"Nico Santos" by Nico Santos finds a couple stranded between a faded summer romance and a cold, uncertain future. They admit they are damaged goods, broken in the same spot, yet neither leaving nor staying offers relief. The repeated wish to learn to love again becomes a quiet act of defiance, trading impossible expectations for the simple hope of waking beside each other. It is a tender, wounded plea to rebuild affection from the ruins rather than surrender to the cold.
learn to love again Lyrics by Nico Santos
This won’t end like all the fairytales
‘Cause summer’s gone and left us in the cold
I shut my eyes and hear the words you said
Love like this stays young, never grows old
Now my words don’t land where they should
And you say you’re misunderstood, well
Truth is we’re just damaged goods
Broken in the same spot, waiting for the world to turn
‘Cause I know we can’t go back
And I know we can’t move on
So we’re damned if we stay
And we’re damned if we run
I would give it all I have
If it meant that’s just for once
I could find us a way
To learn to love again
To learn to love again
I wanna find us a way…
We can end this if that’s what you want
May be easier that way
But as long as there’s the dream of love
I’ll wake up beside you every day
Let’s find a way out of these wounds
We could fix, I know we could, well
Truth is we’re just damaged goods
Broken in the same spot, waiting for the world to turn
But I know we can’t go back
And I know we can’t move on
So we’re damned if we stay
And we’re damned if we run
I would give it all I have
If it meant that’s just for once
I could find us a way
To learn to love again
To learn to love again
I wanna find us a way
To learn to love again
Truth is you and I, that expectations get too high
And I would trade them all for where we lay
If I only knew that I was shooting for the moon just to end up giving half the world away…
‘Cause I know we can’t go back
And I know we can’t move on
So we’re damned if we stay
And we’re damned if we run
I would give it all I have
If it meant that’s just for once
I could find us a way
To learn to love again, oh
To learn to love again
I wanna find us a way
To learn to love again, ah
