Dear Darlin
Murs Olly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can’t stop my hands from shaking
'Cause I’m cold and alone tonight.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried.
And if my words break through the wall
All I could say is “Girl, I mean them all.”
Dear Darlin’, please excuse my writing.
I can’t stop my hands from shaking
'Cause I’m cold and alone tonight.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried. We tried.
I understand where he's coming from.
Been thinking about the ball we dreamt.
Feeling like the sofa was sinking.
I was warm in the hope of your eyes.
So if my words break through the wall
To meet you at your door,
All I could say is “Girl, I mean them all.”
Dear Darlin’, please excuse my writing.

Oh I concur. These arms are yours to hold.
And I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried. We tried.

This was my little brothers song with his wife. He died from lung cancer in 2014 . This is the first time I've been able to listen to it all the way through without crumbling in tears..... I miss you so much Ben. I love how a song can take you back to a moment in time and invoke all the same old feelings that you were feeling at the time... I'll see you again one day Bruv, in that big rave tent in the sky.....
@Dameaame
Peace to you, your family and your brother in heaven
