Someday
One Less Reason Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd take your place if your soul's for sale
But you weren't coming around just to leave
I want to fall in love again
Maybe I could find a sucker or even a friend
I'd keep you around til I leave
Cause you feel pain like no one else
You're gonna regret it all if you leave, if you leave
Was that the way they get back at you?
And how they all said "I'll see you soon"
We close the door and we never do
We just leave, we just leave
Everyone says "best of intentions, they die with goodbye"
Well...
I fear that someday love might save me
I hear that someday's on its way
I know I'm wrong but I'm not changing
It's harder to hold when it's worth letting go
When it's worth letting go
Do you remember the day, remember the song?
Remember how everything went wrong?
When you renewed your faith but you didn't feel saved
You said to be a savior you're taking so damn long
And it feels so wrong
I fear that someday love might save me
I hear that someday's on its way
I know I'm wrong but I'm not changing
It's harder to hold, it's harder to hold
When it's worth letting go, when it's worth letting go
I fear that someday love might save me
I hear that someday's on its way
I know I'm wrong but I'm not changing
It's harder to hold when it's worth letting go
The song "Someday" by One Less Reason is a powerful ballad about love, loss, and regret. The singer addresses someone who is leaving, and expresses their willingness to help them if they need it. However, the person they are addressing is not interested in sticking around, and the singer contemplates falling in love again in the hopes of finding a "sucker or even a friend" who will stay. The lyrics are tinged with sadness as the singer recognizes that "best of intentions die with goodbye."
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I fear that someday love might save me," conveying a sense of hopelessness and longing for love to heal past hurts. The repetition of this line reinforces the idea that sometimes hope is all we have to hold onto, even when everything else seems to be falling apart. The song is ultimately a reflection on the fragility of human connections and the difficulty of letting go when something is worth holding onto.
Overall, "Someday" is a poignant and introspective song that explores the complexities of human emotions and relationships. It is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak or loss, and its haunting melody and heartfelt lyrics are likely to stay with listeners long after the song ends.
