Another Love

"Another Love" is a song by British singer-songwriter Tom Odell, from his debut extended play, Songs from Another Love (2012). It is also the third single from Odell's debut studio album Long Way Down (2013). The song was released in the United Kingdom as a digital download on 17 June 2013, peaking at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart; the song also charted in Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands. It became Odell's first top 10 hit in the UK after it was placed at number 10 in the single chart on 29 June 2013. The song is an expose of an individual’s turmoil; wishing to show their affection to their partner, yet weighed down by lingering feelings of distrust and sadness from a previous relationship. It is implied that the relationship suffers from this constant comparison through both the rhyming couplets of the song and the building atmosphere of the music.

[Verse 1] I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care But it's so cold and I don't know where I brought you daffodils in a pretty string But they won't flower like they did last spring And I wanna kiss you, make you feel all right I'm just so tired to share my nights I wanna cry and I wanna love But all my tears have been used up [Chorus] On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up, up [Verse 2] And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight But my hands been broken once, too many times So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude Words, they always win, but I know I'll lose And I'd sing a song that'd be just ours But I sang 'em all to another heart And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love But all my tears have been used up [Chorus] On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up, up [Bridge] (Oh, need a love, now, my heart is thinking of) I wanna sing a song that'd be just ours But I sang 'em all to another heart And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love But all my tears have been used up [Chorus] On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up On another love, another love All my tears have been used up, up
