Lyrics
I'm writing this song to tell you that I'm sorry
The singer is expressing regret and apologizing for a situation.
Because I know you never thought that I'd be away so long
Addressing the listener's surprise or disbelief about the singer being absent for a long period.
I know its unfair to ask for you to wait for me
Acknowledging that it's unfair to ask the listener to wait, especially when the singer doesn't have a stable job and the listener is ready to move on.
But I don't have a real job and you're ready to move on
Highlighting the disparity in their situations - the singer lacking a stable job while the listener is prepared to move forward.
And its hard to keep my balance when you look the other way
Feeling emotionally unsteady or off-balance when the listener ignores or disregards the singer.
So I'm letting go with every breath I take in
Resolving to let go of the situation with every breath taken in.
So many reasons I need something more to believe in
Expressing the need for something more substantial to believe in or hold on to.
The time has come to turn and walk away
Realizing that it's time to move on from the relationship.
Through all these changes, mistakes
Reflecting on the changes and errors made.
There was time now its too late
Implying that there was time to rectify mistakes, but that opportunity has passed.
There's nothing more that I could say to you
Feeling there's nothing more the singer can say to salvage the situation or relationship.
I'm writing this song to tell you that its over
Declaring the end of the relationship through the song.
Your jealously took you way too far this time
Blaming the listener's jealousy for causing problems beyond repair this time.
Another day comes, I'm better off with you
Stating that another day has arrived, suggesting a readiness to move on without the listener.
So now take a deep breath and carry on with our lives
Encouraging both parties to take a deep breath and continue their lives separately.
And its hard to keep my balance when you look the other way
Reiterating the difficulty faced when the listener disregards the singer's emotions.
So I'm letting go with every breath I take in
Continuing to let go of the situation with every breath taken.
So many reasons I need something more to believe in
Expressing the need for a stronger belief or purpose in life.
The time has come to turn and walk away
Emphasizing the necessity to move on and walk away from the relationship.
Through all these changes, mistakes
Reflecting on past changes and mistakes.
There was time now its too late
Implying that there was an opportunity to correct mistakes, but it's now too late.
There's nothing more that I could say to you
Feeling that there's nothing more the singer can say to change the outcome of the situation or relationship.
So what good is today
Raising a question about the significance of the present if there's no future.
If there's not gonna be a tomorrow?
Expressing the emotional difficulty of accepting that there might not be a future.
It's too much for me to take
Realizing the burden of the situation is too much to bear.
I know you don't wait forever
Acknowledging that the listener won't wait indefinitely.
Just remember that life without us won't be the same
Warning that life without the singer won't be the same for the listener.
So many reasons I need something more to believe in
Reiterating the need for something substantial to believe in.
The time has come to turn and walk away
Reemphasizing the necessity to move on from the situation.
Through all these changes, mistakes
Reflecting on past changes and errors made.
There was time now its too late
Implying that there was an opportunity to correct mistakes, but it's now too late.
There's nothing more that I could say to you
Reiterating the feeling that there's nothing more the singer can say to alter the outcome of the situation or relationship.
