Lyrics
When you know it's time and you dare to be free
Recognizing the moment is right and having the courage to seek freedom
When you hurt too much in loving me
Experiencing considerable pain while loving the speaker
That's when you're leaving, leaving me alone
At that point, the person is abandoning the speaker, leaving them alone
When you plead to me
Pleading with the speaker
But I'm not really there
The speaker feels emotionally absent or distant
When I close my eyes, afraid of your stare
The speaker is afraid of the intense gaze of the other person
That's when I'm leaving, leaving you alone
At that moment, the speaker is leaving the other person, leaving them alone
I don't know why you're not calling my name
The speaker is puzzled about why the other person isn't calling their name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain
Implying that when the speaker leaves, they will take the pain away
I don't know why you're not calling my name
Reiteration of confusion about not being called by name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain
Reiterating that leaving will alleviate the other person's pain
When the past is gone
Referring to a completed past and an uncertain future
And the future untold
Highlighting the unknown nature of what lies ahead
Knowing all love dies
Acknowledging the inevitability of love's end
And wondering so
Questioning and contemplating about uncertainties
That's when you're dreaming, dreaming too low
At this point, the person is dreaming with limited ambition
I don't know why you're not calling my name
Repetition of confusion about not being called by name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain
Expressing the intention to alleviate pain by leaving
I don't know why you're not calling my name
Reiteration of confusion about not being called by name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain?
Reiterating the intent to relieve pain by leaving
Make me breathe
Requesting to be made to feel alive
Make me not feel a thing
Asking to be numb, to not experience emotions
There's a silence place
Referring to a quiet or tranquil place
I'll invite you in
Inviting the other person into that peaceful place
Then the demons die in your hands tonight
Suggesting that the other person's troubles or inner struggles will cease tonight
I don't know why you're not calling my name
Repetition of confusion about not being called by name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain
Reaffirmation of the intent to take away pain by leaving
I don't know why you're not calling my name
Repetition of confusion about not being called by name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain
Reaffirming the intent to relieve pain by leaving
I don't know why you're not calling my name
Repetition of confusion about not being called by name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain
Reaffirming the intent to alleviate pain by leaving
I don't know why you're not calling my name
Repetition of confusion about not being called by name
When I'll leave I'll take away the pain
Reaffirming the intent to relieve pain by leaving
That's when I'm leaving, leaving you alone
Once again, the speaker is leaving the other person, leaving them alone
