The Wanted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'll never say it too much
Maybe you did turn to get me
Maybe I'll never know what I've done
Now I'm lost in the distance
You look at me like a stranger
Cause how it looks right now to me
I could've shown you America
All the bright lights in the universe
We could have reached the highest heights
A different place, a different life
Remember that night underneath the stars
For a minute I thought the world was ours
All you had to do was show me love
Yeah, it's true you know, we're not perfect
There's a fire inside of me
It means I'll fight for the things that are worth it
If it makes me feel complete
'Cause I'm hitting rocks, and I'm taking shots
I'm prepared to lose everything I've got
Now I'm lost in the distance
You look at me like a stranger
'Cause how it looks right now to me
Nothing can save us
I could've shown you America
All the bright lights in the universe
We could've reached the highest heights
A different place, a different life
Remember that night the underneath the stars
For a minute I thought the world was ours
All you had to do was show me love
Show me love, love
Show me love, love
Show me love, love (show me, show me love)
Show me love, love (show me, show me love)
Show me love, love
Show me love, love (yeah)
I could've shown you America
All the bright lights in the universe
We could've reached the highest heights
A different place, a different life
Remember that night underneath the stars
For a minute I thought the world was ours
All you had to do was show me love
All you had to do was show me love
The song "Show Me Love" by The Wanted is a romantic ballad about missed chances and lost love. The lyrics describe a person who realizes too late that they are in love with someone who has already moved on. The first verse expresses regret for not saying "I love you" enough and for not understanding how the other person felt. The second verse shows the singer feeling lost and disconnected from the person they love, who now looks at them like a stranger. The chorus repeats the sentiment that if only the other person had shown love, they could have had a different life together.
The bridge of the song reveals the singer's determination to fight for what is important to them, even if it means facing difficult obstacles. The final chorus is a plea for the other person to show love and give the relationship another chance. The melody of the song is emotional and heartfelt, with vocal harmonies and a soaring chorus that builds to a powerful climax.

You should've known I love you
I wish you knew that I love you
But I'll never say it too much
I won't say it too often, as it might be overwhelming
Maybe you did turn to get me
Maybe you showed interest to me
Maybe I'll never know what I've done
Maybe I'll never understand what I did wrong
Now I'm lost in the distance
Now we are far apart from each other
You look at me like a stranger
You seem to look at me with unfamiliarity
Cause how it looks right now to me
This is how it appears to me
If you're scared of the danger
If you're afraid of the potential harm
I could've shown you America
I could've taken you anywhere
All the bright lights in the universe
I could've shown you all the wonderful things
We could have reached the highest heights
We could've accomplished incredible things
A different place, a different life
We could've had a completely different life
Remember that night underneath the stars
Remember that one special moment we shared
For a minute I thought the world was ours
For a brief moment, it felt like we had everything
All you had to do was show me love
All I needed from you was to love me back
Yeah, it's true you know, we're not perfect
We both know we have our flaws
There's a fire inside of me
I have a burning passion
It means I'll fight for the things that are worth it
I'm prepared to fight for what's important to me
If it makes me feel complete
If it gives me a sense of fulfillment
'Cause I'm hitting rocks, and I'm taking shots
I'm facing challenges and taking risks
I'm prepared to lose everything I've got
I'm willing to risk everything I have
Nothing can save us
We are beyond saving
Show me love, love
Love me, love
Show me love, love (show me, show me love)
Love me, love (show me, love)
Show me love, love (yeah)
Love me, love (yes)
All you had to do was show me love
All I needed from you was to love me back

The Harsh Truth OUT THERE
@honeymoonavenuexx All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power.
Sinners prayers GOD hears not.
Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers.
Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155
“Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.”
(Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain).
Selena Lisbeth
