Deeper
Rowland & Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am your daughter
We do not agree on anything
Different styles different beliefs
Different opinions and different griefs
I might not know you if I didn't look at your face
And see myself
Than the language that I use
My love is deeper
Than the harshest words I choose
So just remember
Don't be confused
I love you
We've been through some rough times
Silence may ensue
Inside there is pain and actions
That I soon rue
We talk it out
We try to move on
But there are scars
And some apologies that are due
My love is deeper
Than the language that I use
My love is deeper
Than the harshest words I choose
So just remember
Don't be confused
I love you
I feel you always with me
Forever in my heart
A love so strong and solid
That I know that you're there
Even when we're apart
My love is deeper
Than the language that I use
My love is deeper
Than the harshest words I choose
So just remember
Don't be confused
That I love you
I love you
I love you
