James TW - When You Love Someone Lyrics






Come home early after class
Don't be hanging 'round the back
Of the schoolyard
I've been called up by your teacher
She said she can't even reach you
'cause you're so far

You've been talking with your fists
We didn't raise you up like this
Now did we?
There've been changes in this house
Things that you don't know about
In this family

It don't make sense, but nevertheless
You gotta believe us, it's all for the best
It don't make sense
The way things go
Son you should know

Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes two homes are better than one
Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone

There ain't no one here to blame
And nothing's going to change
With your old friends
Your room will stay the same
'Cause you'll only be away
On the weekends

It don't make sense, but nevertheless
You gotta believe us, it's all for the best
It don't make sense
It don't add up
But we'll always love you no matter what

Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes two homes are better than one
Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone
When you love someone

Come home early after class
Don't be hanging around the back
Of the schoolyard
And if we're crying on the couch
Don't let it freak you out
It's just been so hard

Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes the best intentions just ain't enough
Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone

  1. R.... K....

    Dude, my music teacher gives us a flute sheet of this song i don't know how can I react because i hate this song when I play it, but now that I heard it, i freaking love it hahah

  2. J.... C....

    Song for my son n daughter when they’ve grown up

  3. E.... L....

    I’m just seeing this video, I relate to this video on a very very personal level. I was little when my parents divorced but I remember every bit of it. I’m one of the very few many to have their parents get back together. But I still went through all this. It was one of the hardest things for a child to go through. I’ll never forget running after my mom when she drove away, I’ll never forget huddling next to my sister as we listen to our parents fight in the garage. I’ll never ever forget it, I wish I could but I can’t. Things do get better tho❤️ I’m here for anyone who needs help❤️❤️

  4. S.... d....

    Two Christmases and two birthdays are not better then one😞

  5. c.... k....

    Ugh okay I’m gonna rant about my life ig . So my parents went separate ways since I was 6 months old and ya I’ve been going back and forth for years and things were fine when I was little now it’s just crazy since I’m 12 now my family just doesn’t like the other and it’s hard and I wanna be with my dad and I asked my mom that and she said no then grounded me and my dad wanted to take my mom to court and ask to keep me and my mom never knew and he was scared to do it so I’m with my mom now things are fine but Christmas is coming up and I still don’t switch holidays (you’ll get it if your parents aren’t together it’s we’re your trade off every holiday) but Ming don’t my mom won’t let me but this year I get to see them during the night and at least I get that 🥺💔😕

  6. A.... G....

    Who as kids a few days before Christmas would be sat there nearly crying begging santa for your parents to get back together. Hoping for that miracle. Its hard for anybody to go through it, it's so hard 😢

  7. C.... 2....

    I don’t know what happened with my parents they got divorced when I was 11 weeks old I still don’t know and I’m 14

  8. V.... L....

    My mom never understood my pain.. I don’t really think my dad did either.

  9. c.... b....

    this song means so much to me

  11. B.... B....

    I come from a broken home and I cried

  12. A.... P....

    My parents divorced when I was 7 years old and I know it was for the best but having one of my earliest memories being the cops coming over to my house makes me think twice. I remember my dad sobbing on the couch with a police man talking to him, so I go over to my mom and tell her that he’s crying and she straight up says, “Good. He should be.” To this day that is the only time I have ever seen my dad cry.

  13. M.... M....

    Who else just started crying

  14. k.... k....

    This song reminds me of my child hood best friend she was getting bullied then her parents got divorced and then she took her life , every time i hear this song I burst out crying

  15. B.... f....

    Accidentally came across this but im not complaining

  16. S.... C....

    my parents are split and i can relate

  17. �.... �....

    I just wnt to thank you for the song and form exerience the sentens:"sometimes two homes are better tha one" is reslly true

  18. t.... b....

    whose still relating end of 2019?

  19. H.... D....

    Going through this right now and It hurts that out of everybody I feel I've let my ten month daughter down. But now all I strive for is to be there for her and to be the best dad I can possibly be.

  20. J.... V....

    I have been listening to this song for a while and This song is to true but the last part didn't happen it's been 6 years and when people say yeah I can relate because my mom went on a work job to travel for 5 weeks In my head I'm saying bro try 6 years divorce sucks 😭😭😭😭😭

  21. D.... 2....

    I never knew my parents to be married and this song just makes me cry because it relates to when I’d ask my mum why daddy had to take flights to see us. But the line that hurts the most is the one we’re ‘your room won’t change because you’ll visit on the weekends. I’m crying so hard because that is my life. 😭😭

  22. A.... b....

    I CRIED, JUST THAT.

