Lingering
Yearning Hearts: Embracing Love's Lingering Pain
Lyrics
Although I know I'm doing wrong
Acknowledging the wrongdoing despite awareness.
My love for you is still going strong
Expressing enduring love despite the awareness of wrongdoing.
I feel that heartbreak you will only bring
Anticipating heartbreak as a consequence of the actions.
So why do I let it keep on lingering?
Questioning the persistence of the lingering, despite foreseeing heartbreak.
To watch my love make his retreat
Observing a retreat in the lover, causing inner sorrow.
Deep within my heart I weep
Expressing emotional pain and sadness within the heart.
My heart should be learning how to sing
Reflecting on the heart's need to learn to sing and move on.
Instead of merely waiting and lingering
Questioning the act of waiting and lingering instead of moving forward.
It's by myself I'm walking
Walking alone, possibly indicating isolation and solitude.
It's by myself I'm talking
Talking to oneself, highlighting a sense of loneliness.
My heart knows it's too incomplete
Recognizing the heart's incompleteness without the lover.
It's only in my dreams I find
Finding fulfillment and the ideal man only in dreams.
The kind of man I have in mind
Describing the envisioned ideal man.
So each day I face a new defeat
Facing repeated defeats in daily life and relationships.
So by myself I'm dancing
Dancing alone, symbolizing solitary experiences.
Still in my mind I'm chancing
Taking chances in the mind while acknowledging the illusion.
That this illusion will not end in tears
Hoping that the illusion won't result in tears.
Maybe morning leaves him waiting
Suggesting the possibility of the lover waiting in the morning.
And perhaps relating that without me
Highlighting the lover's existence without the speaker and the emptiness.
There are only empty years
Emphasizing the bleakness of a future without the speaker.
