Loves You Like I Couldn’t Do (commentary) Songtext
von Duncan Laurence

To me, this is the true ballad of the album


I remember writing ′Loves You Like I Couldn't Do′ somewhere in England
Close to London
Behind Jimmy Scott's beautiful grand piano
The melodies and chords were there quite quickly, but the lyrics...
The lyrics...
We really wanted to find that spot of having the right lyrics phonetically and storywise
And also leaving in the middle what kind of happened
To end the relationship that we were singing about

No blame, no guilt, just purely wishing someone farewell
And goodluck with their next, hopefully more successful, steps in finding love
When it all came together though, I remember being so so so proud
And listening to the track over and over again

I love it, I just love it
