Lyrics
Hold me close
Expressing a desire for physical closeness.
You never really know until it goes
Understanding the true nature of a situation only when it's over.
Why it ends
Questioning the reasons for a relationship ending.
Can't you see
Asking the other person to perceive the impact of their current behavior.
The way your acting now
Noticing the distressing behavior of the partner.
Is tearin' me, tearin' me apart
Expressing emotional pain caused by the partner's actions.
You can't be walking out that door
Imploring the partner not to leave.
Say(ing) you don't love me anymore
Stating that the love has diminished.
Just give a little bit of lovin and I'm ok
Requesting a small amount of affection to restore well-being.
Have a little bit of faith don't walk away
Urging the partner to have faith and not abandon the relationship.
'Cause I know that you need me
Asserting the speaker's importance in the relationship.
Just open your eyes
Encouraging the partner to recognize the impact of their actions.
It's me that your hurting
Stating that the partner's actions are causing emotional pain.
And your love cuts deep inside
Describing the profound emotional impact of the partner's love.
I want to know
Expressing a desire for understanding and closure.
I never thought I'd have to let you go
Coming to terms with the need to let go of the relationship.
Tell me why
Seeking an explanation for the breakup.
True as can be
Affirming the sincerity of feelings.
What it would take for you to stay with me
Questioning what it would take for the partner to stay.
One more night
Desiring one more night together.
You can't be walking out that door
Reiterating the plea not to leave.
Say(ing) that you don't love me anymore
Affirming the partner's statement of falling out of love.
Just give a little bit of lovin' and I'm ok
Asking for a small amount of love to restore emotional well-being.
Have a little bit of faith don't walk away
Encouraging the partner to have faith and stay committed.

You got me running
Expressing the turmoil and confusion caused by the partner.
Got me out of my mind
Feeling overwhelmed and distressed.
But you don't seem to understand
Expressing frustration at the partner's lack of understanding.
You know I need you I always had
Affirming the enduring need for the partner.
So don't be walking out that door
