Everything You Are
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was just lonely
And everybody falls apart sometimes
I know you've found another one
But won't you just hold me tonight
I wish I never called you up
Nobody told me
So take a good look at us
Won't you just hold me tonight
And I will stop trying to fall in love again
And keep it a secret
It never works out, anyway
But I am not, anything like I was
'Cause you were the only one for me
Yeah, yeah
'Cause maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night
If that's right
I shouldn't have fucked with your mind
And your life too many times
Or maybe I don't wanna be lonely
Darling, you are my only love
Behind my truth lies everything you are
I never meant to sleep around
I was just lonely
You did the same, again and again and again
Oh, I know
So here's to the both of us
Here's to our story tonight
Oh, I will stop trying to fall in love again
And keep it a secret
It never works out, anyway
But I am not, anything like I was
'Cause you were the only one for me
Hmm, yeah
Maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night
If that's right
I shouldn't have fucked with your mind
And your life too many times
Or maybe I don't wanna be lonely
Darling, you are my only love
Behind my truth lies everything you are
When I see my future
It is with you
We'll get there
I want my children to be with you
We'll get there
hmm yeah
'Cause maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night
If that's right
I shouldn't have fucked with your mind
And your life too many times
Or maybe I don't wanna be lonely
Darling, you are my only love
Behind my truth lies everything you are
Behind my truth lies everything you are
Behind my truth lies everything you are
The song "Who You Are" by Ed Sheeran is a ballad about regret for past mistakes and pleading for a second chance with a former lover. He admits that he was lonely and made bad decisions, leading to the end of their relationship. The chorus repeats the line "maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night," indicating that he values the relationship not only as a romantic one but also as a friendship.
Further into the song, Sheeran expresses his desire to keep his attempts at falling in love a secret, as they never seem to work out. He acknowledges that he has changed from the person he was when they were together, but feels the same about his former partner. The bridge ties together the major themes of the song, with Sheeran reaffirming his love and commitment to the relationship, and expressing hope for a future with his former partner and their children.
Overall, "Who You Are" is a heartfelt plea for forgiveness and an attempt to salvage a love that was lost due to past mistakes.
Line by Line Meaning
I didn't mean to break your heart
I unintentionally hurt you emotionally
I was just lonely
I felt isolated without you
And everybody falls apart sometimes
Everyone experiences difficult times in life
I know you've found another one
You have moved on and found someone new
But won't you just hold me tonight
I am struggling and need comfort from you
I wish I never called you up
I regret contacting you
Nobody told me
I didn't receive any warning or advice
And they don't know we don't speak anymore
People are unaware we have stopped communicating
So take a good look at us
Reflect on our past and present situation
And I will stop trying to fall in love again
I will give up on finding love
And keep it a secret
I won't tell anyone about my decision
It never works out, anyway
I have had bad experiences with love before
But I am not, anything like I was
I have changed as a person
'Cause you were the only one for me
You were my only true love
'Cause maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night
I don't want to lose both our romantic and platonic relationship simultaneously
If that's right
If that is what you want too
I shouldn't have fucked with your mind
I shouldn't have emotionally manipulated you
And your life too many times
I impacted your life negatively too many times
Or maybe I don't wanna be lonely
Maybe I am afraid of being alone
Darling, you are my only love
You are the only person I have ever truly loved
Behind my truth lies everything you are
You are my everything and mean the world to me
I never meant to sleep around
I didn't mean to cheat on you
You did the same, again and again and again
You also cheated on me multiple times
Oh, I know
I am aware of this fact
So here's to the both of us
Let's celebrate us tonight
When I see my future
When I imagine how my life will be
It is with you
You are in my future plans
We'll get there
We will make it work
I want my children to be with you
I want to have a family with you
Behind my truth lies everything you are
You are my everything and mean the world to me
