Lyrics

Divided

Feeling separated or divided.

Close together on different sides of this

Being physically close but emotionally distant.

Trying to line up just can't find

Attempting to align or reconcile but struggling to do so.

The missing pieces and the glue

Referencing missing elements and the adhesive needed to mend the relationship.

That we would need to

Highlighting the requirements for coming together again.

Intertwine again

Expressing a desire for reconnection or intertwining.


So goodbye again

Saying farewell once more.

To the one that I relied on the most

Bidding goodbye to the person relied upon the most.

In the moment wish I tried

Regretting not trying harder when the person was leaving.

When you were leaving hate that I

Expressing dislike for not providing a reason during the departure.

Gave no reason we should

Mentioning a lack of justification for fighting or arguing.

Fight for this

Questioning the worthiness of the conflict.


Now there's an empty space

Describing an empty space, possibly metaphorical, after the departure.

On your side of the bed

Referring to a physical absence on the partner's side of the bed.

I filled it with strangers

Indicating the filling of the void with unfamiliar faces.

Since you left

Describing actions taken since the departure.

I've been running in my sleep

Running metaphorically or literally in search of the partner.

Just to find you in my arms

Persisting in the act of holding on to the relationship.

I keep on holding on

(Repetition for emphasis on holding on.)


I keep on holding on

(Repetition for emphasis on holding on and finding the partner in one's arms.)

Just to find you in my arms

-

I keep on holding on

-

I keep on holding on

-

Just to find you in my arms

-

I keep on holding on

-

On a tight rope

-

Clinging on to every ounce of hope

-

Like missing you is all I know

-

The very thought of letting go

-

Is way too much I just cant handle it

-

So goodbye again

-

To the one that I relied on the most

-

In the moment wish I tried

-

When you were leaving hate that I

-

Gave no reason we should

-

Fight for this

-

Now there's an empty space

-

On your side of the bed

-

I filled it with strangers

-

Since you left

-

I've been running in my sleep

-

Just to find you in my arms

-

I keep on holding on

-

I keep on holding on

-

Just to find you in my arms

-

I keep on holding on

-

I keep on holding on

-

Just to find you in my arms

-

I keep on holding on

Continued commitment to holding on despite challenges.
