I L U Lyrics

There are so many things
I wish I knew how to say
In a way that you'd understand
But I can't
So many times I've tried
Looking into your eyes for a sign
That maybe you feel the same
But you don't
I didn't realize
I'd lost so many nights
Just trying to lose the pain
And I was a fool to think
It would be easier to leave
Than to be left behind

I want you to know that
I Loved You
I want you to know that
I Loved You

Watching the day break
And fighting the urge to sleep
'Cause my dreams won't let this die
All I can see and hear
In the dark is you
And it's hard to breathe
'Cause all I feel when I do
Is this aching heart

I want you to know that
I Loved You
I want you to know that
I Loved You
I want you to know that
I Loved You
I want you to know that
I Loved You

Alley talked a little about this song (and also about Windstorm) when SVIIB played at Baeble music's Guest Apartment back in August. (It's a great performance, link to the video here: http://bit.ly/9jFkmG)

Anyway, she said (slightly paraphrased as I can't play the video on my phone and I'm typing from memory), "it's about having to let go because things have changed, things have evolved. You never stopped loving the person, but you just had to move on."

This song is going to climb up in popularity due to its greatness and I am the first to notice.

Hahaha. I agree :) I love S7B so freaking much it's unbelievable. And I just "discovered" them, so I'm on a YouTube marathon right now listening to all their gorgeous songs. Besides their voices being angelic, the lyrics really make you think (when you're not dancing).

We agree. High five.

So simple yet so powerfully deep. The lyrics are about sorrow and about looking back at a pass love and feeling that longing.

Cause my dreams won't let this die All I can see and hear in the dark is you...and it's hard to breath...Cause all I feel when I do is this aching heart.

These lyrics are said by someone who put their heart out there for someone. One's chest always feels heavy and always hurts when thinking of a past love.

This song is about UNREQUITED LOVE. It's about the unbearable pain one feels when they are in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way.

Song Meaning

I think it's about dying. Either natural or suicide... And the singer is telling someone they love goodbye. They always say "I loved you" not "I love you". And you don't say "I loved you" unless you're going somewhere. And judging by the sadness of the song... It sounds like someone who's really depressed saying goodbye to someone they loved.
