I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
[Verse 1]
So you crashed into the wall
You're cleaning up the broken glass
Thinking, "What the hell was that?" Yeah
In the movie of your life
You're the first to die
And the critics called it trash (Too bad)
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell you that you feel too much
Euphoria right down to the crush
It all breaks down, it always does
It all works out, it always does
And the shit they say in the songs you love
The greatest hits and the deepest cuts
It all breaks down, it always does
It all works out, it always does
[Chorus]
To love somebody
To hurt somebody
To lose somebody
Is to know you're only human, honey
To lovе somebody
To hurt somebody
To lose somеbody
Well, at least you got to love somebody
[Post-Chorus]
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
Well, at least you got to love somebody
[Verse 2]
You took a right hook to the jaw
So you go and brush your teeth
A little powder on your cheeks
And you feel a little better
And this blue and green ball
Keeps spinning to the beat
You gotta try and move your feet
Gotta be boxing clever
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell you that you feel too much
You bet it all on a summer crush
It all breaks down, it always does
It all works out, it always does
And you wear his T-shirt, you hate his guts
You read the handbook, you take the drugs
You said, "From here on out, it's us"
It always was, it always was
[Chorus]
To love somebody
To hurt somebody
To lose somebody
Is to know you're only human, honey
To love somebody
To hurt somebody
To lose somebody
Well, at least you got to love somebody
[Post-Chorus]
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
At least you got to love somebody
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell you that you feel too much (Na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
Euphoria right down to the crush (Na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
It all breaks down, it always does
It all works out, it always does
And the shit they say in the songs you love (Na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
The greatest hits and the deepest cuts (Na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
It all breaks down, it always does
It all works out, it always does
[Chorus]
To love somebody (To love you)
To hurt somebody (To hurt you)
To lose somebody (To lose you)
Is to know you're only human, honey (It's only human)
To love somebody (To love you)
To hurt somebody (To hurt you)
To lose somebody (To lose you)
Well, at least you got to love somebody
[Outro]
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I (To love you, to hurt you, to lose you)
Well, at least you got to love somebody (It's only human, honey)
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I (To love you, to hurt you, to lose you)
At least you got to love somebody
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I (To love you, to hurt you, to lose you)
I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I-I
Makna Lagu To Love Somebody - Holly Humberstone
Lagu ini ngebahas tentang jatuh, gagal, dan patah hati sebagai bagian normal dari hidup. Di verse awal, digambarin kayak lagi nabrak tembok dan harus bersihin pecahan kacanya sendiri. Rasanya malu, kecewa, bahkan kayak jadi karakter yang "mati duluan" di film hidup sendiri. Orang-orang bilang kamu terlalu baper atau terlalu dalam ngerasain sesuatu, tapi ya memang begitulah rasanya kalau lagi cinta.
Masuk ke chorus, pesannya jadi lebih hangat dan dewasa. Buat bisa cinta, pasti ada risiko buat terluka dan kehilangan. Tapi justru itu bukti kalau kita manusia. Lebih baik pernah ngerasain cinta walau akhirnya sakit, daripada nggak pernah ngerasain sama sekali. Ada penerimaan bahwa semua memang bisa hancur, tapi pada akhirnya juga bisa sembuh.
Di verse berikutnya, dia bangkit pelan-pelan. Walau habis kena "pukulan," hidup tetap jalan dan bumi tetap muter. Mau nggak mau harus berdiri lagi dan lanjut. Intinya, lagu ini kayak reminder kalau ngerasain semuanya secara intens itu bukan kelemahan. Cinta, luka, dan kehilangan itu satu paket, dan itu yang bikin hidup terasa nyata.
