Dear Darlin'
Olly Murs 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
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
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
The song "Dear Darlin'" by Olly Murs is a heart-wrenching ballad that delves into the emotions of a man who misses someone he used to love. The first verse talks about the writer's inability to stop his hands from shaking as he pens down the letter. He feels cold and alone, unable to bear the absence of his love. He reminisces about the time they spent together, which although short and sweet, meant a lot to him. The chorus repeats the pain and his inability to cope with the missing part of his life. However, he hopes that his words will break through to her, and she will understand the depth of his emotions.
The second verse speaks about him sitting on his sofa in deep thought about their time together. He feels the sinking feeling and the warmth of the hope of seeing her again in his eyes. Again, the chorus accentuates his longing and pain due to their separation. The bridge of the song talks about how much he misses her and agrees that he was wrong, and his arms are open for her to hold. The last part of the song repeats the chorus emphasizing his pain and how much he has tried to handle the situation.

I apologize for putting my thoughts on paper
I can't stop my hands from shaking
I'm nervous and anxious as I write this letter to you
'Cause I'm cold and alone tonight
I'm feeling lonely and isolated without you here by my side
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you
I'm missing you deeply, and the pain of not having you around is unbearable

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.
And if my words break through the wall
And meet you at your door,
All I can say is “Girl, I mean them all.”

[Woman:] I understand where he's coming from.
Been thinking about the bar we drank in.
Feeling like the sofa was sinking.
I was warm in the hold of your eyes.
So if my words break through the wall
To meet you at your door,
All I can say is “Girl, I mean them all.”

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
