Liam Horne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Told ya, lady now baby, I'm a fool for waiting all along
but I know you were to come
You tried to escape
and now I was misbehavin'
My love'll show,
when you walk right through the door

I can take you places you ain't never been before
I can show you what it feels like to be adored
When you come through there's a party over round
All you gotta do is walk through the door like

oh, oh oh, oh oh, ohh [x2]
Our love is like a tragedy
When your not here with me,
I might as well stop breathing
Our love is like a tragedy
Well, when your hear with me
Can't help the chemistry
Oh, our love is like an
oh, oh oh, oh, ohh [x2]

My fingertips
They were on cigarettes
But girl just let 'em roam
As they movin' on your dress
Bonjour, como estas, baby?
It's you and me girl
We be actin' crazy
It's time to go
When you won't say maybe
When you walk through the door

I'm not gonna talk like a Mr. Jamie Foxx
I don't needa blame it on the alca-alca-alca (alcohol)
Girl you know it's true
You'll know it when you do
Let me show you what to do

oh, oh oh, oh oh, ohh [x2]
Our love is like a tragedy
When your not here with me,
I might as well stop breathing
Our love is like a tragedy
Well, when your hear with me
Can't help the chemistry
Oh, our love is like an

Never met a boy like me before
I can be your gentleman take you to court
She like the way I sing
And the way I flow
But she likes my Scottish-lingo

oh, oh oh, oh oh, ohh [x2]
Our love is like a tragedy
When your not here with me,
I might as well stop breathing
Our love is like a tragedy
Well, when your hear with me
Can't help the chemistry
Oh, our love is like an




oh, oh oh, oh, ohh [x2]
Our love is like a tragedy...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Liam Horne's Tragedy focus on a love that feels like a tragedy when two people are apart, but becomes magical when they are together. At the beginning of the song, Horne expresses his foolishness for waiting for his lover to return. He acknowledges that she tried to escape, and he misbehaved. However, he promises that his love will show when she walks right through the door. He then goes on to say that he can take her places she has never been before and show her what it feels like to be adored. In the chorus, Horne repeats "our love is like a tragedy," emphasizing that their love seems to be a sad story when they are not together but is intense and full of chemistry when they are.


Horne uses a combination of metaphors and direct language to convey his feelings towards his lover. For example, he compares their love to a tragedy, which is a metaphorical description. He then goes on to use direct language, like when he sings about his fingertips being on cigarettes or asking his lover, "Bonjour, como estas, baby?" This combination of metaphors and direct language adds depth to the lyrics and captures the complexity of emotions involved in relationships.
