Lyrics
I hear love knockin', but I must send it away
Love is present, but the speaker chooses to push it away.
Lost but not forgotten, it just seems harder to take
Memories of love persist, making it more difficult to cope.
But I know what people say, they tell me I must go it alone
Others advise the speaker to handle things independently.
If I lose you along the way, will time ever heal the pain?
Fear of losing the loved one and wondering if time can heal the resulting pain.
Only I know when it's over, only I know, only I know
The speaker alone knows when a relationship has reached its end.
When it's over, only I know
Reiteration that only the speaker can determine when it's truly over.
I feel a heart breakin', but I won't stand in your way
Feeling the pain of a heartbreak but not obstructing the other person's choices.
This love is lost, but not forsaken
The love is lost but not abandoned completely.
We turn our backs and just walk away
Deciding to move away from the relationship.
Now I know what people see, they tell me I must go it alone
External perceptions urging the speaker to handle the situation independently.
It's over you but up to me, will time ever heal the pain?
Accepting that the end is decided by the speaker and questioning if time can heal.
Only I know when it's over, only I know, only I know
Reasserting the sole knowledge of when the relationship concludes.
When it's over, only I know
Reiteration of the speaker's exclusive understanding of the relationship's end.
I know when it's over, only I know, I'll know
Confidence in recognizing when the relationship reaches its conclusion.
When it's over, only I know
Emphasizing the sole awareness of the end of the relationship.
Now I know what people see, they tell me I must go it alone
Repeated advice from others to handle the situation alone.
It's over you but up to me, will time ever heal the pain?
Reiteration of the speaker's responsibility for the end and questioning the healing of time.
Only I know when it's over, only I know, I know
Reasserting the speaker's exclusive knowledge of the end.
When it's over, only I know, I know when it's over
Confidently stating the self-awareness of when the relationship concludes.
Only I know, I know, when it's over, only I know
Reiterating the exclusive understanding of the end of the relationship.
