Lyrics
It's hard to say what I wanna say
Expressing difficulty in articulating desired words or feelings.
Though you're next to me, I reach for you
Despite physical proximity, there's an emotional distance.
But you just turn your back on me, tomorrow comes
Feeling rejected as the partner turns away; anticipating a future separation.
You'll pack your things and then you'll leave
Expecting a breakup where the partner leaves and takes belongings.
We fell apart and it's killing me
Painfully acknowledging the relationship's deterioration.
Show me, I want to get closer
Expressing a desire for emotional intimacy and connection.
And tell me how to hold you forever
Seeking guidance on maintaining a lasting connection.
'Cause I don't think that I'll survive on my own
Feeling unable to survive alone, emphasizing dependence.
Oh I'm ready, willing to learn, show me how to love
Openness to learning how to love and improve the relationship.
I didn't really understand until tonight
Realization of a lack of understanding, likely related to a mistake.
That I was wrong, you let me try to make it right
Acknowledging wrongs and a sincere effort to make amends.
'Cause I need you to turn to me
Expressing a need for the partner to turn and face the situation.
Oh let's not fight 'cause I can't, I can't let you go
Rejecting conflict, unwilling to let go of the relationship.
Show me, I want to get closer
Reiterating the desire for closeness and understanding.
And tell me how to hold you forever
Seeking guidance on maintaining a lasting connection (repeated theme).
'Cause I don't think that I'll survive on my own
Reiterating the fear of not surviving alone.
Oh I'm ready, willing to learn
Reaffirming readiness to learn and improve the relationship.
I know that you believe that we should be together
Acknowledging the partner's belief in being together.
I see it through the tears in your eyes
Perceiving the partner's emotions through tears.
Oh, and I know I should've tried so much harder
Regretting not putting in enough effort in the past.
Baby yeah, to let you know how I'm feeling inside
Expressing a desire to communicate internal feelings better.
Oh, you got to show me, I want to get closer
Reiterating the need for the partner to show emotional closeness.
And tell me baby how to hold you forever
Repeating the request for guidance on maintaining a lasting connection.
'Cause I don't think that I'll survive on my own
Reiterating the fear of not surviving alone (repeated theme).
Oh I'm ready, willing to learn
Reaffirming readiness to learn and improve the relationship.
You've got to show me, I want to get closer
Reiterating the need for the partner to show emotional closeness (repeated theme).
And tell me baby, how to hold you forever
Repeating the request for guidance on maintaining a lasting connection (repeated theme).
I don't think that I'll survive on my own
Reiterating the fear of not surviving alone (repeated theme).
Oh, I'm ready willing to learn
Reaffirming readiness to learn and improve the relationship (repeated theme).
Show me how to love, show me how to love
Final plea to show how to love and salvage the relationship.
