When I Find Love Again
James Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where can I go, when all the roads I take they never lead me home
Hey oh
I miss you so, but I'm used to seeing people come and go
Yeah, I've made mistakes
Next time, I swear I'll change
I'll be much better than the man I used to be
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll have a better plan for us
Hey oh
I'm not ashamed, 'cause everybody has a heart that's meant to break
Hey oh
Don't be afraid, 'cause you're only getting stronger from the pain
Yeah I've made mistakes
Next time, I swear I'll change
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll be much better than the man I used to be
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll have a better plan for us
Yeah, you and me
Yeah, I've made mistakes
Next time, I swear I'll change
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll be much better than the man I used to be
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll have a better plan for us
Yeah, you and me
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll be much better than the man I used to be
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll have a better plan for us
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll be much better than the man I used to be
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll have a better plan for us

In the second verse, he acknowledges that everyone has a heart that's meant to break, and he's not ashamed of his past mistakes because they have made him stronger. He hopes that the next time he finds love, he'll be a much better man than the one he used to be and have a better plan for the future.
