Run Back to Me
Fading Echoes: Unraveling Heartbreak in 'Run Back to Me'
Lyrics
You never told me it would be a problem
You never informed me beforehand that this situation would become an issue.
But know I know cause everything's said and done
Now I understand because everything has been said and done.
I never thought you would leave me alone this way
I never expected you to abandon me in this manner.
And just like that you left me stranded
Suddenly, you left me alone and helpless.
Hoping for some other guy to be
Hoping for another man to fulfill what you desired.
The one you thought that would take you all the way
You thought someone else would meet all your needs.
(Take you all the way)
(Emphasizing the expectation of someone else meeting those needs)
I don't know what you want
I'm unsure of your desires.
Cause all I've got
I possess everything that you required.
Is everything you needed
All the necessary elements or qualities are within me.
I guess I'm moving on
I'm starting to move forward.
So when I'm gone
So when I'm no longer present,
Don't come running back to me
Don't return to me seeking reconciliation.
(Hah)
(Exclamation of irony or disbelief)
If there were times that you just wanted to go
If there were moments you desired to leave,
You should have told me then at least I'd know
You should have communicated, so I could have understood.
Not to waste these two damn years on you
I wouldn't have invested two years of my life in vain on you.
But things must go on and
Life goes on despite the circumstances,
I guess in the grand scheme of things
And in the larger perspective,
That this just wasn't meant to be
This relationship wasn't destined to continue.
(Wasn't meant to be)
(Acknowledgment that the relationship wasn't meant to last)
I don't know what you want
Uncertain of your desires or intentions.
Cause all I've got
I possess everything necessary for you.
Is everything you needed
I'm beginning to move forward.
I guess I'm moving on
So when I'm not part of your life,
So when I'm gone
Don't expect me to welcome you back.
Don't come running back to me
(Reiteration of refusal to reconcile)
I never know who I can trust
I'm unsure whom I can confide in,
With all these things I feel
With the multitude of emotions I'm experiencing.
Don't get too close but don't let go
Maintain a certain distance but don't entirely let go.
You don't know what you've got until it's gone
One often doesn't realize the value of something until it's gone.
I don't know what you want
Uncertain of your desires or intentions.
Cause all I've got
I possess everything necessary for you.
Is everything you needed
I'm beginning to move forward.
I guess I'm moving on
So when I'm not part of your life,
So when I'm gone
Don't expect me to welcome you back.
Don't come running back to me
(Final assertion of refusal to reconcile)
