Amazing
Westlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like a storm against the window
Follow me around just like a shadow
I'll swim a never ending ocean
Until you bring back your devotion

It's like I live a thousand lifetimes
Still looking for the one that feels right
See, moving on just isn't working
You lit the fire that I'm burning

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

I guess I'm holding on to my faith
A solid hope I'm heading your way
And crawling over is so tempting
We could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

I couldn't see it
I must have believed a lie
If I admit it would you let me make it right
Is it all gone
Oh no

We could be more than just
We could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking




Straight to the point of what I'm feeling
Oh we could be more than just amazing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Westlife's song "Amazing" convey a sense of longing and desperation for a love that once was. The singer compares the absence of this love to a storm, following him around like a shadow. He is willing to go to great lengths, even swimming an ocean, to bring back the devotion that was lost. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been trying to move on, but nothing seems to work since this one love feels so right. He has been protecting a lie out of pride, but realizes that this person he wants to be with is more than just amazing to him.


Through the lyrics, the singer conveys that he is holding on to his faith and solid hope that he will be able to reunite with this love. He is tempted to crawl back to this love and hopes that they could be more than just amazing. The singer admits that he may have believed a lie in the past, but he wants to make it right and start anew. The repetition of the line "And all I've been doing is protecting a lie for the sake of my pride" emphasizes the singer's self-awareness of his past mistakes but his hope for redemption.

[Verse 1]
You're like a storm against the window
Follow me 'round just like a shadow
I'll swim a never ending ocean
Until you bring back your devotion
It's like I live a thousand lifetimes
Still looking for the one that feels right

You lit the fire that I burn in

[Chorus]
And all I've been doing is protecting
A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
We could be more than just amazing

A lie for the sake of my pride
While all the others set me thinking
