Love Songs
Daryl Braithwaite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought it was the end
My friends said that it's not the end of the world
Been waiting for that feeling
But nothing ever felt quite like being yours

It's so good to see you here tonight
Better yet to see it in your eyes
You've been feeling something just like I did
Needed just a little space and time
To get rid of all these alibis
Suddenly I see it in my mind yeah
You know

I've been writing love songs since we broke up
Guess that it took losing you to make me sure enough
And I know it's too soon to try again
We'll mess it up again
But it's too soon to say goodbye

How's it's three AM
You been bringing out the best in me like you used to
Your hands are so familiar
But everything between us is feeling brand new

No I didn't wanna let it die
I was praying that you'd leave the light on
You've been feeling something just like I did
Needed just a little space and time
To get rid of all these alibis
Suddenly I see it in my mind yeah
You know

I've been writing love songs since we broke up
Guess that it took losing you to make me sure enough
And I know it's too soon to try again
We'll mess it up again
But it's too soon to say goodbye
I've been writing love songs since we broke up
Sometimes I think I won't last one more night without your touch
And I know it's too soon to try again
We'll mess it up again
But it's too soon to say goodbye
Oh, oh

I've been writing love songs since we broke up
Guess that it took losing you to make me sure enough
And I know it's too soon to try again
We'll mess it up again
It's too soon to say goodbye
I've been writing love songs since we broke up
Sometimes I think I won't last one more night without your touch
And I know it's too soon to try again
We'll mess it up again
But it's too soon to say goodbye

(Too soon to say it)
(Too soon to say)
(Too soon to say it)

(Too soon to say it)
(Too soon to say)




(Too soon to say it)
Too soon to say goodbye
