One Love
Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I often wonder why he came to me
Brought such a flame to me

And let it die
And if another love should find my heart
It will remind my heart of your goodbye

With every new love you
Will come back to me
In others eyes, its you I see
If I love again
Though its someone new

If I love again
It'll still be you
In someone else's firm embrace
I'll close my eyes but see your face

If I love again
I'll find other charms
But I'll make believe, you are in my arms
And though my lips whisper

"I love you"
My heart will not be true




I'll be loving
Every time I love again

Line by Line Meaning

I often wonder why he came to me
I am perplexed about why he chose me


Brought such a flame to me
His love was intense and passionate


And let it die
But he ended our relationship


And if another love should find my heart
If I fall in love again


It will remind my heart of your goodbye
I will be reminded of his departure


With every new love you
Every new lover


Will come back to me
Will remind me of him


In others eyes, its you I see
I will see him in someone else's eyes


If I love again
If I fall in love again


Though its someone new
Even if it's a different person


It'll still be you
I will still feel like I am with my previous lover


In someone else's firm embrace
Even in the arms of a different person


I'll close my eyes but see your face
I will imagine that I am with him


If I love again
If I fall in love again


I'll find other charms
I will discover other admirable qualities in a new lover


But I'll make believe, you are in my arms
But I will pretend that I am with my previous lover


And though my lips whisper
Even though I say


"I love you"
"I love you"


My heart will not be true
My feelings will not be genuine


I'll be loving
My heart will still belong to


Every time I love again
Every time I start a new romantic relationship
