Letter 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You seem so distant and I can't get through
How long will you stay away
While your heart grows colder day by day
Open your eyes see how I care for you
All those times I was still there for you
Remember how far you've fallen
Come back to your first love
Let me give you life again
Your feelin' so empty now you hardly ever smile
Even so when you do it's only for a little while
I miss our times together wish you were here
How I long to hold you and wipe away your tears
Turn around I'm right here waiting for you
Reach out to me and I will come running to you
Long before time
You were already mine
Nothing can take you away from me
The lyrics of Letter 7's First Love is a song about a person who is pleading with their first love to come back to them. The person has been away for a long time, and the other person cannot seem to reach them. They are sad about how the distance has made the other person's heart grow cold. The singer in the song tried to be there for the other person all those times, but now they feel helpless as they can't seem to get through to the one they love.
The song paints a picture of someone who is broken and lost, who no longer smiles but only for a little while when they do. The singer remembers the good times they had together and longs to have them back. They remain patient and wait for the other person to come back to their first love, hoping to give them life again.
In conclusion, Letter 7's First Love is a melancholic song about lost love, longing, and hope for reconciliation. The lyrics express the deep emotions felt when one cannot connect with someone they love and are unsure if they will return.
