Little Mix Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You turn, and I learned that the wall comes falling down
Not a word, only hurt when my friends can tell me now
I feel loved when I see your face
But all these scars, I can't replace
Shock me high
Hit me hard, and I don't know what you say

When you knock on my door

And tell me you don't wanna fight
Oh, baby I'm sure that I'm not gonna fall this time
Oh

You never brought me flowers
Never held me in my darkest hours
And you left it so late that my heart feels nothing nothing in towers
Once we were made like towers
Everything could've been ours
But you left it too late now my heart feels nothing nothing at all

It's a shame
You're to blame
'Cause once you owned my heart
I remember feeling so high
But I'm right back at the start
I still feel loved when I see your face
But all these tears I can't erase
Sorry heart, I'm sorry heart
But we'll have to start again

So don't knock on my door and tell me you don't wanna fight
'Cause I heard it before
And I'm not going back this time
Not going back this time

You never brought me flowers
Never held me in my darkest hours
And you left it so late that my heart feels nothing nothing in towers
Once we were made like towers
Everything could've been ours
But you left it too late now my heart feels nothing nothing at all (oh oh oh)

Nothing at all (oh oh oh)

When you're close I wanna change my mind
But I remember you and what we're like
I don't wanna let you waste my time

And you never brought me flowers
Never held me in my darkest hours
And you left it so late that my heart feels nothing nothing at all

Once we were made like towers
Everything could've been ours
But you left it too late now my heart feels nothing nothing at all

Nothing at all
Nothing at all

Once we were built like towers
Nothing at all

We were built like towers
Now my heart feels nothing at all

Overall Meaning

"Towers" by Little Mix is a song about moving on from a failed relationship. The song starts by talking about how the singer only realizes the pain and hurt in the relationship when her friends point it out to her. She loves seeing the person's face but can't ignore the scars they've left on her. She's in a constant state of shock because she can't understand what the person is trying to say.

The chorus talks about how the person never brought her flowers, never held her when she needed it and left it too late to make things right. Once, they were like towers, unstoppable and strong, but it's too late to fix anything now. The singer remembers feeling high and loved, but now she's back to where she started, her heart feeling empty and disappointed.

In the second verse, the singer says she doesn't want to waste any more time on this person. She wants to move on and not let them waste any more of her time. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the phrase "nothing at all," emphasizing how the relationship is now nothing but a memory.
