Good Love
Beres Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you erase them from your mind
How could I, how could I
(Chorus)
Oh no when I know
Good love is hard to find
If you dis you'll find
Good love is hard to find, yes
If you dis you'll find (now you gonna find)
You shall do the time
It's early in the morning
Stretched across the bed to touch you
And you're not there
I picked up the phone and called your best friend
I guess it's just not my day
'Cause you can't be found anywhere
The more I keep missing you I keep forgetting
You said you'd scratch me out of the page
It's funny how something simple
Can make you change
(Chorus (repeat))
When you're in love
It's such a wonderful thing
Makes you smile and sing
The joy you share no kid in candy land
Or fun world can compare
Don't tell me it's not meant to be
Just you and me for eternity
And maybe you have a different view
But I don't want you to go
'Cause you are all that I know
And I know
(Chorus...)
The opening lines of Beres Hammond's song "Good Love" express the singer's regret and desperation as he pleads with his partner to forgive him for something he said or did. He asks them to forget the hurtful words he spoke or actions he took, and laments the potential loss of their relationship. The repetition of "how could I" emphasizes his self-blame and guilt. However, the chorus provides a warning that good love is hard to come by and that disrespecting or mistreating it has consequences. The singer suggests that if his partner rejects his attempts to reconcile, they will regret it ("do the time").
Later in the song, the singer describes the loneliness he feels upon waking up and realizing their partner is not beside them. He calls their best friend but cannot find them, adding to his sense of confusion and desperation. The line "You said you'd scratch me out of the page" suggests that the partner may have threatened to "erase" the singer from their life if they did not change their ways. The final verses express the singer's love and appreciation for their partner, but also a fear of losing them. The lines "Don't tell me it's not meant to be / Just you and me for eternity" indicate a desire for a future together.
Overall, the song "Good Love" speaks to the fragility of relationships and the importance of valuing and respecting those we love.

Can't believe I say these words to you
I can't believe I'm speaking these words to you
Could you erase them from your mind
Is it possible for you to forget what I said?
How could I, how could I
I don't know how I could have said what I said
Oh no when I know
I'm aware that
Good love is hard to find
It's difficult to find true love
If you dis you'll find
If you disrespect love, then
You shall do the time
there will be consequences
It's early in the morning
It's still very early in the day
Stretched across the bed to touch you
Trying to reach out to touch you
And you're not there
But you're not present
I picked up the phone and called your best friend
I resorted to calling your close friend
I guess it's just not my day
Things are not working out well for me today
'Cause you can't be found anywhere
Because you are not anywhere to be found
The more I keep missing you I keep forgetting
The longer I'm away from you, the more I forget things
You said you'd scratch me out of the page
You promised to erase me from your life
It's funny how something simple
It's ironic to see how simple things
Can make you change
Can bring about a change
When you're in love
During the times you're in love
It's such a wonderful thing
It's a beautiful experience
Makes you smile and sing
It brings immense joy that makes you smile and sing
The joy you share no kid in candy land
The pleasure you share is unparalleled, better than any other worldly pleasures
Or fun world can compare
Or even the happiest moments can't come close
Don't tell me it's not meant to be
Please don't tell me that we are not destined to be together
Just you and me for eternity
Forever, it's just going to be us
And maybe you have a different view
However, maybe you have a different opinion
But I don't want you to go
I don't want you to leave
'Cause you are all that I know
You are everything I know and love
And I know
I'm sure of it
Good love is hard to find, yes
It's true that true love is hard to find
If you dis you'll find (now you gonna find)
If you disrespect love, you'll soon discover its worth
You shall do the time
There will be consequences for your actions
