Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've hurt me,
You've broken my heart, now you leave me.
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
Love of my life don't leave me,
you've taken my life, (and) now desert me
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
what it means to me.
You will remember
when this is blown over
And everythings all by the way
When i grow older
i will be there at your side to remind you
How i still love you, i still love you
Hurry back hurry back,
(please bring it back home to me) don't take it away from me,
because you don't know what it means to me
love of my life, love of my life...
uhhhh..yeeeeeehhh
"Love Of My Life" by Queen is a beautiful and emotional song about a love that has ended, leaving the singer hurt and broken-hearted. The lyrics express the pain the singer feels as they plead with their lover to come back and bring back the love that they once shared. The song starts off with a heart-wrenching line "Love of my life, you've hurt me, you've broken my heart, now you leave me", which sets the tone for the entire song. The singer feels lost and alone, and they don't know how to cope with the pain of being left behind.
As the song progresses, the singer explains that their love meant everything to them. They ask their lover to come back and bring back the love that they once shared, expressing how much it means to them. The singer cannot understand how their lover could leave, not realizing how much their love meant to them. The lyrics are very raw and emotional, and it's almost as if the singer is pleading with their lover to come back and fix everything that has been broken.
The song ends with a glimmer of hope. The singer notes that when everything is "blown over", they will still be there for their lover and will remind them of how much they still love them. The song is both heartbreaking and hopeful, expressing the complexity of love and how it can leave us hurt and yearning.

It's just incredible how Freddie can even control a crowd from a screen 30 years after his death. Now that's what I call charisma

Freddie was a very powerful and influential person. He had more power over a crowd than anyone else. He just absorbed their love, sang his heart out, while the crowd absorbed the love back and sang right back at him.
