She continues to sing 'Don't give me up,' saying how she doesn't want the person to leave her/become an angel.

Some make you feel special, and you fall in love. Is it wrong to toss this line/is it bad if I don't say the things I want to say? The rest of the first paragraph the singer asking if you could give up your love.Īngels are people that come and go in your life (possibly implying that we all die eventually, so they all end up leaving). Song MeaningIt's about hesitating to love because of unfortunate events (such as death) that could tear them apart. I totally can be off on some things but here's my take based on what I know about the book, Birdy, and the movie. To each other, they are one another's worlds. This last line states how this song isn't about angels, it's about them (Hazel and Gus). 'It's not about not about angels, angels' And again saying that regardless, how can you let a love like this go? Here it is being stated how unfair their situation is - how they found a love like this that is star crossed and never can truly work out bc of their situation. But how to them, they seem special bc they are special to each other.Ĭlearly this part is about asking the other to not give them up, whether it be through choice or through death.īut if you'd searched the whole wide world Saying they will make us special refers to the idea of oblivion, how no one truly is special and there will come a time when we are all forgotten. Refers to Hazel's and Gus's constant questioning of whether there is heaven or a God. They will come, they will go, make us special oh oh oh' States that the both know it's just a matter of time before they will be torn apart by their circumstance, but that would anyone be able to throw away love if they had it? Basically saying that even though their time is limited, they are holding onto their love. General CommentThis song is written from the view of Hazel and Gus in The Fault In Our Stars.
