quickly dove headfirst right in it all
Expecting love to catch my fall
When will I realise
That love won't break my fall
When will I decide
To chase the dreams I have
Woah, cause love won't break my fall
Woah, cause love won't break my fall
When will I realise
That love won't break my fall




When will I decide
To chase the dreams I have

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A-Live's song "My Love to You" express the struggles of navigating a relationship and the vulnerability that comes with it. The first line, "Some things are just better with some time," suggests that some things, including relationships, need time to grow and develop. The next line, "Some times we're just meant to die," acknowledges that sometimes relationships simply don't work out, regardless of effort. The following line, "And some times when it's so dark inside, we light ourselves up with a lie," alludes to the sometimes desperate need to cling onto falsehoods in relationships.


The pre-chorus describes the uncertainty and doubt that can arise in relationships. The voices in the singer's head tell them to give their all and not hold back, but they wonder if love will truly catch them if they fall. With the line, "With you I got hooked onto this silly lie," the singer acknowledges their own role in perpetuating the falsehoods of the relationship. They dove headfirst into it, expecting love to sustain them.


The chorus repeats the question of when the realization will come that love won't necessarily break one's fall. The emphasis seems to be on personal agency and choice, with the question of when the singer will decide to chase their own dreams. This suggests a reflection on the balance between love and individual growth.

Westlife! I don't even know where to begin.

At the age of 8, this is my first ever song of them that I listened to, and within 2 mins, I made a promise to myself: "I am going to marry an Irish man one day when I grow up" and told my mom about it LOL. All she did was laughing at me. I don't blame her 😂. She keeps talking about it until now

Being born and raised in Vietnam where English isn't my first language, after this song, and many of their good songs, I promised myself: "I am going to learn English. I am going to be fluent in English to be able to undersrand what theyre singing".

And here I am. 20 years after my first time listening to this song. Happily married to a handsome Canadian Irish man for almost 8 years now. 2 beautiful mixed Vietnamese and Irish babies.

I got tears in my eyes when I was listening to this song again today. All the memories that I'll hold on forever.

Thanks Westlife for being a part of my childhood and my motivation!

Hoping to see you in Vancouver one day 😊
