I'm yours
Script Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap your thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

You healed these scars over time
Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went weak and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such




I know I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Yours" by The Script is about an unwavering commitment to love and the power that comes from the deep understanding of someone who loves you for who you are. The opening lines of the song set the stage for vulnerability and tenderness. When the singer sings, "You touch these tired eyes of mine, and map my face out line by line, and somehow growing old feels fine," he's describing the intimacy he feels with his lover. The person he's singing to knows him so well, he can feel comfortable growing old with them. The second verse takes a more self-reflective tone. The singer admits that he may not have the softest touch or say the most eloquent words, but he promises that he is hers. Even when he doesn't feel like he's enough, his lover's acceptance of him reminds him that he is loved and valued. The bridge of the song touches upon the idea of the person he's singing to being his guardian angel. When he received the news that his best friend died, he was devastated, but his lover was there to console him. She saw him at one of his most vulnerable moments but still sees him as a soldier, likely a metaphor for his inner strength despite his weaknesses.


Line by Line Meaning

You touch these tired eyes of mine
You bring comfort to my exhausted soul


And map my face out line by line
You take the time to observe and understand every detail of my face


And somehow growing old feels fine
Knowing that you will be by my side makes the idea of aging less daunting


I listen close for I'm not smart
I pay attention because I am not naturally intelligent


You wrap your thoughts in works of art
You express your ideas in a beautiful and meaningful way


And they're hanging on the walls of my heart
Your words and ideas have made a permanent impression on my heart


I may not have the softest touch
I may not be the most affectionate


I may not say the words as such
I may not always express my feelings eloquently


And though I may not look like much
I may not appear to be impressive


I'm yours
I belong to you


And though my edges may be rough
I may have flaws or imperfections


And never feel I'm quite enough
I sometimes doubt if I am deserving of your love


It may not seem like very much
My actions may not appear significant


But I'm yours
But I am completely devoted to you


You healed these scars over time
You have helped mend my emotional wounds


Embraced my soul
You have accepted and loved every part of me


You loved my mind
You appreciate and respect my thoughts and ideas


You're the only angel in my life
You are a source of unconditional love and support in my life


The day news came my best friend died
The day I received news of my best friend's passing


My knees went weak and you saw me cry
I broke down emotionally and you comforted me


Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes
You still see me as strong and steadfast


I know I don't fit in that much
I am aware that I may not belong or fit in
