Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've broken my heart and 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
What it means to me
Love of my life, don't leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
(Please bring it back) bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don't take it away from me (take it away from me)
Because you don't know (ooh-ooh-ooh, know, means to me)
What it means to me
Who will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way? (Ooh, yeah)
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)
Back, hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know what it means to me (ooh-ooh-ooh, know, means to me)
Love of my life
Love of my life
Oh, oh
"Love of My Life" by Queen/Paul Rodgers is a powerful ballad of longing and heartbreak, filled with deeply emotional lyrics and stirring melodies. The song tells the story of a man who has lost the love of his life, and who begs her to come back to him, unable to bear the pain of her absence. The first verse is especially poignant, as the singer laments the hurt that his lover has caused him, and begs her to understand the depth of his feelings for her. The line "you don't know what it means to me" is a powerful reminder that even after all the pain, the love he feels is still as strong as ever.
The second verse is even more heartbreaking, as the singer pleads for his lover to come back to him, telling her that she has taken his love and left him alone. He is desperate for her to return to him and bring back the love that she has taken away. The chorus repeats this theme, with the singer declaring his love and begging for his partner to come back to him. Even as he grows older, he promises to remain faithful and to always love her, no matter what.
