This Love
SoCal VoCals Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love har taken it's toll on me

She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
The turn around and leave again

This love har taken it's toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love har taken it's toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love har taken it's toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before

And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "This Love" by SoCal VoCals describes a relationship that once existed between two people. The singer mentions that they were "so high" that they didn't recognize the "fire burning in her eyes" or the "chaos" that was controlling their mind. These lines suggest that the relationship was intense and passionate but also tumultuous. The woman eventually said goodbye and got on a plane, never to return again, but the singer still carries her in his heart.

In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that the love between them has taken a toll. The woman has said goodbye too many times before and her heart is breaking in front of him. Despite this, the singer refuses to let her go and says he won't say goodbye anymore. The repetition of the phrase "goodbye too many times before" is particularly poignant as it speaks to the cyclical nature of their relationship.

The second verse of the song speaks to the singer's efforts to keep the woman interested but how it was difficult to keep her satisfied. He played love like a game, pretending to feel the same way as her, only to have her turn around and leave again. The bridge of the song is more optimistic as it speaks to the singer wanting to repair the relationship. He promises to "fix these broken things" and "repair [her] broken wings" to make sure everything is alright. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the resolve to hold on to the relationship.

I was so high I did not recognize
I was under the influence and unable to see the obvious signs

The fire burning in her eyes
She was angry and there was intensity in her gaze

The chaos that controlled my mind
I was mentally distressed and overwhelmed

Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
She quietly bid farewell and departed on a flight

Never to return again
She had no intentions of coming back

But always in my heart
She will always hold a place in my emotions

This love har taken it's toll on me
This relationship has been mentally and emotionally demanding

She said Goodbye too many times before
She has ended things repeatedly in the past

And her heart is breaking in front of me
She is visibly upset and in pain

I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I can't bear to end things and cause her pain again

I tried my best to feed her appetite
I attempted to fulfill her desires
