I'll Be Lyrics
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you said
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you said
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life

I like this song. It was our song.. the guy I first "loved" and I miss being with him. He moved to Texas so I don't see him anymore. So we broke up. Every time i hear this song I start to cry, and its weird cuze the first week he was gone I listened to this song 50 times a day. My friend had to take my cd away cuze it hurt me to listen to it.
"Rain falls angry on the tin roof, As we lie awake in my bed You're my survival, you're my living proof My love is alive and not dead" Crei que lo perdir hasta que llegastes tu en mi vida otra vez, Mija. bm&s
ive read a lot of these comments and i had to make an account to specify the meaning of the song. Edwin himself said in an interview it was a song he had written for a past girlfriend whos dream was to make it big in the Hollywood industry, and broke up with him to try and do so. ie; note "ill be the greatest fan of your life", saying where ever she ends up he'll be her greatest fan. so yes this is a break up song.
I love and hate this song. I love it because its just a beautiful song and I'd like to think I'd say "I'll Be" to a girl some day. I hate it because it always reminds me of my ex-girlfriend and thats just something I could do without right now. Too many painful memories go along witht that.
I have a super stupid question. What does this song mean if your ex sends it to you and it's been 10 years since you dated and you are both still friendly (chats and emails a few times a year) and you are both happily married with kids? This is a person I dated for years and he broke up with me, broke my heart and married someone else. (Eventually I realized my life would be miserable with him because we are completely different.)

ethelmae: it means that there is potential for revival of a love. it means there is potential for destruction of families. Both in one.

ethelmae: perhaps it means that he wants you to know that he will always be there for you no matter how little or how much you talk. he may be saying he loves you but as a sister or best friend. if he was trying to get you back he probably would have picked a different song, layla by eric clapton perhaps, or something like that.

Every time I hear this song, I flash back to about 8 months ago about. Me and my boyfriend, just 2 weeks into our relationship, were at his brother's house alone. We'd made love for the first time together the night before. He had this CD and put it in the stereo and sang it to me. It fit the moment and him with all he's been through before. Ahh...good memories....
I love this song so much. Its sunch a great song and it means so much to me. It reminds me of my girlfriend and how much i love her and that she means the world to me.
I love this song. Though it's a love song sang buy a guy (and I'm a chica) it reminds me of an old friend. We haven't spoken in years but everytime I hear this song it makes me wanna call him up.
ahh this song is awesome. the words are great, but i love the guy's voice so much. its one of those songs that when you hear it you get chills... those songs are the best. i guess thats how i know that i really like a song~
This is such a beautiful song... if you really listen to the words and know them by heart, you can sort of daydream to this song... like you're slow dancing, or walking, or cuddling, with the love of your life! It makes me feel just so... content :)
This is a VERY beautiful song. It has been my favorite song since the first day I heard it. Edwin makes beautiful music.
