A Song for You
S.E.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took our pictures off the wall
Off the shelf
Off the desk
Told you how I felt
What you meant and all the rest
I gave you everything
Now I sit with nothing left
I crashed my car, first thing I thought was you
Pam and Jim worked through it
And I thought we could too
Now it's clear to me goodbye means you're gone
And I can't believe it's true
I don't know why this is happening
But if you really wanna leave...
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now a piece of me will always live in you
Here's one last song for you
You know too much about me, I know too much about you
And that's why can't just be friends
But I'll keep your secrets, hopes, and dreams too
Holding every single word we said
Bad and Good, we still understood
Didn't know this was floating in the air
Broke me down there's no turning back now
And there's nothing left to share
I don't know why this is happening
But if you really wanna leave...
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now a piece of me will always live in you
Here's one last song for you
I saw myself in you
We were good for a while
Now I'm missing your smile
How did we end up here
Was it me, was it you
What did we do...
One last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now as long as I live I'll never forget you
Just don't forget me too
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too
Now a piece of me will always live in you
Here's one last song...
I've got one last song for the girl I knew
Who fixed my broken heart and then broke it too




Now a piece of you will always live in me
And that's how I'm going to leave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "A Song For You" by S.E.S. depict a relationship that has run its course and is coming to an end. The singer has taken down all the pictures of them together and has given everything they had to the other person, but now they have nothing left. The singer crashed their car and the first thing they thought of was the person they are singing to, which implies that this individual was a significant part of their life. However, despite their efforts to work through their issues, it becomes clear that the other person is ready to move on and say goodbye for good. The lyrics are full of regret and sadness as the singer struggles to come to terms with this reality and express their feelings through one last song.


The mention of Pam and Jim is a reference to a love story from the TV show, "The Office." The song alludes to the idea that just because the characters in a show can work through their problems, it doesn't mean that it will happen in real life. The lyrics showcase the pain of losing someone who was once an essential part of one's life and coming to terms with the fact that sometimes goodbye really means it's over. It's clear that the singer cherishes the memories they have shared and keeps them close, even as they move on.

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth with holding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone and I was singing this song to you

When my life is over remember singing this song for you
