Lyrics

You hold my life in your hands

You have a significant influence on my life.

You build me as if I were a king

You've shaped me as if I were royalty.

Your heart does not understand

Your heart doesn't comprehend something.

I give you my everything

I've given you my complete devotion.

Oh the night that started with wine

A night that began with wine.

Is ending just like it was a dream

Ending like a dream, possibly unexpectedly.

I held her glove in my hand

I held her glove, a symbol of connection.

I gave her my everything

I offered her everything I had.

Drop back

Action to retreat or step back.

She said to me go back

She instructs me to go back.

Drop back

Reiteration of the call to step back.

I fail to see why I

Expressing confusion about the need to step back.

Should drop back

Continued uncertainty about the retreat.

I held the cards in my hand

I had control, but it led to deception.

They fooled me just a pack of lies

The cards I held were misleading.

It seems they wrecked all my plans

Plans were ruined by deceit.


God knows how I really tried

Despite sincere efforts, things didn't work out.

Oh that night that started with wine

A night started with joy but ending sadly.

It's ending just like it was a dream

A repetition of the dreamlike, unexpected ending.

I hold her glove in my hand

I still have a memento of our connection.

I gave her my everything

Reiteration of giving everything to her.

Drop back

Action to drop back or retreat.

She said to me go back

She repeats the instruction to go back.

Drop back

Reiteration of the call to drop back.

I fail to see why I

Expressing confusion about the necessity to retreat.

Should drop back

Continued uncertainty about the need to drop back.

Drop back

Repetition of the action to drop back.

She said to me go back

She restates the instruction to go back.

Drop back

Repetition of the call to drop back.

I fail to see why I

Expressing confusion about the necessity to retreat.

Should drop back

Continued uncertainty about the need to drop back.
