If I Can't
Yearning for Love's Embrace: If I Can't by Karina Christy
Lyrics
Starting it easy
Starting the situation in a relaxed manner
Waking up slightly
Waking up with a slight feeling
Holding too tightly
Holding onto something tightly
Still you aint mine
Expressing that the person is not yet in a relationship
Yet still not mine
Emphasizing the absence of belonging or possession
Pressing all the brake
Applying brakes metaphorically, while still feeling heartache
While the heart still ache
Experiencing emotional pain despite slowing down
Walking it slowly
Taking things slowly in life
Yet you’re not here
Expressing the absence of a significant person
still not here
Reiterating the continued absence of the person
Tell me what i am gonna do
Seeking guidance on what to do with the emotions and situations
with all the things ive handed to youg i can't do
Expressing the difficulty of handling given responsibilities
Uh, if i cant have you then show me to get thru
Expressing a desire for guidance if unable to have the person
Believe me baby there’s nothing i cant do
Asserting confidence in overcoming challenges
Cause the only place id rather be is with you
Expressing a strong preference for being with the person
or nothing at all
Highlighting the importance of being with the person or nothing
Im so gonna miss the time Cause the only place id rather be is with you
Anticipating missing moments spent together
or nothing at all
Reiterating the strong preference for being with the person
Where we lost in our love
Describing a state of being lost in love
I could still feel your touch
Recalling the sensation of the person's touch
And I still feel mine
Emphasizing a continued self-awareness and presence
Tonight is feeling different
Noting a change in the current emotional state
Got myself up all alone again
Being alone but determined to move forward
But im getting better
Indicating personal improvement over time
Uh, if i cant have you then show me to get thru
Reiterating the desire for guidance if unable to have the person
Believe me baby there’s nothing i cant do
Asserting the ability to overcome challenges for the person
