Empty Lungs
Unveiling Love's Evolution: Empty Lungs by Lucas Erickson
Lyrics
I think that I've always known of you
I have always been aware of your existence.
But I've never known you like this
However, I've never understood you in this way before.
You took me by the tongue and you had me undone
You surprised me with your words, leaving me unsettled.
After we shared that first binding kiss
Our first kiss had a profound impact on me.
I know you must feel so much different
You seem different to me now, compared to your past with someone else.
To me than you once did to him
Despite the changes, I still see traces of your past self.
But I promise that I still catch glimpses of what I know you must have been like back then
I catch glimpses of the person you used to be.
So wait for me before
Wait for me before you leave.
You go, oh, oh
I don't want to be alone.
I don't want to feel alone
Empty lungs (loneliness) is more bearable when anticipated or expected.
Empty lungs feel better when they've been planned
Uncertain if I have the strength to free myself from your influence.
Don't know if I've got what it takes to crawl out of the palm of your hand
Expressing doubt about overcoming the hold you have on me.
I can't see clearly when you're not by my side
I struggle to see clearly when you're not with me.
Without that one little piece of me, I think the rest of me's died
Without you, I feel incomplete and a part of me seems lost.
So wait for me before you go
Wait for me before you leave.
It's been a few weeks now without you
It has been a few weeks since we were together.
And no matter what nobody says
Regardless of what others say, I won't return to a time when you occupied my thoughts entirely.
I promised I wouldn't go back to the days when you had all the space in my head
Commitment to not reliving the past where you consumed my mind.
Oh, no, I won't, let you win
I won't let you prevail or triumph this time.
This time
This time, I am determined to resist your influence.
Empty lungs feel better when they've been planned
Empty lungs (loneliness) is more bearable when anticipated or expected (repeated).
I'm finally starting to crawl out of the palm of your hand
I am slowly breaking free from your control.
I'm seeing clearer than I ever did before
My vision is clearer than ever before.
I'm finally realizing I don't need you anymore
I have finally realized that I don't need you anymore.
