Another Sad Love Song
Khalid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not the best at showing my emotions
You cut me deep and you left me wide open
I fought the demons that lie in between us
They'd think we're perfect if they'd ever seen us, but
I guess this sounds like another sad love song
I can't get over how it all went wrong
But, I let the words come together
Then, maybe I'll feel better

Bridges they are burning
Lover, I am worried
Tables they are turning
Lover, I am hurting
Burning burning burning, dadadad
Turning turning turning turning, dadadada
Burning burning burning, dadadada
Turning turning turning turning, dadadada

I took the time to think of what you said
You were tap-dancing in my head
I must be honest, I have a lot of pride
But I'm broken inside
I guess this sounds like another sad love song
I can't get over how it all went wrong
But, I let the words come together
Then, maybe I'll feel better

Bridges they are burning
Lover, I am worried
Tables they are turning
Lover, I am hurting
Bridges they are burning
Lover, I am worried
Tables they are turning
Lover, I am hurting
Burning burning burning, dadadadad
Turning turning turning turning, dadadada
Burning burning burning, dadadada
Turning turning turning turning, dadadada
Burning burning burning, dadadada
Turning turning turning turning, dadadada
Burning burning burning, dadadada
Turning turning turning turning, dadadada
Bridges they are burning
Lover, I am worried
Tables they are turning
Lover, I am hurting
Bridges they are burning
Lover, I am worried




Tables they are turning
Lover, I am hurting
