Love You Better
Echosmith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why?
Never wrote to tell me goodbye
I guess that I
Got too busy to notice the signs
I know, I know, I know, I know
That it's my fault, I'm responsible
I know, I know, I know, I know
That sometimes love is hard to hold
Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better
I'm trying to say that I could love you better
Love you better, love you better
Fire
Burnin' deep within me, desire
I'm on the wire
Stuck between the now and goodbye
I know, I know, I know, I know
It's been two weeks since I heard from you
I know, I know, I know, I know
That sometimes love's easy to lose
Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better
I'm trying to say that I could love you better
Love you better, love you better
Now you're gone
Is there a way to make you stay?
Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Is it too late for me to love you better?
Love you better, love you better
Oh, oh
Love you better
Oh (is it too late for me to love you better?)
Oh (love you better)
Love you better
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll try, I'll try to love you better
To love you better

He admits that he is responsible for the demise of the relationship and is aware that love is hard to hold on to. He expresses his desire to love his lover better and improve himself to be a better partner.
The second verse of the song describes how the singer is in distress and conflicted about the status of their relationship. He is confused about whether his lover has left him for good or if there is still some hope left for them. He reflects on the previous two weeks since he heard from his lover and wonders if there is a way to make them stay. He repeats the lines 'why'd you have to go and make me love you?' further emphasizing the hurt and longing he feels.
