Back from Your Love
Sarah Connor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tears are falling faster
Than I hold them back
It's only morning, I've got the whole day
To try and change that

I remember "Forever" was you're every other word
And now we're not together
We can be apart forever and there's nothing
I can change about that

Thought you were my savior
But you only tried to save yourself
Left me underwater now I'm left
To only help myself

Swimming through the feelings that
For you had lost their meaning
And there's nothing I can do about that
And now you're with whoever you can lie about forever
'Cause I already know about that

I'm back from your love not about
To rebound this girl's gonna turnaround
No more of your love a little more
A wiser now I'm gonna rise above

The little girl who believed
Whose little heart was deceived
Tears I already shed dishonest words
Were misled forever's that you always said

How can I reach closure
When you never had an open heart
It was never over
Tell me did it ever really start?

Love that is a token always ends up getting broken
And you must have always known about that
And now you're with whoever and you know it's not forever
And I already knew about that

I'm back from your love not about
To rebound this girl's gonna turnaround
No more of your love a little more
A wiser now I'm gonna rise above

The little girl who believed
Whose little heart was deceived
Tears I already shed dishonest words
Were misled forever's that you always said

You wouldn't recognize a romance
If it kissed you on the lips
You wouldn't recognize a love song
If you didn't have the script

You wouldn't recognize a romance
If it kissed you on the lips
You wouldn't fall over love even
If you slipped

I'm back from your love not about
To rebound this girl's gonna turnaround
No more of your love a little more
A wiser now I'm gonna rise above

The little girl who believed whose
Little heart was deceived




Tears I already shed dishonest words
Were misled forever's that you always said

Overall Meaning

The song Back from Your Love by Sarah Connor is a powerful narrative of heartbreak and the journey of healing after a failed relationship. In the opening lines, the singer expresses her deep sorrow and how tears flow uncontrollably because of her emotional state. The morning has just started and she has the whole day ahead of her, but it seems like there is no way to change how she feels. The singer remembers how the word “forever” was an everyday term for her ex-lover. However, now they are no longer together, and they can only be apart forever. She cannot change this fact and must move on.


The singer then reflects on how she believed her former lover to be her savior, but in reality, they only cared about saving themselves. Her ex left her to feel helpless in her situation. She has had to work through her feelings and accept that they had lost their meaning. Now, she accepts that she cannot change the past and that her ex is with someone new, whom they can lie about forever. However, the singer has already come to know about it. She declares that she has risen above and is ready to live life on her own terms without her ex.


The last verse of the song talks about how the singer's ex would not recognize romance even if it were right in front of them. The person would not see the beauty in a love song and would not know what it feels to be in love. The song ends with the singer using a series of echoes of the earlier chorus as well as bittersweet harmonies.
