Time Of My Own
Echoes of Lost Love: King Manzi's 'Time Of My Own' Reveals Heartbreak
Lyrics
When I hold you
Expressing the feeling of holding someone dear.
I can feel the light burning out
Sensing a fading brightness or joy when holding the mentioned person.
When I told you
Recalling a conversation where it was suggested the person would be happier without the speaker.
You'd be happier when I'm not around
Acknowledging the expectation that the person's happiness increases when the speaker is not present.
'Cause all my life I wanted you
Expressing a lifelong desire for the person being addressed.
And now you're gone
Realizing the person is now absent.
What can I do?
Expressing a sense of helplessness or lack of control over the situation.
When you think on me
Requesting the person to remember the speaker.
Don't erase the memory
Encouraging the preservation of shared memories.
What did you want me to be
Pondering what the person desired the speaker to become.
What did you want me to believe
Questioning the beliefs or expectations placed on the speaker by the person.
I've had some time of my own
Reflecting on a period of solitude or personal time.
And I've learned to be alone
Learning to be comfortable and self-sufficient while alone.
We've taken our chances
Acknowledging shared opportunities or risks taken.
And I don't want you to forget
Stressing the importance of not forgetting past experiences.
It was just a glance and I don't
Describing a fleeting moment or interaction.
Want you to regret
Advising against regretting the mentioned interaction.
'Cause I know you
Acknowledging understanding of the person being addressed.
And I know we're both running out of breath
Recognizing a shared urgency or limited time.
And if we hold too tight
Warning about the consequences of holding on too tightly.
Don't you know there'll be nothing left
Highlighting the potential depletion of emotions or connection.
'Cause all my life I wanted you
Reiterating a lifelong desire for the now-absent person.
And now you're gone
Expressing the sense of loss due to the person's absence.
What can I do?
Reiterating a feeling of helplessness in the face of the person's absence.
