Lyrics
You say that I am nothing to you
You express that I hold no significance for you
I cry myself to sleep
I experience deep sadness and weep until I fall asleep
A lonely burden on you is me
I feel like a heavy burden on you, a source of loneliness
I have no one to turn to, I'm all alone
I find myself with no one to turn to, facing solitude
What did I do? What did I do?
I question what actions or choices led to this situation
Now I am older and still I feel the same way as before
Despite aging, the emotional pain persists
An abandoned child lives inside of me
There's an inner child in me feeling abandoned
Still cries the same question
The inner child continues to ask the same painful question
And waits for a hopeless answer
The inner child anticipates an answer, though it seems hopeless
Still receives no reply
No response is received
No reply, no reply
The repeated emphasis on the absence of a reply
He took me in His hands
A reference to a spiritual figure (possibly God) taking control
And showed me what I was missing
The spiritual figure reveals what was missing in life
And taught me to forgive but not forget
Teaching forgiveness while acknowledging the difficulty of forgetting
Because that's not possible in this case, in this case
Forgiving but unable to forget due to the circumstances
In this case
Reiteration of the complexity of the situation
Please tell me why, I can't get it outta my head
A plea to understand why certain thoughts persist
These thoughts still haunt me, still I ask why
The persistent haunting of troubling thoughts and questions
Please tell me why, I can't get it outta my head
Repetition of the plea to comprehend the persistent thoughts
These thoughts still haunt me, still I love you
The haunting thoughts coexist with lingering feelings of love
Still I love you
Emphasizing the enduring love despite the difficulties
