Gaia Cauchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wrote this one for you
It′s not a love song or a fairytale
But I have to say the truth
I gave you my all
And I showed you all my scars
But you didn't have the answer
I loved you then
But I don′t love no more
I held your hand
But you showed me door
You stoop so low
So this is my message to you
I hope that you've found someone new
But don't call my name, no more
This is my message to you
I hope that you′ve found someone new
But don′t call my name, no more
I was a soldier
I gave you my life
But you lied to my face
When you said, when you said that we were fine
Now I fought so hard
To try to make it work
But I realised that I'm better off alone
I loved you then
But I don′t love no more
And I held your hand
But you showed me the door
You stoop so low
So this is my message to you
I hope that you've found someone new
But don′t call my name, no more
This is my message to you
I hope that you've found someone new
But don′t call my name
This is my message to you
I hope that you found someone new
But don't call my name, no more
This is my message to you

The song also talks about her sacrifices, where Gaia compares herself to a soldier and how she gave her all to that person. But unfortunately, they didn't appreciate her efforts, and they lied to her when they said that everything was fine between them.

I completely agree! This Christina Aguilera kind of a song is just perfect, especially when it's Gaia who sings it ♥

And exactly something like this would be perfect choice for Eurovision. I think that Destiny proved that JESC artists coming back to ESC is something which worth trying. :-)
