Lyrics

By now I guess she's wondering how I'm doing

Speculation about how the ex-partner wonders about the narrator's well-being.

If it broke my heart when she told me goodbye

Reference to the emotional pain caused by the ex-partner's goodbye.

Well, every night I sleep just like a baby

Ironically, despite claiming to sleep like a baby, the narrator reveals inner turmoil.

I wake up every hour and cry.

Contrasts the claim of peaceful sleep with the reality of frequent crying.


I bet she don't think I'm going miss her

Suggests the ex-partner may underestimate the narrator's emotional struggle.

Probably think she's always on my mind

Implies the ex-partner might assume constant presence in the narrator's thoughts.

But every night I sleep just like a baby

Reiteration of the paradox of sleeping like a baby while experiencing inner distress.

I wake up every hour and cry.

Emphasizes the internal pain, contradicting the appearance of tranquility.


She believes that I can't live with out her

Describes the ex-partner's belief in the narrator's inability to live without her.

And it hurts so bad sometimes I almost die

Expresses intense emotional suffering, reaching the point of feeling close to death.

Well, every night I sleep just like a baby

Repeats the theme of troubled sleep despite the ex-partner's perceptions.

I wake up every hour and cry.

Emphasizes the regularity of waking up and crying, underscoring the emotional struggle.


You know I'll bet way down deep

Suggests the ex-partner's assumptions about the narrator's enduring love.

That she thinks that I'll always love her

Reinforces the idea that the ex-partner believes in the narrator's eternal love.

And I'll bet she thinks I'll never love another

Implies the ex-partner's belief that the narrator won't find love elsewhere.

No matter how hard I try.

Expresses the narrator's struggle to move on despite sincere efforts.


'Cause every night I sleep just like a baby

Reiterates the paradox of sleeping like a baby while experiencing emotional turmoil.

I wake up every hour and cry.

Confirms the regular pattern of waking up and crying, highlighting emotional pain.


Lord, every night I sleep just like a little bitty baby

Uses religious imagery to underscore the vulnerability and need for comfort.

I wake up every hour and cry...

Reiterates the pattern of waking up and crying, concluding with the ongoing emotional struggle.
