You My Everything
Unveiling Depths of Love and Loss: You, My Everything by Ellie Goulding
Lyrics
Could have given me something
Expressing a desire for something more substantial or meaningful.
You, my everything
Addressing the person as the speaker's all-encompassing and essential connection.
You left me kneeling, mmm
Describing a sense of abandonment or betrayal, feeling emotionally vulnerable.
I'm just one of those people
Identifying with a common experience of being one among many.
You, my everything
Reiterating the importance of the person as the speaker's everything.
For what it's worth
Repetition emphasizing the value or significance of a statement (For what it's worth).
For what it's worth
-For what it's worth
-You were my backbone when
Recalling moments when the person was a source of support, especially in times of hardship and loneliness.
My body ached with weariness
-And you were my hometown when
-My heart was filled with loneliness
-And just as the dark was rising
-I heard you close the door again
-And just as the light turns off
-I know who I dream of
-Could have given me something
Expressing a sense of unfulfilled expectations or disappointment.
You, my everything
Reaffirming the person's centrality and importance to the speaker.
You left me kneeling, ah
-I'm just one of those people
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You are my only hope
Describing the person as the speaker's only hope, acknowledging a truth that has consequences, and recognizing a lack of mutual feelings.
The truth that dealt the consequence
-I know you don't feel the same
-You're sensible and it doesn't make sense at all
Highlighting the logical mismatch in the speaker's emotions and the sensibility of the person, anticipating emotional difficulty.
I know I'm gonna weep my heart out
-You know I'm gonna try much harder
-But it isn't the shit in my head
-Holding me under this time
-Could have given me something
Repeating the plea for something more from the person, emphasizing the feeling of being left vulnerable.
You, my everything
-You left me kneeling, ah
-I'm just one of those people
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
Continuation of expressing the person's importance and centrality.
You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You, my every-
-Could have given me something
Reiterating the desire for more from the person and expressing vulnerability.
You, my everything
-You left me kneeling, ah
-I'm just one of those people
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
-You, my everything
Final repetition of the person's significance and importance as the speaker's everything.
