Everywhere But Here
Finding Liberation: Moving Beyond Lost Love
Lyrics
It's the last time I'm waiting by the phone
Expressing the final instance of waiting for a call.
It's been a lonely love with you
Describing a love that has been isolating or lonely.
And for the first time I'll make it on my own
Embracing independence for the first time and moving forward alone.
I'll give my love to someone new
Committing to giving love to someone new.
To someone who deserves it more than you
Stating that the new person deserves the love more than the previous one.
Honey you don't know what you've been missing
Highlighting the partner's unawareness of what they are missing.
You shoulda been kissing on me (kissing on me)
Suggesting that the partner should have been more affectionate.
Honey you don't know 'cause you won't listen
Emphasizing the partner's lack of listening and understanding.
You're gonna be missing me, dear (missing me, dear)
Predicting that the partner will regret not paying attention.
When I'm everywhere but here
Expressing the singer's intention to be everywhere but with the partner.
I'm gonna take down your pictures on the wall
Deciding to remove reminders of the past relationship.
Cause it's all that's left of you
Noting that the partner's pictures are the only remnants of the past.
I used to break down but now your little doll
Transforming from a person who used to break down to someone stronger.
Is just a girl you never knew
Describing the partner as a stranger the singer never really knew.
Honey you don't know what you've been missing
Reiterating the partner's lack of awareness of what they've lost.
You shoulda been kissing on me (kissing on me)
Reinforcing the idea that the partner should have shown more affection.
Honey you don't know 'cause you won't listen
Repeating the theme of the partner's failure to listen and understand.
You're gonna be missing me, dear (missing me, dear)
Anticipating the partner's regret for not paying attention.
When I'm everywhere but here
Reaffirming the singer's intention to be absent from the partner's life.
You say you want me back, yeah
Addressing the partner's desire to reconcile.
You say you need me, need me, yeah
Acknowledging the partner's need for the singer.
But it's too late for that
Declaring that it's too late for reconciliation.
Believe me
Asserting the finality of the decision.
Believe me
Repeating the assurance that it's too late.
Honey you don't know what you've been missing
Reiterating the partner's lack of awareness of what they've lost.
You should a been kissing on me (kissing on me)
Reinforcing the idea that the partner should have shown more affection.
Honey you don't know 'cause you won't listen

You're gonna be missing me, dear
Anticipating the partner's regret for not paying attention.
