Lucy Rose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She held that same hand I hold
It's hard for me to know that
How long she was beside your heart
And you say you've moved on
If I'm going to fall
Are you coming down
You were just a young boy I know
Tell me that you let go far

If I say that I'm hurt if I say it enough
And I walk on my own
Take what you like it goes like this fine
Now what you say
And if you're gonna leave me cause I can't let go,
leave the past and I'll bring it back once more
Take what you like it goes like this fine

I've got love running through my veins
And it's only started
You've got something over me
And it's hard to take it
Now we've taken flight
Everyday in my mind
I know where I should walk alone
Wasn't so long ago far

If you wanna go, if you wanna
If you wanna go, if you wanna
If you wanna go, if you wanna
If you wanna go

They say love, well it goes
But I know, that ours won't

If I say that I'm hurt if I say it enough
If I say that I'm hurt if I say it enough
If I say that I'm hurt if I say it
Take what you like it goes like this fine
Now what you say
And if you're gonna leave me cause I can't let go,
leave the past and I'll bring it back once more
Take what you like it goes like this fine

I can't seem to live without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lucy Rose's song "Like That" explore the theme of heartbreak and the struggle to let go of a past love. The singer reflects on the fact that her current partner has been with someone else before her, and that realization brings about feelings of insecurity and doubt. She wonders how long his previous relationship lasted and questions whether he has truly moved on, despite his claims. The singer acknowledges that she is vulnerable and afraid of getting hurt if she falls for him, but she wants to know if he is willing to come down from his emotional distance. She understands that he was young when his previous relationship ended, but she seeks reassurance that he has truly let go of that past.

The repeated phrase "Take what you like it goes like this fine" suggests that the singer is willing to endure the pain that comes with love, even if it means experiencing heartbreak once again. She is determined to keep giving love a chance, despite her fear and insecurities. The final line, "I can't seem to live without you," shows her dependency on her current partner and her struggle to imagine a life without him.

Line by Line Meaning

She held that same hand I hold
She was once intimately close to the person I am currently involved with

It's hard for me to know that
I find it difficult to accept this fact

How long she was beside your heart
I wonder how long she was in a romantic relationship with you

And you say you've moved on
Yet you claim to have moved forward from that past relationship

If I'm going to fall
If I'm going to allow myself to become emotionally attached to you

Are you coming down
Will you also let yourself be vulnerable and emotionally invested in our relationship

You were just a young boy I know
When we first met, you were still inexperienced and naive

Tell me that you let go far
Assure me that you have distanced yourself from your past

If I say that I'm hurt if I say it enough
If I repeatedly express my pain and anguish

And I walk on my own
While trying to move forward independently

Take what you like it goes like this fine
You can have whatever you want, it doesn't affect me anymore

Now what you say
Now tell me your thoughts on the matter

And if you're gonna leave me cause I can't let go, leave the past and I'll bring it back once more
If you're going to abandon our relationship because I can't fully get over my past, I'll bring that past back into our lives again

I've got love running through my veins
I am filled with love and passion

And it's only started
And it has only just begun

You've got something over me
You have a strong influence or power over me

And it's hard to take it
And it's difficult for me to handle or accept

Now we've taken flight
Now we have embarked on a journey together

Everyday in my mind
Every day, I think about

I know where I should walk alone
I am aware that I should walk this path by myself

Wasn't so long ago far
It wasn't too long ago in the past

If you wanna go, if you wanna
If you want to leave, if you desire

They say love, well it goes
People say that love eventually fades away

But I know, that ours won't
But I am confident and believe that our love will be an exception

If I say that I'm hurt if I say it enough
If I keep vocalizing my pain and distress
