Lyrics
Tomorrow used to be a day away
Anticipation of the future has changed; tomorrow is now distant.
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away
Love has ended, and you are involved with someone far away.
I never thought the day would come
Unexpectedly, the day has arrived when the narrator sees someone else holding hands with their loved one.
When I would see his hand not mine
Expressing the pain of witnessing another person replace the narrator in the affections of their loved one.
Holding on to yours because I could not
Unable to hold on to the relationship due to a lack of time.
Find the time
The inability to find time has led to a loss in the relationship.
And now I can't deny
Acknowledging the reality and inevitability that nothing lasts forever.
Nothing lasts forever
Expressing the desire to avoid causing pain and witnessing tears in the loved one's eyes.
But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
Strong reluctance to experience the day when the relationship comes to an end.
I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye
Declaring the unwillingness to live through the day of saying goodbye.
Now there comes another fallen life
Introduction of another person experiencing a downfall in life.
I come alone
The narrator is alone, possibly emphasizing a sense of isolation.
Sitting at a bar with Chris that I can't leave cause my house ain't no home
Unable to leave a place that doesn't feel like home, sitting with someone named Chris.
I just wanna touch you girl
Expressing a desire to be physically close to the loved one.
I wanna feel you close to me
Yearning for emotional closeness with the loved one.
Without your love I would give up now
Highlighting the importance of the loved one's love in preventing the narrator from giving up.
And walk away so easily
Expressing the ease with which the narrator could walk away without the loved one's support.
So baby why break up
Questioning the need for a breakup and proposing to face challenges together.
We'll figure out together
Believing that despite pain, there is a solution or healing process.
That even with the pain there's a remedy
Optimism about overcoming difficulties together.
We'll be alright

I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye

When I first mete you I couldn't love anyone
Initial difficulty in loving anyone, but the loved one changed the narrator's perspective.
But you stole my dreams and you made me see that
The loved one influenced the narrator's dreams and helped them see possibilities.
I can walk into the sun and I could still be me
The realization that, despite challenges, the narrator can remain true to themselves and pursue happiness.
And now I can't deny
Reiterating the inevitability that nothing lasts forever.
