If I Love Again
Si Zentner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I often wonder why he came to me
Brought such a flame to me

And let it die
And if another love should find my heart
It will remind my heart of your goodbye

With every new love you
Will come back to me
In others eyes, its you I see
If I love again
Though its someone new

If I love again
It'll still be you
In someone else's firm embrace
I'll close my eyes but see your face

If I love again
I'll find other charms
But I'll make believe, you are in my arms
And though my lips whisper

"I love you"
My heart will not be true




I'll be loving
Every time I love again

Line by Line Meaning

I often wonder why he came to me
I am curious why this person approached and chose me as a love interest


Brought such a flame to me
This person stirred and ignited passion within me


And let it die
The flame of passion was not sustained and eventually faded away


And if another love should find my heart
In the event I fall in love again


It will remind my heart of your goodbye
I will be reminded of the pain of your departure


With every new love you
In every new person I love


Will come back to me
I will be reminded of you


In others eyes, its you I see
I will envision you in the eyes of my new love interest


If I love again
If I fall in love with someone new


Though its someone new
Even though it is with a new person


It'll still be you
You will still be on my mind


In someone else's firm embrace
While being held by someone else


I'll close my eyes but see your face
I will imagine your face instead of the person I am with


I'll find other charms
I will discover new desirable qualities in my new love interest


But I'll make believe, you are in my arms
However, I will pretend that I am holding and embracing you


And though my lips whisper
Even though I say


"I love you"
"I love you"


My heart will not be true
My heart's loyalty will not be with my current love interest


I'll be loving
I will still hold love for you


Every time I love again
Every time I fall in love again
