I once knew a girl
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth
In the morning I fled
Left a note and it read
Someday you will be loved.
I cannot pretend that I felt any regret
Cause each broken heart will eventually mend
As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Someday you will be loved
You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved
You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And everytime tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved
You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved
Death Cab for Cutie
This is such a break up song, but I like it because it's hopeful. I heard it on my phone today and although I've heard it many times, it just sounded really pretty today. I wanted to share it on here and maybe, just maybe it offers some encouragement to one person. I know it's just lyrics, but hey sometimes that's all it takes.

Ill write you a poem, tell me what about :p
Wow, thank you for this. At 26 I am (not so patiently) waiting for my husband to show up. It's hard!! Needed to read this.
ReplyDeletei love DCFC, their lyrics are so poetic. i actually started listening to their music a couple of years ago because Josh mentioned them in a lot of interviews, so i got curious and checked them out.
ReplyDeletemusic-wise this song kinda reminds me of The House Of The Rising Sun. anyways, you're right, it is hopeful, it's not like most break-up songs, that are angry and bitter.
Jenna I really like these lyrics!!! At first I thought it was a poem but it does sound like it could be a song.... Now I want to hear the song!!!! It really isn't like most break up songs! I think that's why I like it so much! This post really made my day!!!!!!!! Thank you Jenna!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete...and the words echo through my head.
ReplyDeleteThe Ice is Getting Thinner is my favorite song, and I think that's a sweet breakup song because it's about both people realizing that the relationship doesn't work any more.
ReplyDeleteWow those lyrics really touch you when you first read them... Thanks heaps of blogging this - looking up the song right now!!

If you love this song, you should go and check out Eskobar - Someone New. They're a band from Sweden. I was just going through your blog, and after reading this post decided to listen to DCFC's Someday You Will Be Loved, and somehow it reminded me of Eskobar.
