Lyrics

You know that it hurts me when you don't come home at night

You feel emotional pain when the person doesn't return home at night.

My body can't rest unless you're sleeping by my side

Your body finds rest only when the person sleeps beside you.

You know that it hurts me when you stay away all night

Emphasizing the emotional pain caused when the person stays away all night.

What is it that keeps you there?

Questioning the reason for the person's prolonged absence.

Keeping you occupied, from my heart

Wondering what activities or thoughts are keeping the person occupied, distancing them from your heart.

My heart

Repeating the impact on the heart, possibly symbolizing emotional distress.

Somehow

Introducing a sense of uncertainty or ambiguity with "Somehow."


You know that it hurts me when you don't come home at night

Reiterating the emotional pain when the person doesn't come home at night.

You'll see that it's better than beyond the side

Suggesting that being together is better than being apart.

You know that it hurts me when you can't see straight at night

Expressing distress when the person is unable to see clearly at night.

Will keep you there, keeping you glorified, in my heart

Posing the question of what is holding the person there and glorifying them in your heart.

My heart

Repeating the impact on the heart, reinforcing the emotional significance.

My heart

Emphasizing the emotional weight with additional repetitions.

Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope, hope

Repetition of "Hope" may signify a desire for improvement or resolution.

You know that it hurts me when

Beginning a statement about the emotional pain when...

You know that it hurts me when

...emphasizing the recurring hurtful situation.

You don't, you don't, you don't

Highlighting the absence with repeated "You don't."


You know that it hurts me when you don't come home at night

Reiterating the emotional pain when the person doesn't return home.

My body can't rest unless you're sitting by my side

Similar to line 2, emphasizing the need for the person's presence for your body to rest.

You know that it hurts me when you stay away all night

Reiterating the distress when the person stays away at night.

What is it that keeps you there?

Asking again about the reason for the person's prolonged absence and its impact on the heart.

Keeping you occupied from my heart

Repeating the idea of the person being occupied, possibly emotionally or mentally, from your heart.
