Love Don't Live Here Anymore
Seal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
When you lived inside of me
There was nothin' I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
You changed that right away, baby
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before you went away
Found another place to stay, another home
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy, babe
Love don't live here anymore
In the windmills of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness of inside me
Why'd you have to go away?
Don't you know I need you so I miss your love
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy, babe
Love don't live here anymore
No, no, no
You abandoned me
Love don't live here, live here, no, no
Just a vacancy, babe
Love no more
Seal's Love Don't Live Here Anymore is a ballad about losing love and being left with a sense of emptiness. The opening verse talks about the singer's abandonment, which has left him feeling lonely and like love has left his life. He repeats the song's title throughout the lyrics to emphasize the central theme of love being gone.
The second verse harks back to a time when the relationship was loving and secure. The singer reflects on how his partner's presence made everything feel right and how anything was possible. However, the partner left, changing everything, which is repeated in the chorus; emphasizing the absence of love, which has turned into a vacancy with only memories to sustain the singer's heart.
The final verse is the most poignant, as the singer alludes to the loneliness he feels. His heartbreak and sense of loss have become so evident that everyone "can see the loneliness inside me." The song begins with a cold start and progresses into an excellent instrumental interlude, underlining the singer's pain and loneliness.

You abandoned me
You left me all alone
Love don't live here anymore
There is no love left in this place since you left me
Just a vacancy
It's empty here now without you
Love don't live here anymore
Love has left this place and won't come back
When you lived inside of me
When you were still a part of my life
There was nothin' I could conceive
I couldn't imagine anything you wouldn't do for me
That you wouldn't do for me
I trusted you completely
Trouble seemed so far away
I felt safe and secure with you by my side
You changed that right away, baby
But then you left me and everything changed
Love don't live here anymore
Love has left this place and won't come back
Just emptiness and memories
Now all that's left is a void and memories of what we had
Of what we had before you went away
Of the love we shared before you left me
Found another place to stay, another home
You found someone else and left me behind
In the windmills of my eyes
Through my tears
Everyone can see the loneliness of inside me
Everyone can see how lonely I am without you
Why'd you have to go away?
I can't understand why you had to leave me
Don't you know I need you so I miss your love
I need you and miss your love so much
No, no, no
It's not true, I don't believe it
Love don't live here, live here, no, no
Love is gone and won't come back
Just a vacancy, babe
This place is empty without you
Love no more
Love is gone and won't come back
