Who Youre With
Language of Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was the hardest thing I ever had to do,
I'd cry myself to sleep at night,
Although I smiled, it's what I used to do
To make it easier.
I wonder where you are and who you're with,
And if you love them too,
Sometimes I wish I knew.
I still miss you.
Sometimes I do
Sometimes I do
Won't you come back to me,
Because I want to be
The one who you're with.
Won't you come back to me,
Because I want to be
The one who you're with.
We've been over years,
And I have no more tears left for you,
I think I'm over you.
But still, I think of all the times
That I spent in your arms,
Under the stars.
We both thought it would never end,
I thought my heart would never mend,
But oh, how we've changed.
And even though we don't speak anymore,
I still miss you.
Sometimes I do
Sometimes I do
Won't you come back to me,
Because I want to be
The one who you're with [Repeat x4]
Who you're with.
The song "Who You're With" by Language of Flowers depicts someone who is struggling to get over their past relationship. The opening verse shows how hard it was for the singer to move on and how they used to cover up their pain by putting on a smile. However, the chorus reveals the underlying feelings of longing and desire to be reunited with their former lover.
The following verse explains that even after years have passed, the singer still thinks about their past relationship with fondness. It appears that the relationship was a happy one based on phrases like "spent in your arms, under the stars." But despite the pleasant memories, the singer knows deep down that rekindling their relationship would break their ex's heart. Thus, the song ends with a repeated plea to be with them again.
Overall, "Who You're With" touches upon a common human experience: the struggle to let go of a past relationship. The song's portrayal of the singer's emotions is relatable and honest, and the concluding plea captures the listener's empathy.

Getting over you
Finally moving on from my feelings towards you
Was the hardest thing I ever had to do,
It took a lot of emotional strength and resilience
I'd cry myself to sleep at night,
My heartache was so intense that it kept me up at night
Although I smiled, it's what I used to do
Despite putting on a facade of happiness, deep down I was struggling
To make it easier.
I tried to convince myself that things were better without you
I wonder where you are and who you're with,
I still think about you and who you might be spending your time with
And if you love them too,
I question if the love we once shared is now present in your new relationships
Sometimes I wish I knew.
I have moments of regret about not being a part of your life anymore
I know deep down the truth would break your heart,
I am aware that revealing my true feelings to you would cause you pain
I still miss you.
Despite everything, I confess that I still long for you
Sometimes I do
At times, I think about reaching out to you
Won't you come back to me,
I desire for us to reconcile and be together again
Because I want to be
My heart's desire is to be the one by your side again
The one who you're with.
I wish to be the person who makes you happiest
We've been over years,
It has been years since our relationship ended
And I have no more tears left for you,
I have exhausted all my emotions concerning you
I think I'm over you.
I believe that I have moved on from my attachment to you
But still, I think of all the times
Memories of our shared past still come to mind
That I spent in your arms,
I reflect on the moments we had together, holding each other close
Under the stars.
The times we spent together and the romantic setting in which they took place
We both thought it would never end,
We were optimistic about the future and our love lasting forever
I thought my heart would never mend,
My feelings for you were so strong, I didn't believe I could recover from the breakup
But oh, how we've changed.
Time has passed, and both of us have grown and evolved
And even though we don't speak anymore,
Our lives have gone in separate directions, and we have lost touch
I still miss you.
Despite everything, my heart still aches for you
Won't you come back to me,
I still hold onto the hope that we can be together again
Because I want to be
My heart's desire is to be the one by your side again
The one who you're with.
I desperately want to be the person who makes you happiest
