1. Tom Odell’s Another Love Lyric Analysis By Harry McNeill & Josh Foley

2. 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 alright I'm just so tired to share my nights I wanna cry and I wanna love But 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 On another love, another love All my tears have been used up And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight But my hands been broken, one 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 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 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 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

3. Verse 1 Analysis 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 What he is saying here could be that he wants to show her that he loves her but he doesn’t feel like he can due to the previous relationship still effecting him. This is shown through the lyrics “but I don’t know where” the fact that he doesn’t know where to take her shows that he has already done everything before in his previous relationship and used up all his emotions too. He is also comparing the romantic gestures he is doing in his current one to his last relationships as shown by the lines “ I brought you daffodils in a pretty string, But they won't flower like they did last spring” this is about how he brought his partner flowers but they can’t compare to the daffodils he gave his last love.

4. Verse 2 Analysis And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright I'm just so tired to share my nights I wanna cry and I wanna love But all my tears have been used up “all my tears have been used up on another love” these lyrics back up what the whole theme of the song which is the fact that he has used up all his emotion on his previous relationship and he feels that he can’t love again due to the upset of ending his last relationship to a girl he clearly had strong feelings for.

5. Chorus Analysis 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 The chorus repeats the final line of verse 2 to show how important the other person was to Tom Odell and this can be seen as him reflecting on the time he spent with the previous partner, with the repetition of the lines representing him thinking about the time he spent with his last partner and all the good times they spent together

6. Verse 4 Analysis And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight But my hands been broken, one 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 if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight but my hands have been broken too many times” the fight represents his battle with love which he wants to give but he is still in pain from the other relationships. This is represented through the broken hands which would be a consequence of frequently fighting however his broken hands could also be another way of talking about a broken heart and his heart being broken ‘too many times’ for him to fall in love again.

7. Verse 5 Analysis 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 “and id sing a song that’d just be ours but I sang em all to another heart” these lyrics also go with the fact that he doesn’t feel like he can be in another relationship due to the effects from the last relationship. Also, he wants to sing his possible partner a love song but he can’t because he sang them to his previous other and used all the emotion in the song

8. Verse 6 Analysis 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 “I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love but my tears have been used up” these lyrics are also representing the fact that he wants to get into new relationships but he cant cause he is still recovering from the last one. Also he talks about wanting to fall in love but then follows it up with “ but all my tears have been used up” this backs up my previous point but it also shows that he feels that ever y relationships ends in sadness no matter what. Although he knows he is going to get hurt he still wants a relationship which shows that he feels that its worth it.
