Can you tell?

Can you see?

From that far what's become of me
Reflecting on personal changes and questioning how others perceive those changes from a distance.
If you want
Inviting someone to come closer for a better observation.
Oh come closer
Encouraging a closer inspection, possibly to reveal hidden aspects.
You can take another look at me
Inviting the observer to take a second look at the speaker.
Don't you fear
Assuring the observer not to be afraid.
No don't fear
Reiterating the lack of fear and emphasizing the need to recall past moments.
Remember the way that we used to be

And I sense

Yes I sense

You have changed

You will never be the same

You make my heart ache
Describing the emotional pain caused by the observer.
You make my heart break
Expressing the emotional impact that has caused heartbreak.
I can never be the same

A bitter end that I crave

This tale of us finds its way to the end
Indicating that the story of the relationship is reaching its conclusion.
Holding on to this life that couldn't be

You thought you would never face this day
Noting the listener's anticipation of avoiding a particular day or event.
I came closer, and saw your ways
Recounting a closer observation of the observer's behavior or actions.
Can you tell?
Repeating the earlier question about perception.
Can you see?