  23. I.... M....

    Am I the only one waiting for Boys & Girls MV

  24. M.... C....

    this is literally the most beautiful song, not just the music but the lyrics and message behind it, it made me cry every time even though my parents are together and happy

  25. M.... B....

    We had to listen to this in class (I cried even though I haven’t gone through this because I am such a baby but it’s so sad and touching)

  26. A.... L....

    I felt this. My parents got divorced a couple of months ago and I had to hear them argue all the time. The hardest part was when I had to choose who I wanted to live with though, I didn’t talk, eat or do anything for weeks after that.

  27. J.... B....

    This song still gets me every time I hear it 😣

  28. N.... B....

    used to listen to this all the time and tonight my parents told us they’re separating. never would’ve thought i’d be here relating on a personal level.

    N.... B....

    Girl I feel u

    N.... B....

    Sorry to hear that :p

    N.... B....

    My parents split up 6 years a go and I am 10 years old

  29. J.... B....

    ive never heard this until today 💔

  30. H.... ....

    The worst part about this litterally 3 months after this song released My parents divorced and My Dad moved to Africa(not related to the song)

  31. k.... R....

    its hard to have parents tthat split but this kinda explains some of it i like this song though

  32. P.... W....

    This is a really sad song my dad died when i was a baby and i was never able to meet him but all 9 of my siblings did and because my dad died 4 of my siblings don't know i exist and don't visit my mum or other siblings its sad really

  33. N.... ....

    Literally 2:13 to 2:23 happened for me, the only difference is that I didn't run, and I didn't put myself in the middle of the street to watch my dad go, I just stood in the door, I watch him go, he look at me through the mirrow, I dont know how to describe his face, I didnt cry, I wasn't sad, my sister were crying, doing exactly the same on the song, but I just try to console my sister, at the end I wasn't sad because inside I was angry, because I though "I wont cry for someone who doesn't want me, doesn't want to be here" at the age of 8....

    And at the same time I stop crying because for me that was for weak people, I kept myself in that way until 13, there was too much hate in my heart to keep holding, since the age of 8 it has been a long way to be the person I am today, but still I have a little bit of pain from my dad and now Im 23. But I love him

  34. K.... B....

    November going on December 2019... where’d the time go 😕

  35. T.... L....

    Most people that listen to this are going through a similar if not currently going through this situation. Im one of them and my god ive never felt pain until now

  36. F.... S....

    Oh shit that hit too close to home..

  37. M.... O....

    Omg o tried so hard not to cry in front of my mom while I was listening to this

  38. J.... S....

    my parents are talking about getting divorced it is pretty scary

  39. E.... D....

    My parents divorced nine days after my 7th birthday. This was posted on my tenth. I only heard about it today, crying in my room because it still hurts and I don’t want to be here anymore. My mom and stepdad are fighting, and it just hurts more and more everyday. And the fact this is in the perspective of an older brother to a younger sister.... especially when he looks around 12-14 and the sister looks around 6-8.... that was us. My brother was 12, I was 7. He had to explain it to me later that night.

  40. L.... M....

    This song literally made me cry! I have never related more to anything! Even though it is some years old it will always mean something important to someone!

  41. R.... R....

    Can't get over it. But it's not important to is it? This song is way too relatable rn.

  42. J.... ....

    this hit me on a personal level

  43. B.... T....

    so I found this on accident a couple days ago and then my English teacher is like choose five songs that describe this song and I was like leeeees gooooooooooo

  44. z.... ....

    Idk what love is cause my parents :((

  45. S.... L....

    i love this song❤️ i hope people don’t take advantage of their parents being together.

  46. J.... K....

    hahaha your parents divorced

  47. E.... l....

    This is all about my brother and it hit me hard cuz I’m his wee sister 😓

  48. K.... C....

    I can't particularly relate on a personal level but I still cried because this was how my older siblings felt so it helps me understand how they feel. James TW thank you for writing this song. for those of us who have been through it or are close to someone who has been through it or going through it. Thank you

  49. A.... -....

    who else came here thinking this was lukas graham's when you love someone before knowing that it was his? 😂

  56. L.... H....

    😭😭 👩🏻‍🦰💔💔👨🏻‍🦰

  57. K.... T....

    My parents got divorced when I was three, I would say my older brother and sister had it harder than me because they knew what was happening, I didn't. . My brother shows me this when I was in fifth grade when I asked him why my dad wasn't around anymore. I now understand what this song Ment eight years later..
    I don't know what to think , my brother had to understand what was going on at age eight... I'm thirteen and now understand what was going on, I get why he didn't want my mom to date again, he just wanted his father back... And Christopher if you're reading this, I'm sorry I didn't get why you were upset all those years, and know that dad loves you, and so do I.

