Break of Dawn
Eric Saade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stand another night alone in my bed
Missing, hoping
At the break of dawn
I won't let go
Won't give up no
Think about home when you're far away
At the break of dawn
Think about us when we said forever
Think about me and remember I'm alone
At the break of dawn
At the break of dawn
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
I believe that somewhere down the line you'll be mine
In the twilight
I feel your beating heart
I won't let go
Won't give up no
Think about home when you're far away
Think about me when I wake up and you're gone
At the break of dawn
Think about us when we said forever
Think about me and remember I'm alone
At the break of dawn
At the break of dawn
My hands were cold and dry
Your cheeks were red
We promised that we'd love forever
That's what we said
That's what we said
Think about home when you're far away
Think about me when I wake up and you're gone
At the break of dawn
Think about us when we said forever
Think about me and remember I'm alone
At the break of dawn
At the break of dawn
At the break of dawn

During the soft glow of the evening before sunset
I feel your beating heart
I still feel connected to you and your heart even though we are apart
My hands were cold and dry
I was nervous and cold without you
Your cheeks were red
You were blushing and warm in my presence
We promised that we'd love forever
We made a commitment to love each other eternally
That's what we said
We both agreed and promised this to each other

The way he looks at her... omg I just wish that was me. I used to be obsessed with Eric and his songs by this time. I loved him 2010-2011. That was the best time. He still sings good today but his songs... I don't know. Break Of Dawn means a lot. â„
