Lyrics
She's dancing with another man they're singing hand in her hand in his hand
She is dancing with another man, and they are holding hands.
And it shouldn't really matter anymore but I loved her when she walked out the door
Even though it shouldn't matter now, the singer still loved her when she left.
She once was the beating heart of me I was stupid and I could not be
She used to be the most important part of the singer's life, but the singer was foolish and couldn't become the man she desired.
The man she wanted to see
The singer was unable to be the person she wanted to see.
I know it's getting late
The singer acknowledges the lateness of the situation.
Five past three and I'm still breathing in yesterday
It's past 3 AM, and the singer is still living in memories of the past.
Been sleeping rough for days
The singer has been enduring difficult times, possibly homelessness.
A star goes out each time we have nothing more to say
Each time they run out of things to say, a spark dies in their relationship.
Now I I can't deny
The singer cannot deny the impact the other person had on their life.
You gave me the time of my life put my faith in a well run dry
The other person provided a memorable time but left the singer with empty faith.
But you you pull my oxygen
The other person takes away the singer's vital support, akin to oxygen.
And given the option would you do it all again now
If given a choice, would the other person repeat the same actions?
I know it's getting late
Reiteration of the lateness of the situation.
Five past three and I'm still breathing in yesterday
The singer is still dwelling on memories from the past.
Been sleeping rough for days
The singer has been enduring rough times, possibly homelessness.
A star goes out each time we have nothing more to say
Similar to line 8, every time they run out of things to say, a spark dies in their relationship.
Put you faith in a well run dry pull out those coins you left behind
