Shawn Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is only half as far as you and I both know, yeah
Coming up from above, a little something
And it's only because I don't ever wanna see you in love
But I know
That you've been coming off strong lately
And I can feel it there
Thinking possibly somehow, but not now
And it's been spinning around like a hurricane
And the sound of the thunder
That's beating my head to the ground
But I, I know
That I can't go back to this, to her
To what we used to have
It's black and burnt
My God, this is so sad
It will only make things worse
If we bring it back, woah, yeah, yeah
Now I mean, if you believe
That there is something still between you and me
Then baby, honestly, yeah
You're not the one for me
And I can't go back to this, to her
To what we used to have
It's black and burnt
My God, this is so sad
It will only make things worse
If we bring it back
If we bring it back, oh
If we bring it back, oh
If we bring it back
If we bring it back
In this song, Shawn Mendes expresses the difficulties of moving on from a past relationship. He acknowledges that taking things slow in a relationship can be tough when one person knows that there is more depth to their connection. Shawn seems to have been hit by the realization that his former partner has been trying to rekindle their relationship. He talks about how it's been spinning around like a hurricane in his mind, trying to figure out whether he should give it another shot.
However, he ultimately decides that going back to their past relationship will only make things worse. He describes their past relationship as "black and burnt," indicating that it was toxic and should not be repeated. Mendes is not one to deny the deep attraction he still has for his former partner, but he understands that they cannot bring their past relationship back. The song ends with Mendes acknowledging that he cannot return to what they used to have and that he must move on.
In essence, "Bring It Back" is a poignant and mature song about the struggles of trying to move on from past love. It encapsulates the push-pull of trying to let go of past relationships and balances it with the desire to reconnect. Mendes articulates this in a relatable and honest way, making the song one that many listeners can resonate with.

Lyrics:
Are we gonna make it?
Is this gonna hurt?
Oh, we can try to sedate it
But that never works
Yeah
I start to imagine a world where we don't collide
It's making me sick, but we'll heal and the sun will rise
If you tell me you're leaving, I'll make it easy
It'll be okay
If we can't stop the bleeding
We don't have to fix it, we don't have to stay
I will love you either way
Ooh-ooh, it'll be oh, be okay
Ooh-ooh
Oh, the future we dreamed of is fading to black
Oh
Oh, there's nothing more painful
Nothing more painful, oh-woah
I start to imagine a world where we don't collide
And it's making me sick, but we'll heal and the sun will rise
If you tell me you're leaving, I'll make it easy
It'll be okay (It'll be okay)
And if we can't stop the bleeding
We don't have to fix it, we don't have to stay (don't have to stay)
I will love you either way
Ooh-ooh, it'll be oh, be okay
Ooh-ooh
I will love you either way
It might be so sweet
It might be so bitter
I will love you either way
It might be so sweet
It might be so bitter (ooh-ooh)
Oh, if the future we've dreamed of is fading to black
I will love you either way
