This Love
The 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 SoCal VoCals’ song ‘This Love’ tells the story of a man who was blinded by his own self-destructive ways and did not realize the love that he had in front of him until it was too late. The first verse illustrates the lack of attention that the man paid to his lover, so much so that he did not even recognize the fire burning in her eyes. His mind was consumed by chaos and he did not fully appreciate her until she got on a plane and never returned. However, she held a special place in his heart even after she departed.

The chorus of ‘This Love’ indicates that the man has been repeatedly hurt by his lover’s inability to commit to him. He has suffered the heartbreak of her saying goodbye too many times before, making it difficult for him to let her go one final time. But he does not want to say goodbye anymore because he still loves her.

The final verse takes on a more hopeful and romantic tone as the man promises to fix what is broken and repair the woman’s broken wings. He wants to make everything alright and to satisfy her in every way possible. He knows that is what she wants him to do and it is clear that he is willing to do whatever it takes to make their relationship work.

I was so high I did not recognize
I was not myself and did not notice

The fire burning in her eyes
The intensity of her emotions

The chaos that controlled my mind
My lack of control due to emotional turmoil

Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
She left me without a proper farewell

Never to return again
She left for good

But always in my heart
I will always love her

This love har taken it's toll on me
This relationship has been difficult for me

She said Goodbye too many times before
She has ended our relationship multiple times

And her heart is breaking in front of me
I can see the pain I have caused her

I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I will not end things with her even if it hurts me

I tried my best to feed her appetite
I did everything I could to make her happy
