Tears On My Pillow
S Club 8 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't remember me, but I remember you
T'was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you

Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love
She'll fill your heart with joy

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
Caused by you




Caused by you
Caused by you

Overall Meaning

At first glance, Tears on my Pillow by S Club 8, appears to be a typical teenage heartbreak song. However, the lyrics contain a deeper meaning. The opening line, "You don't remember me, but I remember you" sets the stage for a love that is one-sided, unrequited. The singer remembers someone who broke their heart in two. The tears on their pillow and pain in their heart is clearly caused by this person, as they repeatedly mention throughout the song. Despite the heartbreak, the singer has not been able to forget about this person and longs to start anew, and would "gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate."


The lyrics also touch on the idea that love is not a gadget or toy that can be easily replaced. "When you find the one you love, she'll fill your heart with joy." It suggests that the singer believes that the person who broke their heart was their one true love and despite everything, they still long for them. The repetition of "caused by you" at the end of every verse emphasizes the cause of their pain and suggests that the singer is grappling with the feeling of being betrayed.

You can say whatever you want about Frankie Sandford, but you can't deny that the girl's got swag and is born to entertain, she's so natural when dancing and performing. Though she might not be the best singer, I love her!

@hannarr94

Omg I remember this exact set and routine form when I saw them on the S club/S club Junior tour.

@poppydaffo

The quality of this video is amazing. Thanks so much. Its a brilliant song:) They are even more brilliant singers!!!!

@txx0xxt

she was depressed up until october or november of last year which caused her to be not really confident, which messed with her singing. watch a live video of her singing recently, and you'll see that she's gotten much better.
