One Direction – Olivia lyrics

One Direction – Olivia lyrics

[Verse 1: Niall]
Remember the day we were giving up when you told me I didn't give you enough
And all of your friends were saying I'll be leaving you
She's lying in bed with my t-shirt on, just thinking how I went about it wrong
This isn't the stain of a red wine, I'm bleeding love

[Pre-Chorus: Liam]
Please believe me, don't you see
The things you mean to me?
Oh I love you, I love you
I love, I love, I love Olivia

[Chorus: Harry]
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
I've been idolising the light in your eyes, Olivia
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
Don't let me go, don't let me go

[Verse 2: Liam]
Say what you're feeling and say it now cause I got the feeling you're walking out
And time is irrelevant when I've not been seeing ya
The consequences are falling now, there's something I'm having nightmares about
And these are the reasons I'm crying out to be with ya

[Pre-Chorus: Liam]
Please believe me, don't you see
The things you mean to me?
Oh I love you, I love you
I love, I love, I love Olivia

[Chorus: Harry]
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
I've been idolising the light in your eyes, Olivia
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
Don't let me go, don't let me go

[Bridge: Harry]
When you go and I'm alone, you live in my imagination
The summertime and butterflies
All belong to your creation
I love you, it's all I do, I love you

[Chorus: All]
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
I've been idolising the light in your eyes, Olivia
I live for you, I long for you, Olivia
Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go

back in their earlier days, both louis and harry posted “#olive” with no context at the same time. that’s what this reminds me of. olive is another way to say i love you without having to actually say the words. they sing “i live for you, i long for you olivia” which sounds similar to olive, and could be their way of saying that they love this person, but are too afraid to tell them. the lyric “you told me i didn’t give you enough” could be about the singer never quite being able to articulate that he loves the object of his affection, yet he does feel that way. the little bridge of “please believe me, don’t you see the things you mean to me? oh i love you i love you i love olivia” shows the singer pleading with this other individual (whether directly to them or just internally) and finally finding the words to say how they’re feeling, but it’s likely too late.
