Lyrics
After a few songs about me
Reflecting on previous songs focused on the singer.
Clarity tells me a thing or two
Clarity has provided insights or realizations.
After a few songs about me
Continuation of self-reflection through songs.
I didn’t think you loved me, but now I do
Initially doubted the love but now acknowledges it.
Weeks and months have gone by
Significant time has passed.
But I can’t shake my feelings
Despite time, emotions persist.
For you
Feelings are directed towards someone special.
When you left me
Addressing a departure; not interpreted as a permanent escape.
You didn’t run away
Perceived departure as getting lost rather than intentional.
I think you just got lost
Emphasizes mutual responsibility for the separation.
But it goes both ways
Expresses a recognition that both played a role in the separation.
I never got to tell you how I felt
Regret for not expressing feelings earlier.
Cause I was scared
Fear hindered the expression of emotions.
Look at the cost
Weighing the emotional cost of not expressing feelings.
But I’m done with the old
Deciding to move on from past hesitations.
So here it goes
Prepares to express suppressed feelings.
I like you more than I can handle
Admits an overwhelming attraction or affection.
I don't think I can put it away
Struggles to contain or manage intense feelings.
And I know you said you needed
Acknowledges the partner's needs or desires.
It’s taken all of I’ve got to believe it
Expresses difficulty in believing the partner's words.
If we find ourselves in the same city, will you see me?
Contemplates a potential reunion in the same location.
Just an old friend? Or will you walk right up to me and kiss me
Ponders the nature of a potential meeting: casual or romantic.
But until then I’ll live in the why
Plans to live in uncertainty until a possible reunion.
You ran out, with no doubt, it was time
Accepts the partner's departure as necessary.
I thought you liked me you more than you could handle
Believed the partner was overwhelmed by feelings for the singer.
But here you are throwing it away
Realizes the partner is letting go of the relationship.
And I know what you said you needed
Recalls the partner's stated needs or desires.
It’s taken all I’ve got to believe it
Struggles to believe and accept the partner's words.
So I’ll shut up I guess and just leave it
Resigns to silence and accepts the situation.
