Estelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your heart was always for me but as we grow
Something changed down the road
Ain't nothing I could say that could bring us back
To the same as before
Your head is over there you don't feel the same
You don't want me no more
We got to play the game I ain't keepin' scores cause
I'm much clearer now than I've ever been
Aha, thought I'll be with you till the very end
Oh the road got long and things have changed
And you moved on and that's okay because
I finally found my way back to love again
Yeah we changed and we grow
Some things will stay the same as the others pass
Takes a while, a while on the road
And so begins the ad as we reap and sow
Then the hurt, when you're hurt
Stays pressin' on your heart, stings and lets you know
That I feel how I feel
Cuts deeper than a wound I refuse to heal but
I'm much clearer now than I've ever been
Aha, thought I'll be with you till the very end
Oh the road got long and things have changed
And you moved on and that's okay because
I finally found my way back to love again
I finally found my way back to love again
It's time to move on
Time to let go
This is nothing like we dreamed
We will end up
If I love you, I should let you go and change you
'Cause I
I'm much clearer now than I've ever been
Thought that I, thought I'll be with you till the very end
Oh the road got long and things have changed
And you moved on and that's okay because
I finally found my way back to love again
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh the road got long and things have changed
You moved on and that's okay because
I finally found my way back to love again
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh
The lyrics to Estelle's song Back In Love reflect on the ups and downs of a relationship, the changes that occur over time, and the difficulty of moving on after a breakup. The opening lines indicate that at the start of the relationship, the singer knew her partner's heart was always for her. However, as time went on, something changed, and the relationship became strained. Despite her efforts to bring them back to where they were before, her partner's feelings had shifted, and he no longer wanted her. The singer acknowledges that the situation can be painful, but she won't keep score.
However, the singer ultimately finds clarity on the situation, realizing that while the road got long and things changed, she has finally found her way back to love. She acknowledges that some things will stay the same, while others will pass, and it takes time to get through the struggles of a relationship. The hurt may linger, but she is now much clearer and able to move forward. Even though the ending of the relationship may not be what they had hoped for, it's time to let go and move on, as that's the only way for them both to find happiness.
Overall, the song carries the message that love is a journey that's full of twists and turns, and it's not always easy. However, finding one's way back to love is possible, no matter how long the road has been or how much things have changed.
Line by Line Meaning
From the start I knew
I always knew that you loved me
Your heart was always for me but as we grow
We were in love but as time passed we grew apart
Something changed down the road
Something changed in our relationship as time went by
Ain't nothing I could say that could bring us back
There's nothing I can do to fix what we had
To the same as before
To the way we were before
Your head is over there you don't feel the same
You've moved on and you don't feel the same way about me
You don't want me no more
You no longer want to be with me
We got to play the game I ain't keepin' scores cause
We have to keep going but I'm not keeping track of who's winning
I'm much clearer now than I've ever been
I'm now more aware of my feelings than ever before
Aha, thought I'll be with you till the very end
I thought we would be together forever
Oh the road got long and things have changed
Over time, things changed and our relationship grew apart
And you moved on and that's okay because
You've moved on, and that's fine with me
I finally found my way back to love again
I've finally found a way to love again after our failed relationship
Yeah we changed and we grow
We've both changed and grown as individuals
Some things will stay the same as the others pass
Some things never change even as other things come and go
Takes a while, a while on the road
It takes time to figure out where we're going
And so begins the ad as we reap and sow
We start a new journey as we plant and harvest our emotions
Then the hurt, when you're hurt
When you're hurt, it's a deep pain that never really goes away
Stays pressin' on your heart, stings and lets you know
It lingers in your heart and reminds you of the pain you felt
That I feel how I feel
I can't change how I feel about you
Cuts deeper than a wound I refuse to heal but
It hurts more than a physical wound that I can't bring myself to heal
Time to move on
It's time for us to move on
Time to let go
It's time for us to let go of each other
This is nothing like we dreamed
Our relationship didn't turn out the way we thought it would
We will end up
In the end,
If I love you, I should let you go and change you
If I really love you, I need to let you go and allow you to grow and change
Thought that I, thought I'll be with you till the very end
I truly believed we would be together forever
Ooh oh oh oh oh oh
