Erik Hassle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And Amelia, this wasn't the part of the plan
This is the part that nobody mentions
I hope that you know all my intentions were true
All that I wanted was you
Go on, I will be fine
Go on, take all the time you need
We're different that's all, there's only so much I can do
All that I wanted was you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All that I wanted was you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All that I wanted was you
Only you
And Amelia, won't you remember the good?
And Amelia, we gave it all that we could
This is the part that nobody mentions
I hope that you know all my intentions were true
All that I wanted was you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All that I wanted was you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All that I wanted was you
Only you, Amelia
The lyrics of Erik Hassle's song "Amelia" express regret and heartbreak over a failed relationship. The singer appears to be addressing Amelia directly, asking her to relay his apology to others and acknowledging that things did not go according to plan. He emphasizes that his intentions were true and that all he ever wanted was her. Despite the pain of the breakup, he urges Amelia to remember the good times they shared and to recognize that they gave it their all, even if things didn't work out. The repetition of the line "All that I wanted was you" underscores the central theme of the song: that the singer's love was genuine and he is devastated to have lost it.
