H20 ft. Billie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't
Take that away from me

Line by Line Meaning
You took my kisses and all my love
You accepted everything I had to give, including my love and affection
You taught me how to care
You showed me how to love and be compassionate towards others
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair
Am I only allowed to be a leftover memory of a one-sided romance?
All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save
You took everything I had to offer, and I had no reservations about giving it to you. There’s nothing for me to hold onto anymore.
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
I have given you everything I have, so why not take every part of me? I can’t function without you in my life.
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
I don’t want to keep anything that reminds me of you. Take my lips and arms, which I have no use for without you.
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
Your departure has left me with nothing but tears in my eyes. How can I continue living without you by my side?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me
You have taken the most important part of me, my heart, so why not take everything else that’s left?
