When I Know
Love's Departure: A Journey Through Heartfelt Abandonment
Lyrics
There's no way you could've faked it
There's doubt about the authenticity, suggesting inability to deceive.
No, you're not that good
Expressing skepticism about the person's skill in deception.
I know you love me, I felt it
Acknowledging a perceived love, a genuine emotion experienced.
So strong, that strong
Emphasizing the intensity of the felt love.
And it was something kinda crazy
Describing an intense and perhaps unexpected experience.
But never not honest
Affirming the commitment to honesty even in the midst of intensity.
I know you love me, I felt it
Reiterating the acknowledgment of love, though the person is now absent.
But you're gone, so gone
Highlighting the absence of the person despite the felt love.
Were you scared that it'd cost you?
Questioning if fear played a role in the person's departure.
That it felt too damn good?
Suggesting that the experience was too enjoyable to endure.
You gave me love, then you ran away
Recalling a past act of giving love followed by the person leaving.
Are you gone? too gone?
Questioning the extent of the person's departure.
When I know you're not alone
Expressing awareness that the person is not alone.
I can't help but feel alone
Feeling a sense of loneliness despite the person's presence.
When you said "You're on your own"
Recalling a moment of being told to be independent.
I found my way home, oh, but I still can't find me
Reflecting on the difficulty of self-discovery despite finding physical home.
Cause I know, I know
Reaffirming knowledge of the person's feelings.
You felt it yeah
Acknowledging the person's emotional connection.
Cause I know, I know
Repeating the awareness of the person's emotions.
That you felt like home
Describing the person as a source of comfort and familiarity.
Cause I know, I know
Reiterating the understanding of the person's emotional state.
That you could imagine
Recognizing the person's ability to envision a meaningful connection.
What we had was magic
Believing in the magical quality of the past connection.
When I know you're not alone
Acknowledging the awareness of the person's current state of being.
I can feel you feel alone
Sensing the person's loneliness despite their physical presence.
Know you chose to let me go
Understanding the person's choice to part ways.
But God I still hope, that you come looking for me
Expressing a lingering hope for the person to return.
