CHO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We found love in a place
Where we never should of, never should of
I found home in your space
But we never stood a, never stood a chance

Cause I was too broken
And you were the same
Our love was hopeless
But love is so strange

We fall in love
Then we break it off
But we miss each other too much
So we try to fix it but its never meant for us, no

I don't wanna love just to never talk again
I don't wanna love if it means it has to end
Why can't we just do it right
I just wanna love you right
I don't wanna heal if it means you're gonna break me
I don't wanna stay if it means we'll never make it
Why can't we just do it right
Why can't I just love you right

Cause it's the right one
But the wrong time
And some things we just can't control
And when you realize
That we've capsized there ain't
Nothing for us to hold

Cause I was too broken
And you were the same
Our love was hopeless
But love is so strange

From lovers to strangers
I love you, I hate you
How did we end up like this
Our flaws overtake us
And trying is dangerous
We'll never know what we could've been

I don't wanna love just to never talk again
I don't wanna love if it means it has to end
Why can't we just do it right
I just wanna love you right
I don't wanna heal if it means you're gonna break me
I don't wanna stay if it means we'll never make it




Why can't we just do it right
We can't love each other right

The song portrays a sense of longing and frustration as the singer reflects on the deep connection they found with their partner in a place where it seemed unlikely.
