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.
