Homeless
Leona Lewis(里歐娜) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you to call me
For you to tell me
That everything's a big mistake
Waiting here
In this rainfall
Feeling so small
I'm so sorry now
For the pain I caused you
Wont you please forgive
Please
But you don't love me anymore
You don't want me anymore
There's a sign on your door
No vacancy, just emptiness
Without your love
I'm homeless
In this cold
I'm walking aimless
Feeling helpless
Without a shelter from the storm
In my heart
I miss you so much
Missing your touch
And the bed that used to be so warm
I'm so sorry now
For the pain I caused you
Wont you please forgive
Please
But you don't love me anymore
You don't want me anymore
There's a sign on your door
No vacancy, just emptiness
Without your love
I'm homeless
My, My baby
I'm sorry
Oh
But you don't love me anymore
You don't want me anymore
There's a sign on your door
No vacancy, just emptiness
Without your love
I'm homeless
In this emotionally-charged song, Leona Lewis sings about the pain of heartbreak and the feeling of being lost and alone. She is waiting for a call from her former lover, hoping that they will tell her that their breakup was a mistake. As she stands in the rain, she feels small and helpless, with no shelter from the storm. She apologizes for the pain she has caused and begs for forgiveness, but it is clear that the relationship is over. With no love left, she feels homeless and lost, aimlessly wandering in the cold.
These lyrics capture the raw emotions felt after a breakup, especially when one person is still holding onto hope while the other has moved on. The metaphor of being homeless without love is a powerful and poignant one, showing just how important love and connection are to our sense of self and well-being.
