Lyrics
Look at what you've done
Reflecting on the consequences of actions taken
Stand still, fallin' away from me
Experiencing a sense of detachment or separation
When it takes so long
Expressing impatience with the passage of time
Fire's out, what do you want to be?
Questioning one's aspirations and goals
I'm holdin' on
Struggling to maintain a connection or relationship
Myself was never enough for me
Acknowledging personal inadequacy or self-doubt
Gotta be so strong
Emphasizing the need for inner strength
There's a power in what you do
Recognizing the influence and impact of actions
Now, every other day I'll be watching you
Monitoring someone closely, possibly with a sense of vigilance
Oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional intensity
Oh oh
-Show you what it feels like
Desire to make someone understand a particular feeling
Now I'm on the outside
Expressing a state of being excluded or distant
Oh oh
Reiterating the feeling of being on the outside
We did everything right, now I'm on the outside
Reflecting on past actions and their impact on the current state
I'll show you what it feels like
Reaffirming the intention to make someone understand
Now I'm on the outside
Repetition for emphasis or emotional intensity
I'll show you what it feels like
-Though you give me no reason
Expressing confusion or frustration about the lack of explanation
For me to stay close to you
Questioning the reasons to maintain proximity
Tell me what lovers do
Seeking an explanation for the actions of a lover
How are we still breathing?
Raising existential questions about life and survival
It's never for us to choose
Acceptance of circumstances beyond personal control
I'll be the strength in you
Committing to provide support and strength
I'm holdin' on
Reiterating the struggle to maintain a connection or relationship
Myself was never enough for me
Reaffirming personal inadequacy or self-doubt
Gotta be so strong
Emphasizing the ongoing need for inner strength
There's a power in what you do
Reiterating the influence and impact of actions
Now, every other day I'll be watching you
Continuing to closely monitor someone
Oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional intensity
Oh oh
-Show you what it feels like
Reiterating the desire to make someone understand a particular feeling
Now I'm on the outside
Reexpressing the state of being excluded or distant
Oh oh
Reiterating the feeling of being on the outside
We did everything right, now I'm on the outside
Reaffirming the reflection on past actions and their impact
