Agape
Bear's Den Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Agape
Please don't dissipate
I know that I have got it all wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But baby, I'm clutching at straws
Even though
Your words hurt the most

I still wanna hear them, every day
You say let it go
But I can't let it go
I won't leave, every word that you say

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that I don't wanna know
Who I am without you

Oh agape
Please don't dissipate
Yeah I know I've got it all wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But baby I'm clutching at straws

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that, I don't wanna know
Who I am without you

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that
I know that
Tell me how long, love, before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know that
I don't wanna know who I am without you
I don't wanna know who I am without you

AGAPE

Agape
Please, don't dissipate
I know that I've got it all wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But, baby, I'm clutching at straws
Eventhough your words hurt the most
I still want to hear them
Every day
You say let it go
But I can't let it go
I wanna believe every word that you say

For I'm so scared of losing you
And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know it
I don't want to know who I am without you

Oh, Agape
Please, don't dissipate
Yeah, I know that I've got it all wrong

And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own

And I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know it
I know it
Tell me how long love before you go
And leave me here on my own
I know it
I don't want to know who I am without you
I don't want to know who I am without you

@bhardwajanurag07

It happens very rarely that the performance in live concert is equally good as original. Hats off. One of my favourite song ever. Thanks for making such great music in this era.

@JayKelley-xw7ec

Thanks to the new show (Tracker) on CBS ... heard "Lonesome" at the end of premier episode and now HOOKED on Bear's Den... already purchased a dozen songs, wish iTunes had more of the live versions, those are the best!!!! Heading to Ireland end of March, just wish they were playing somewhere in the last week of March, would LOVE to see them live.

@laura204h

So rare these days to find bands that sound better live than recorded ❤

@Apple-sx6jk

Listen to u2

@caleron0

there are plenty of them..

@jemmagoodwin9468

Thanks for being that band that just plays GOOD music! x

@emcllns

Looks like best friends living in the moment realizing people legitimately want to gather to listen to their art. What a feeling I hope to experience one day. And when you sound just as good live as you do in studio...that's just a magical combination.

@lammertklaas

One of the happy few to be at this amazing concert.

@gabriellaequi1

Saw you live in 2013, and i dont think i'll ever get sick of this song. Can't wait to keep hearing more stuff you create
