My Love
Sia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release

You gave it all
You gave into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us

You give thoughtfully, loved me faithfully
You taught me honor, you did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me my love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you

You took my hand and added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release

I know in peace you go
I won't relieve this love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home





My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, I'll be with you

Overall Meaning

The song starts with the lyrics "My love, leave yourself behind, beat inside me, leave you blind." This line suggests that the singer has carried her loved one's love with her, even after they have left. The next line, "My love, you have found peace, you were searching for release" suggests that her loved one was struggling with something in life and they have found peace now.


In the chorus, the singer acknowledges all that her loved one has done for her, "You gave it all, you gave into the call, you took a chance and, you took a fall for us." She goes on to express how her loved one has affected her life in a positive way, "You gave me all, you gave all you had and now I am home."

To whomever is reading this.

You have come so far despite your struggles. I am so proud of you.

If you have lost someone, always know that your loved one is never far from you. They are always there to listen and wait until you see them again.

Most importantly, please never give up. You are not alone. I am always here and always praying for you.

I love you all. Take care

@likeabunnie

Any Nany haha I definately relate!

My rescue dogs always love me and are predictable, and comforting. I'm very thankful for them. I feel like being a "dog lady" is seen as a bad thing, but it's also nice and it works for me, so that's all that matters, right?

I'm greatful to also have a few very genuine, true, friends, as well.

Love doesn't have to be the romantic kind. The love of friendship and siblings is different, but not less than, the love that can come from a true love romantically.

I realized recently that, while I still hope to someday find, "the one", that I've got several people in my life who will be in life until death separates us.

I'm going to have children someday regardless, and due to the significant chance of me passing on a painful genetic disorder, I'm not going to have biological children, but I've always wished to adopt and/or foster children, and as I've agreed, learned about my disorder, and had increasingly deteriorating health, it's made comforted me to know that I will someday become a mother as I've always wished, in whatever way life ends up leading me.

Family is whoever (and however) you make it. Love is what matters (and those of us with furry friends certainly know love!) ;)

Sia wrote this song about who she said was the love of her life. He suddenly died in 1997, before they could get married, a taxi crushed his head while he was in London. Sia was in Thailand. They had an argument the week before but they were in love. He left her before she could talk to him again after that argument. After receiving the news she fell into depression, she once said that abandoned dogs in Thailand comforted her as she cried and that's why she's now an animalist and activist. Anyway, some friends convinced her to return to London and here she began to devote herself a lot more to music, so she became what she is now. Unfortunately, however, she struggled with depression, alcoholism and drug addiction for more than a decade. She attempted suicide, the night she wrote "Breathe Me" she tried to take 22 painkillers pills and drank an entire bottle of vodka. A friend of hers called her that night to ask her something and jokingly and acting funny, cause he knew something wrong was going on, he saved her. Around 2010/2011 she attempted suicide again and after that she did a 12-step detox program and wrote "Jesus Wept" about it. Now, despite physical problems and serious illnesses, she has a family, she adopted two beautiful boys and she is finally happy.
P.s. Celine Dion made a cover of this song in honor of her late husband shortly after he passed.
