Love Letter
Famous Like You Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

First things first. I knew I'd miss you but I thought I could write it out. Little did I know, that you'd be running away with my heart somehow. I cant tell you the way that it feels when I think of how it all went down. Ten missed calls on your telephone, I wish that you would just hear me out.
I never thought I would give it away but its a little too late and my hearts long gone.
I never thought I'd see the day you'd be walking away but I was wrong.
This is just a love letter. I'm writing you to tell you that I've been better. I'm writing you to say that it was all I had. And I'm never gonna get you back. A stupid little love letter, I know its never ever gonna get better. I'm writing you to say that it was all I had. And I'm never gonna get you back yeah yeah now
Three little words. I wish that I'd never heard, cause now I cant even fall asleep, you said forever and always, you and me, and now it's driving me crazy how we don't even speak.
I never thought I'd give it away but its a little too late and my hearts long gone. I never thought I'd see the day you'd be walking away but now you're gone.
This is just a love letter. I'm writing you to tell you that I've been better. I'm writing you to say that it was all I had, and I'm never gonna get you back. A stupid little love letter. I know its never ever gonna get better. I'm writing you to say that it was all I had. And I'm never gonna get you back
I'm holding on till I cant any more. It's nothing that you've never heard before, I hope you know I mean it. Well please believe it.

This is just a love letter. I'm writing you to tell you that I've been better. I'm writing you to say that it was all I had. And I'm never gonna get you back. A stupid little love letter. I know it's never ever gonna get better. I'm writing you to say that it was all I had. And I'm never gonna never gonna gonna get you back
No I'm never gonna get you.

I'm never gonna get you.
This is just a love letter. I'm writing you to tell you that I've been better. I'm writing you to say that it was all I had. And I'm never gonna get you back.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Love Letter" by Famous Like You captures the emotions of heartbreak and longing for an ex-lover. The song is written in the form of a letter addressed to the person who broke their heart. It starts with the writer acknowledging that they knew they would miss their former partner but thought they could "write it out." However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the writer's efforts were in vain. The chorus admits defeat, that the love letter is "stupid" and they are never going to get their partner back. Despite this, they continue to hold on, hoping against hope that their efforts may reignite the flame that once burned between them.

The lyrics are raw and honest, portraying the pain and sadness that comes with a broken heart. The writer laments the irony of the situation - how they never thought they would give their heart away but they did, how they never thought they would see the day their partner walked away, but it came too soon. The use of the phrase "forever and always" brings a sense of loss and betrayal - this promise was broken, and it has left the writer struggling to come to terms with their reality.

In conclusion, "Love Letter" is not just a song about unrequited love. It is a song about trying everything you can to save a dying relationship, only to realize that sometimes, no matter how much you want it, it is not meant to be. The writer has put their heart and soul into these lyrics, attempting to make sense of their heartbreak and pain.
