Lyrics
When there's no more looking back
Expressing a point of no return or irreversible decision.
And you feel you've loved in vain
Feeling that love has been unreciprocated or unfulfilling.
You try and hide your sorrow
Attempting to conceal the pain and sadness.
Now you're alone again
Finding oneself in solitude once again.
So you block out your emotion
Blocking out emotions as a coping mechanism.
Laugh it off and carry on
Choosing to laugh it off and continue with life.
Sayin' why do i have to feel this way
Questioning the emotional turmoil and the validity of love.
Was loving you so wrong
Reflecting on whether loving was a mistake.
If i could only turn around
Expressing a desire to revisit the past for closure.
One more time for old time's sake
Wishing for one last opportunity to relive past moments.
I'd pick up all the pieces
Desiring to mend and recover from past errors.
From the mistakes i made
Questioning the extent of self-investment in the relationship.
Did i give myself completely
Wondering if love was given wholeheartedly.
Or did i hang on for too long
Contemplating whether the relationship was prolonged unnecessarily.
Ah, but what's the use of me talking this way
Realizing the futility of discussing the situation now that the person is gone.
Now that you're gone
Acceptance of the absence of the significant other.
No looking back, it's over now
Emphasizing the finality of the situation, no room for reconsideration.
All over now
Affirming that the chapter has concluded.
I tell myself i'm glad
Convincing oneself of happiness with the resolution.
It's over now
Reiterating the acknowledgment of closure.
All over now
Confirming the definitiveness of the conclusion.
It's over now
Emphasizing the finality of the situation once more.
But if i ever love again
Expressing caution and determination not to be deceived in future love.
Oh, i won't be played a fool
Pledging to be more aware and in control in future relationships.
I'll put in my performance
Committing to a more deliberate and strategic approach to love.
This time i'll know the moves
Learning from past experiences and being more knowledgeable in future relationships.
It's not that i'm feeling bitter
Clarifying that the emotions expressed are not rooted in bitterness.
I've no bitterness to show
Asserting the absence of resentment in the current state of mind.
And all i'm really trying to say
Summarizing the regret of letting go, a wish for a different outcome.
Is that i wish i'd never let you go
Expressing the desire to reverse the decision of letting the person go.
