Love?
Nothing More Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you wanted the stars
Did I not shine?
I showed you you
You showed me me
And this is how love is supposed to be
I'm waiting for you, waiting
Please change your mind and come home tonight
I'll sing it 'til the stars fall down
I'll sing it 'til my lungs dry out
I can sing it all night long
But you never listen when I sing this song
Lie to me
And try to make me believe
That I can save you, unchain you
From your mind that takes, cause your heart won't break
And this is how love is supposed to be?
You said it best
Logic will break your heart
You don't know it yet
It's torn your world apart
Do you always run
When the stakes are getting high?
If loving you is the death of me
Then now's the time to die
Goodbye to you baby
Goodbye
I'm not waiting
I've made up my mind, don't come home tonight
I'll sing it 'til the stars fall down
I'll sing it 'til my lungs dry out
I can sing it all night long
But you didn't listen when I sang this song
The lyrics to "Love?" by Nothing More are about a failed relationship between two people who were once in love. The first verse begins with the singer questioning the other person's commitment to the relationship by asking if he or she did not shine enough. The next lines are more introspective, with the singer reflecting on how the relationship has made him or her more self-aware. The chorus is a plea for the other person to come back and a declaration of love that will not be heard.
The second verse begins with the singer trying to comfort the other person, promising to save him or her from their own mind. However, this promise is quickly followed by a realization that logic can break one's heart, and that the other person's mind has already torn their world apart. The chorus then repeats, with the singer singing that he or she will keep singing, even though the other person never listens.
The final lines of the song are a declaration of independence as the singer decides not to wait for the other person to come home. The chorus then repeats a final time, with the lyrics changing from "I can sing it all night long" to "but I won't sing this song."

I caught you
I noticed that you wanted something more
But you wanted the stars
You wanted something beyond what I could give you
Did I not shine?
Didn't I try to be the best for you?
I showed you you
I helped you discover who you really are
You showed me me
You helped me discover my true self too
And this is how love is supposed to be
Love is supposed to be about mutual growth and discovery
I'm waiting for you, waiting
I'm still hoping that you'll come back to me
I'll be here,
I'll wait for you as long as it takes
Please change your mind and come home tonight
I'm pleading with you to reconsider and return to me
I'll sing it 'til the stars fall down
I'll keep expressing my love for you no matter what
I'll sing it 'til my lungs dry out
I'll keep singing for you as long as I can
I can sing it all night long
I'm willing to keep trying for you indefinitely
But you never listen when I sing this song
You're not receptive to my efforts to reach you
Lie to me
Tell me what I want to hear
And try to make me believe
Convince me that you still care
That I can save you, unchain you
That I can be the one to help you break free from your struggles
From your mind that takes, cause your heart won't break
From the thoughts that are weighing you down and preventing you from letting go
And this is how love is supposed to be?
Is this really what love is supposed to look like?
You said it best
You were right about something
Logic will break your heart
You can't always rely on rationality when it comes to love
You don't know it yet
You're not aware of just how complicated love can be
It's torn your world apart
Your feelings have caused a lot of chaos in your life
Do you always run
Are you always this quick to give up?
When the stakes are getting high?
When things get complicated or difficult?
If loving you is the death of me
If being with you is ultimately more harmful than good
Then now's the time to die
Then it's time for me to let go and move on
Goodbye to you baby
Farewell to you, my love
Goodbye
I'm ready to move forward without you
I'm not waiting
I'm done with waiting around for you
I've made up my mind, don't come home tonight
I've decided to move on and I don't want to see you again
But you didn't listen when I sang this song
It's too late for you to try and make things right now