  58. V.... E....

    This honestly gets to me still man, i moved in w my dad n no longer talk to my mom, it sucks 😫

  59. M.... ....

    The start sounds very much like another love by Tom Odell

  60. S.... R....

    This relates to me so much my parents got a divorce a year ago and my brother was only 2 and there was so many things he didn’t understand

  61. c.... b....

    I have been relating to this song since I was 3 years old and still relate to the song now and I am 15

  62. H.... W....

    I was causly making a new playlist on YouTube at one in the mornin and I was finding a song and I found this and I cried my heat out cous this reminds me of my older brother who died in the war xx

  63. h.... n....

    I've been throw it before with my mom

  64. P.... O....

    When you love someone ... Great song, great lyrics, very honest and brillant.

  65. C.... H....

    This song realy hits me hard 😢because I know how that person fells

  66. G.... F....

    This remineds me of my stepdad in hospital

  67. m.... c....

    Okay, i‘m crying.

  68. A.... S....

    This song hit straight to the heart

  69. B.... D....

    I cry every time because of the song cuz my parents are divorced 💔💔😭😭😢😢I've had to deal with people talking about oh I love my mom and dad together all my life! me over here :(

  70. I.... g....

    Videos like this are so important to me, and seeing the comments with people that I can relate to is so special to me..

  71. I.... g....

    Most people including me would say that it's better to divorce before the kid is born so the kid won't have a big relationship with the other parent, but sometimes I just want to know what it feels like to have both of your biological parents

  72. C.... W....

    Just cried my eyes out

  73. J.... M....

    My parents are divorced this hit me way too hard...

  74. O.... I....

    Dunno why I’m watching this but... my parents argue like a lot and it’s really loud, they say stuff like they don’t need each other anymore, it’s like a war zone. I dunno it’s just confusing

  75. E.... 2....

    Ok, I learned this from my parents getting divorced

    When custody battles hit, IT.HURTS. you start to get treated like a object in the sense of who your going to live with.


    Some say that picking what college your going to is the hardest decision you’ll ever have to make.

    But for me, it’s who I want to live with.

    E.... 2....

    ElectricGuard 204 omg my parents are about to get a divorce, it’s really like that? 😭

    E.... 2....

    Alli Ritchey I didn’t mean to scare you, but it can be. If your parents are leaving on good terms, than it can be ok. But if there leaving on bad terms, it’s bad.

  76. A.... R....

    My drama teacher let us listen to this song and we are making a drama piece to it

  77. S.... ....

    Why didnt this blow up more? Damn

  78. m.... w....

    My parents are literally divorced and had a big blow out fight. Love that.

  79. K.... M....

    Somethings you can't tell your sister cause she just to young hit hard my parents are abusive and I've been trying to protect her but it's hard

    K.... M....

    me too 🥺

  80. a.... a....

    make more song please I enjoyed listening it :)

  81. S.... S....

    My mom and step dad were gonna get married but. They’re splitting up for good. I don’t have a father figure anymore. My mom has to pay for so many bills. I’m just 14 I can’t do anything to help her. She’s so stressed and i can’t do anything

  82. K.... S....

    Sometimes people are better being apart. My parents split when I was a baby. My Mom remarried an amazing man when I was 4. He’s still one of the best things to ever happen to me.

  83. p.... g....

    Very moving

  84. K.... W....

    Omg 😭😭😭😭 this video is too sad . Almost drive me to tears .. 😭

  85. R.... L....

    Parents aren't divorced mom's dead which is worse. In this world there is no such thing as love. People only say it cause its all we know to say. You only care for people for a short period then y'all act like strangers.

  86. j.... a....

    This is so underrated

  87. D.... T....

    2019 still?8

  88. Y.... G....

    You made me cry ❤️

  89. D.... ....

    My parents divorced 12 years ago when i was 9 years old and im completely over it but man... this song really takes me back in that moment

  90. h.... l....

    It not a pice of cake going threw this but there always someone out there who loves you.

  91. G.... H....

    Idk why but I’m so scared that my parents will divorce.. or that my dad will die (he goes on business trips a lot and takes very long flights) but this song my dear.. this just hit me🤧❤️

  92. J.... J....

    Owhhh i wanna cry

  93. E.... G....

  95. i.... l....

    This song hits hard
