Songs I Wrote
Jamie Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There′s only one thing i can see
In a small and crowded place
It's the only empty seat
Singin′ songs in the park and they're all about us
This girl sings allong from the back of the room
She knows all my words but she
Still ain't you, in all the songs i wrote
And all my verses about us to; courses i love you
I don′t wanna sing them now you′re gone
The tittle says "we had love"
Cards they remind me of every little
Thing that i have lost (everything i lost)
I could sing and wonder all again
I'll take all of your requests
′Cause i would rather just play all of them
Than be reminded that you left
Singin' songs in the park and they′re all about us
Got a ... in a ...,
Never been so tough to sing the
Songs i wrote (sing the songs i wrote)
This girl sings allong from the back of the room
She knows all my words but she
Still ain't you, in all the songs i wrote
(All the songs i wrote)
All my verses about us to; courses i love you
I don′t wanna sing them now you're gone
The tittle says "we had love"
Cards they remind me of every little thing that i have lost
If thousands of people sing my songs
And you're not there
Then every word would feel so wrong
Still i′m standing here
Singin′ verses about us to; courses i love you
I don't wanna sing them now you′re gone
And all my verses about us to; courses i love you
I don't wanna sing them now you′re gone (now you're gone)
The tittle says "we had love"
Cards they remind me of every little thing that i have lost
Everything i lost
The song "Songs I Wrote" by Jamie Grey is a reflection on the pain of lost love, and how it affects the singer's relationship to their own music. The lyrics describe the experience of performing in public, and how the sight of an empty seat can remind the singer of all that they have lost. The singer's music is deeply tied to their past relationship, and they struggle to perform songs that were written about their ex. Even though they have fans who sing along to their music, it is not the same as having their ex there to hear it. The singer is haunted by memories of their lost love, particularly when they sing about it.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with the singer repeating "all my verses about us to; courses I love you" over and over. They acknowledge that they don't want to sing these songs anymore, but can't seem to let go of the memories that they represent. The title of the song - "Songs I Wrote" - takes on a new meaning in this context. The songs are no longer just a creative expression, but a reminder of a past that the singer can't seem to escape.
Overall, "Songs I Wrote" is a powerful reflection on the connection between music and memory. It highlights the way that even the most creative and inspiring parts of our lives can be tainted by pain and heartbreak.
