This Love
Mills Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're everything I every wanted
You're everything I ever needed
You're everything that was good in my life
How did things go so bad?

Well I could say I'm sorry
I tried to tell you I can change
But the words they get all twisted
They get rearranged

This love is gonna kill me
This love is gonna kill me
This love is gonna kill me
One of these days

Well I guess that you're leaving
I really don't know why you stayed
I guess it don't matter
What can I say

This love is gonna kill me
This love is gonna kill me
This love is gonna kill me
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days




One of these days
One of these days

Overall Meaning

In Mills Chris's song "This Love," the artist reflects on a failed relationship and the overwhelming feeling of despair and heartbreak that comes with it. Through the lyrics "You're everything I ever wanted, you're everything I ever needed, you're everything that was good in my life," we get the sense that the vocalist genuinely loved their partner and felt they were the missing piece to their life. However, the song also expresses confusion and frustration: "How did things go so bad?" The lyrics suggest that, despite efforts to save the relationship ("Well I could say I'm sorry, I tried to tell you I can change"), communication breakdowns and misunderstandings eventually led to the dissolution of the relationship.


As the song comes to a close, the singer resigns themselves to the fact that the relationship is coming to an end: "Well I guess that you're leaving, I really don't know why you stayed." The chorus, "This love is gonna kill me, one of these days," repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the intense emotional pain and heartbreak caused by a failed relationship.


Overall, "This Love" is a melancholic and emotional song that speaks to the pain caused by a failed relationship. It touches on themes of love, loss, communication breakdown, and heartbreak in a poignant and relatable way.
