When Somebody Loved Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by aryes 

Cover art for When Somebody Loved Me lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

This songs has made me cry many times. I think it has two meanings. One is that from the movie. The other is that of a mother who's daughter grows up and apart from her.

Those 2 meanings do sound like good interpretations.

Well the lyrics fit with your interpretation.

so the years went by I stayed the same but she began to drift away I was left alone

Since adult look the same as she's drift away (Grow up and have her own life) and the video saying that she's grow up and have her new life.

For me? I always imagine that she's brought my love return. Like a friends turn into lovers on the third verse!
