love at first sight
R&B Divas United Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're sitting by the bedside tonight
Everything with you, felt so new
Had a couple drinks together, were we alright
Arm shaking by the window, I kissed you
Should've seen the signs not give my best
But I was hooked onto, all your texts

She don't like roses, no need model poses

Should I let her go, let her go

Baby, it's not all rainbows and sunsets
And I miss, the beauty stuck in your mess
Cause my heart can't seem to rest
Tough choices make better days
When first love drains your heart away

We baked a cake with my mom and dad
My ring on your finger was our intent
Had many firsts together, I should be glad
But were we feeding our demons, on the bed
With lust in the moment not love that we spent
Was it all just to paint the town, full of red

She don't like roses, no need model poses
Should I let her go, let her go

Baby, it's not all rainbows and sunsets
And I miss, the beauty stuck in your mess
Cause my heart can't seem to rest
Tough choices make better days
When first love drains your heart away

No more waking beside you
No more scrapbooks and sweet tunes
No more teddy bears saying, Hey Mister
No more seeing you in the crowds
No more pizza over wine and dine
It's now two different honeymoons
But I'll be alright, without you
Alright, without you

Baby, it's not all rainbows and sunsets
And I miss, the beauty stuck in your mess
Cause my heart can't seem to rest
Tough choices make better days
When first love drains your heart away

Baby, it's not all rainbows and sunsets
And I miss, the beauty stuck in your mess
Cause my heart can't seem to rest
Tough choices make better days
When first love drains your heart away

When first love drains your heart away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to R&B Divas United's song "Love At First Sight" tell the story of a relationship that starts off exciting and full of potential, but ultimately ends in heartbreak and disappointment.

In the first paragraph, the singer reminisces about the initial stages of the relationship. They describe sitting by the bedside with their partner, feeling a sense of newness and excitement. They had a few drinks together and shared a passionate kiss. The singer realizes in hindsight that they ignored the warning signs and put too much importance on their partner's texts, becoming hooked on their attention.

The second paragraph reflects the realization that the relationship wasn't as perfect as it seemed. The singer acknowledges that their partner doesn't care for romantic gestures like roses or posing for photos. They question whether they should let go of this person who doesn't align with their idealized version of love.

The third paragraph reflects on the various experiences the couple shared, such as baking a cake with their parents and the intention of marriage. However, the singer questions whether these experiences were fueled by genuine love or if they were simply feeding their Desires and lust. They wonder if their time together was just an attempt to create excitement and passion, rather than building a true foundation for a lasting relationship.

The fourth paragraph signifies the end of the relationship. The singer laments the loss of waking up next to their partner, creating scrapbooks, and participating in cute traditions. They acknowledge that they will be okay without their partner, even though it means letting go of the familiar. The repetition of the phrase "Baby, it's not all rainbows and sunsets" emphasizes the realistic view of love, acknowledging that it's not always perfect and that tough choices are necessary for personal growth and healing.

The final line, "When first love drains your heart away," serves as a powerful conclusion to the song. It encapsulates the main theme, acknowledging the painful truth that first love can leave you feeling emotionally drained and heartbroken.

Line by Line Meaning

We're sitting by the bedside tonight
We are currently sitting together near the bed

Everything with you, felt so new
Every experience with you felt fresh and exciting

Had a couple drinks together, were we alright
We had a few drinks together, and I wondered if everything was okay

Arm shaking by the window, I kissed you
My arm trembled while we were by the window, and I kissed you

Should've seen the signs not give my best
I should have recognized the warning signs and not given my all

But I was hooked onto, all your texts
I was strongly attached to all the messages you sent

She don't like roses, no need model poses
She doesn't enjoy roses and doesn't require elaborate poses

Should I let her go, let her go
Should I allow her to leave and move on?

Baby, it's not all rainbows and sunsets
My dear, life is not always filled with happiness and beauty

And I miss, the beauty stuck in your mess
I long for the beauty that was present amidst the chaos of our relationship

Cause my heart can't seem to rest
Because my heart is unable to find peace

Tough choices make better days
Making difficult decisions leads to brighter times

When first love drains your heart away
When the intensity of first love exhausts your emotions

We baked a cake with my mom and dad
We made a cake together in the presence of my parents

My ring on your finger was our intent
The purpose behind you wearing my ring was clear

Had many firsts together, I should be glad
We experienced various significant moments together, and I should feel happy

But were we feeding our demons, on the bed
However, were we unknowingly indulging in harmful behavior in our intimate moments?

With lust in the moment not love that we spent
We were driven by desire in those moments, not genuine love

Was it all just to paint the town, full of red
Did we engage in those experiences solely to create a passionate and intense illusion?

No more waking beside you
I will no longer wake up next to you

No more scrapbooks and sweet tunes
There will be no more scrapbooks filled with memories and pleasant music

No more teddy bears saying, Hey Mister
There will be no more teddy bears addressing me as 'Hey Mister'

No more seeing you in the crowds
I will no longer spot you in the midst of a crowd

No more pizza over wine and dine
We won't be having enjoyable meals together with pizza and wine

It's now two different honeymoons
We are now experiencing separate and distinct types of bliss

But I'll be alright, without you
However, I will be fine and able to move on without you

Alright, without you
I will be okay, even without you
