Sent from heaven
Sent from heaven

Now you can wait your whole life wondering
When it's gonna come or where it's been
You may have got your heart broken
A few times in the past
It never last strong as it used to
It don't feel as good as it used to before
And all the things you used to say
Things you used to do, went right out the door

Ooh, no more, will you be the one
That's what you tell everyone around you
But you know they've heard it all before
What more can you say
When love won't let you, walk away (when love)
You can't help all your love (just can't help who you love)
And you find yourself giving it all away
When you think you're in love
Ooh, 'cause

I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
(Sent from above)
And there's a piece of me who believes when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)
(Ooh, 'cause)
I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
And there's a piece of me who believes when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)

Now you can wait your whole life tryna change
What the fear from what it's been
You may have put your whole life into a man
Loving what you thought it could've been
Notice when you change
And you don't feel as good as you used to before
And everything you used to say
Everything you used to do clear right out the door

Ooh, no more, will you be the one
That's what you tell everyone around you
But you know they've heard it all before
What more can you say
When love won't let you, walk away
And it can't help who it loves
And you find yourself giving it all away
When you think you're in love
'Cause I wanna be, hey, yeah

I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
(Sent from above, yeah)
And there's a piece of me who leaves when you're gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)
(I wanna be the one)
I wanna be the one who you believe
(Hey)
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
(Oh)
And there's a piece of me who leaves when you're gone
(Yeah)
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)

Now everybody say I wanna be the one you love
I wanna be the one you love (sent from heaven)
Everybody say I wanna be the one you trust
I wanna be the one you trust (sent from heaven)
Now everybody say I wanna be the one you need
I wanna be the one you need (sent from heaven)
Hey, everybody say I wanna be the one who
I wanna be the one (sent from heaven)
Sent from heaven

I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
(Hey, sent from above, yeah)
And there's a piece of me who believes when you gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)
(I wanna be the one)
I wanna be the one who you believe
(Oh)
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
(Hey)
And there's a piece of me who leaves when you're gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)

I wanna be the one who you believe
In your heart is sent from (sent from heaven)
And there's a piece of me who leaves when you're gone
Because you're sent from (sent from heaven)
I wanna be the one-

    its not a hard song to analyze if you been in love before.

    First part: if you have been in love with someone and you had a break up. the next person you date you are gonna be more careful and protect yourself emotionally so your feelings wont be hurt. thats why it doesnt feel like it used to before. And you dont live your life like you used to because your depressed and dont want to do things that made you happy.

    second part: basically your telling your friends how you feel about that person that you love and telling them you wont get caught up over someone like that ever again, but it happens again and again and they are tired of hearing your sob stories. You are telling yourself for what ever reason not to love them anymore, but you cant help it cause deep in your heart you are still in love with that person.

    chorus: you are basically pouring your heart out to them telling them to love you and that you love them.

    third part: she's basically spelling it out to you: "You may have put your whole life into a man Loving what you thought that could've been." but they dont feel the same way about you, so now your feelings are hurt.

    everthing else is a repeat.

    kinda hard song to analyse

    it sounds like this girls had bad relationships in the past hence the "heart broken a few times in the past" and shes sick and tired of getting hurt, and just wants to feel true love, love so strong that a piece of you leaves when ur not with them. i dont think its aimed at a specific guy, i think shes trying to piece together what she thinks love is and that she basically wants to feel these things.

    i think the first two lines means when girls are like when am i ever gonna meet mr right? and realistically, love suprises you when you least expect it.

    "dont feel as good as u used to" i think means youve been in and out of love so many times that being in relationships doesnt feel as good as (for example) your first love.

    BTW these lyrics are so wrong!! i wish i cud change em

    Actually when I first heard this song at the chorus "sent from heaven", I thought she sang "six foot seven". And I really really wondered what the songwriter would want to do with such a specific height. :-p

    When I know it, this song is sad but there's still some hope. I feel that the lyrics tone is similar to "Soulmate" from Natasha Bedingfield.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
