Sub-Motive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you, you're everything to me.
I'm so, in love but broken hearted,
And why, is that so hard for me?
Well I know we're worlds apart,
I never thought you'd break my heart,
You, you're everything I wanted,
And why, is that so hard for me?
Is he, is he everything you wanted?
Oh I know, I know I'll never be.
Well I know we're worlds apart,
I never thought you'd break my heart,
Cause loving you's never been so hard for me.
Many days and nights go by,
But all I know is you'll never find,
Someone who loves you like I do
All I need is you
Well I know we're worlds apart,
I never thought you'd break my heart,
Cause loving you's never been so hard for me
Cause when you're with your boyfriend,
And always on the phone with him,
Loving you's never been so hard for me.
Many days and nights go by,
But all I know is you'll never find,
Someone who loves you like I do
All I need is you.
In Sub-Motive's song, 'Your Song', the lyrics express a sense of longing and heartbreak as the singer reveals that the person they love is everything they ever wanted, but they cannot have them. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer repeats that their love interest is everything they ever wanted and everything to them. However, the next line reveals the heartbreak the singer is currently experiencing, despite their love for this person. They are in love but broken-hearted, and they question why it's so hard for them.
The next stanza continues the same theme, with the singer expressing their surprise that their love interest has broken their heart since they never thought they would. Although it's difficult to love this person, the singer cannot help but feel the way they do. The chorus reveals the singer's insecurity and anxiety regarding their love interest. They wonder if the person they love has found someone else who is everything they wanted, implying that they are not enough for them. The second half of the chorus repeats the same sentiment but perhaps in a more defensive tone, stating that they know they'll never be everything to this person.
The bridge of the song expresses the singer's unwavering love for their love interest, despite their distance and heartbreak. They assert that no one will ever love this person as they do, and all they need is them. The final chorus continues to repeat the same sentiments from the previous chorus, with the addition of the singer's insecurity when their love interest is with their boyfriend or talking with them on the phone.
