Can't Get Over You
Unforgettable Heartache: Lionel Richie's Emotional Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I guess I need to say I'm sorry
Expressing regret and acknowledging the need for an apology.
I didn't mean to make a fool of myself over you
Regret over acting foolishly because of the person being addressed.
I only wanted just to love you
Desire to love the person sincerely.
But now that were through I can't get over you.
Struggling to move on after the relationship has ended.
I didn't mean to write a love song
Unintentionally creating a song expressing love for the person.
I didn't mean to share these feeling I have in my heart
Unintentionally revealing deep feelings harbored for the person.
I told myself I could forget you
Attempting to convince oneself to forget the person.
Now I know that's not true, I can't get over you.
Realization that forgetting the person is not possible.
And as I walk down through the halls
Walking through spaces filled with reminders of the person.
I see your pictures hanging on the walls, those memories
Seeing images or memories of the person hanging on walls.
For all the thing that we've been through
Reflecting on shared experiences and challenges.
My heart can still feel me and you
Feeling the emotions associated with the memories of the relationship.
Sweet memories.
Recalling fond memories shared with the person.
After the pain of losing you
Dealing with the aftermath of the breakup.
After the heartache, I know it's true
Acknowledging the pain and confirming its reality.
Cause when I saw you, I still can say,
Despite the breakup, the feelings remain strong.
I'm never gonna love anybody else the way I love you today.
Commitment to loving this person unlike anyone else.
I guess I need to say I'm sorry
Reiterating the need for an apology.
I didn't mean to make a fool of myself over you
Regret for feeling foolish due to the person.
I only want just to love you
Expressing the desire to love the person.
But now that were through I can't get over you.
Struggle to move forward despite the breakup.
I can't get over you
Reiterating the inability to move on from the person.
I can't get.... over you
Continuing struggle to get past the feelings for the person.
Noooo,
Emphatically stating the difficulty in moving on.
No, nooo
Repeating the assertion of difficulty in moving on.
Know my heart is breaking baby
Expressing the emotional pain caused by the breakup.
Can't get you out of my mind
Unable to stop thinking about the person.
Tried so hard to love you
Efforts made to love the person despite the difficulty.
Ooooh baby
Expressing emotional pain over the person's departure.
Now you gone, now you gone, you gone away
Realization that the person has left.
Got my heart in my hand
Feeling emotionally vulnerable after the person's departure.
You and me baby
Acknowledgment of the relationship between "you and me."
We got a thing going on
Confirming the existence and depth of the relationship.
Ooooh baby
Expressing emotional pain over the person's departure (repeated).
