Lyrics
Before I give up on you
Contemplating giving up on the person addressed
These are the words I never intended to say
Expressing words not originally planned or intended
Before I watch you walk out the door
Anticipating the possibility of the person leaving
I guess I just wondered what it would be like if you stayed
Curiosity about the experience if the person chooses to stay
Because I can't do this, I'm in too deep
Feeling overwhelmed and incapable of handling the situation
In shallow waters and I'm still drowning in what it was
Struggling in a situation reminiscent of the past
I would never pick you apart
Commitment not to criticize or judge the addressed person
Signed from the girl, who didn't satisfy your love
Message from someone who couldn't fulfill the person's love
Time just stays
Time persists, but memories of the person diminish
The thought of you fades away
The fading of thoughts and emotions related to the person
At least I know you're happier
Acceptance that the person is happier without them
Oh you made the right decision
Acknowledging the person's right decision to leave
I could never love you the way that she could
Admitting inability to love the person as another can
At least she's just enough for you
Acknowledging that someone else satisfies the person enough
Because I can't do this, I'm in too deep
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed and incapable
In shallow waters and I'm still drowning in what it was
Continuing to struggle in a situation reminiscent of the past
I will never pick you apart
Reaffirming the commitment not to criticize or judge
Signed from the girl, who didn't satisfy your love
Reiterating the message from someone who couldn't fulfill love
I can't do this, I'm in too deep
Restating the feeling of being overwhelmed and incapable
In shallow waters, and I'm still drowning in what it was
Persisting in a struggle reminiscent of the past
I Can never pick you apart
Reaffirming the commitment not to criticize or judge
Hope you find the girl who satisfies your love
Wishing the person finds someone who satisfies their love
