Lyrics of
Dear Darlin'

Dear Darlin was written by Olly Murs, Ed Drewett, and James Eliot. It reflects a method of dealing with a breakup, drawing inspiration from the old-fashioned way of writing letters as a means to express feelings. The song was inspired after Olly Murs had broken up with his girlfriend and began writing a letter as a way to process his feelings.

Dear Darlin, please excuse my writing.
I cant stop my hands from shaking cos Im cold and alone tonight.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried.

And if my words break through the wall and meet you at your door, all I
Could say is:
Girl, I mean them all.

Dear Darlin, please excuse my writing.
I cant stop my hands from shaking cos Im cold and alone tonight.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried.
We tried.

Been thinking about the ball we dreamt.
Feeling like the sofa was sinking.
I was warm in the hope of your eyes.

So if my words break through the wall and meet you at your door, all I
Could say is:
Girl, I mean them all.

Dear Darlin, please excuse my writing.
I cant stop my hands from shaking cos Im cold and alone tonight.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried.
We tried.

Oh I concur. These arms are yours to hold.
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you.
And no one understands what we went through.
It was short. It was sweet. We tried.
We tried.
