To Love Again
Jed Madela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It helps me forget for a while
I look back and recall
Those days I had with you
Sometimes I need a friend
Just to make it through
Another day spend without you
The reasons to live
But then you had to go
And I just got
To let you know
It's hard to love again
Just to make it through
Another day spent without you
And I don't wanna go on pretending
That it's gonna be a happy ending
If I should love again
Once I've learned to love again
And oh
It will never be the same
Without you baby
This pain inside me's driving me crazy
Cause it's hard to love again
Friends are great
They cheer me up for sometime
But when the day is done
My mind is back again with you
Oh God I need a friend
Just to make it through
Another day spent without you
And I don't wanna go on pretending
That it's gonna be a happy ending
If I should love again
Once I've learned to love again
And oh
It will never be the same
Without you baby
This pain inside me's driving me crazy
Cause it's hard to love again
Cause it's hard to love again
