The Day You Came
S Club 8 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You Took me up, Drew Me In
Like a moth to your flame
Put your jinx in a deadly kiss
Your body locked me down in chains

Didn't read the danger signs
Til you crept into my mind
Made me believe you were so in love
I was mesmerized

Fell down to earth now baby
I had my wake up call
You're not a high I can't get off

Too little to Late Girl
Didn't know what you had till it's gone (Don't Tell me your sorry now)
Too little to Late Girl
Can't get back what's already lost
Now Your Alone

I still see your reflection in
A corner of my head
You're the tainted mirror Image
That my heart has to reject

So I've gotta keep my distance
When you tell me you can change
You can't burn me with
The heat of your love
'cause I've put it in the shade

Nothing you can do can phase me
Since I got my wake up call
You can't do your damage like before

Too little to Late Girl
Didn't know what you had till it's gone (Don't Tell me your sorry now)
Too little to Late Girl
Can't get back what's already lost
Now Your Alone

Can't turn back the clock
Can't make momentum stop
And every time I look at you and hesitate
I get a trigger in my mind
That makes me rewind
And remember how you blew my heart away

Too little to Late Girl
Didn't know what you had till it's gone, So gone
Too little to Late Girl
Can't get back what's already lost

Too little to Late Girl
Didn't know what you had till it's gone (Don't Tell me your sorry now)
Too little to Late Girl
Can't get back what's already lost
Now Your Alone

Too little to Late Girl
Didn't know what you had till it's gone (Don't Tell me your sorry now)
Too little to Late Girl




Can't get back what's already lost
Now Your Alone

Line by Line Meaning

You Took me up, Drew Me In Like a moth to your flame

Put your jinx in a deadly kiss Your body locked me down in chains
You put a spell on me with your kiss, and I felt trapped by your hold on me.


Didn't read the danger signs Til you crept into my mind Made me believe you were so in love I was mesmerized
I didn't recognize the warning signals until it was too late. You made me think you were deeply in love with me, and I was spellbound by your words and actions.


Fell down to earth now baby I had my wake up call You're not a high I can't get off
I came back to reality and understood the situation. You didn't bring me lasting happiness, and I can move on with my life without you.


Too little to Late Girl Didn't know what you had till it's gone (Don't Tell me your sorry now) Too little to Late Girl Can't get back what's already lost Now Your Alone
You realized too late what you had with me, and you can't make up for what you lost. Now, you're by yourself and it's too late for us.


I still see your reflection in A corner of my head You're the tainted mirror Image That my heart has to reject
I still remember you, but I've come to recognize that you're not someone I should be involved with. You're like a distorted image in a broken mirror, and I have to resist any temptation to be with you.


So I've gotta keep my distance When you tell me you can change You can't burn me with The heat of your love 'cause I've put it in the shade
I need to keep away from you, even if you say you've changed. Your love can't affect me anymore because I've stepped away from it.


Nothing you can do can phase me Since I got my wake up call You can't do your damage like before
You can't impact me anymore since I've realized the truth about our relationship. Your harmful ways won't work on me any longer.


Can't turn back the clock Can't make momentum stop And every time I look at you and hesitate I get a trigger in my mind That makes me rewind And remember how you blew my heart away
We can't change the past, and I can't stop the memories of our relationship from resurfacing when I see you. I'm reminded of how you hurt me emotionally.
