Lyrics
It's been a good old while
Expressing the passage of a considerable amount of time.
I feel like I've taken a lifetime to get here
Feeling that a significant lifetime has been invested to reach the current point.
Keeping love at length when it was near
Keeping love at a distance even when it was close.
Facing the world alone
Facing life's challenges and experiences alone.
Thinking there were things that others shouldn't know
Believing there are aspects of one's life that others shouldn't be aware of.
Talking only highs when I was low
Conveying a facade of positivity when feeling low.
And though I've lost
Acknowledging experiences of loss.
Had my lines crossed
Having one's paths or intentions misunderstood.
It's all because
Recognizing that experiences are a result of a search for love.
I've been looking for love
Reiteration of the ongoing quest for love.
I've been looking for love
-I've been looking for love
-In all the wrong places
Emphasizing that the search for love has been misguided.
I've been looking for love
-I've been looking for love
-In all the wrong places
-I spent a good old while
Reflecting on the time spent building emotional resilience.
Building my big heart up only just to break
Building a strong emotional foundation only to experience heartbreak.
The more it ached, the more I made mistakes
Understanding that mistakes were made as the heart endured pain.
But I can see it now
Realizing that heartbreak can lead to a fresh start.
That in the end the painful breaking of the heart
Acknowledging the transformative power of heartbreak.
Can bring about a brand new start
Recognizing the potential for new beginnings after heartbreak.
Oh I have lost
Expressing experiences of loss.
Had my lines crossed
Having intentions or paths misunderstood in the process of searching for love.
But its because
Clarifying that experiences are a result of the ongoing quest for love.
I've been looking for love
Reiteration of the continuous search for love.
I've been looking for love
-I've been looking for love
-In all the wrong places
Emphasizing the misguided nature of the search for love.
I've been looking for love
-I've been looking for love
-In all the wrong places
-I've lived and learnt
Expressing the process of living and learning from experiences.
Watched the fire as it burned
Observing challenges and difficulties as they unfold.
Standing here on my own
Standing alone but not feeling lonely.
But I'm not alone and
Emphasizing the independence and self-awareness.
I feel set free
Feeling liberated and content with oneself.
Loving me for me
Embracing self-love as a positive state of being.
And thats a good way to be wouldn't you agree
Reflecting on the benefits of self-acceptance.
The past won't bring me down
Acknowledging that the past does not have a negative impact.
This time I'm in control
Asserting control over one's life and experiences.
No it won't bring me down
Reaffirming resilience against the negative influence of the past.
Maybe I'll find the one
Expressing the possibility of finding love in the future.
But for now I'm the one
Acknowledging self-worth and independence for the present.
And it won't bring me, down
Reiterating the resilience against negative influences.
I've been looking for love
Continuing the quest for love despite past challenges.
I've been looking for love
-I've been looking for love
-In all the wrong places
Re-emphasizing the misguided nature of the ongoing search for love.
I've been looking for love
-I've been looking for love
-In all the wrong places
-I've been looking for love
Concluding the acknowledgment of searching for love in the wrong places.
I've been looking for love
-In all of the wrong places
