Lyrics
I know you're far away,
I acknowledge that you are distant.
There's not a single day
Every day, without exception, I think of you.
When I don't think about you
My thoughts are consistently occupied by you.
I know you used to say,
You used to assure me that I would always find my way to be with you.
I would always make my way
I had a habit of making efforts to visit you, my dear.
To come and see you darlin'
Expressing a fond memory of coming to see you.
One day something changed
At some point, there was a notable change in our relationship.
You looked at me a different way
You started looking at me differently.
I thought you'd be the one to stay
I had hoped you would be the one who stays with me.
Stay with me,
A plea for the person to stay with the speaker.
One more night
Requesting one more night together.
Forget all the lights
Suggesting to forget about external distractions or issues.
Talk to me,
Encouraging open communication and sharing.
Tell me you're alright
Seeking reassurance that the person is doing well.
Better without me
The speaker contemplates if the other person is better off without them.
Better without me
Reiteration of the concern about the other person being better off alone.
Saw you the other night
The speaker observed the person on another occasion.
Your smile in the moonlight,
The person's smile is recalled, particularly in the moonlight.
A sight I'd never forget
The memory of the person's smile is deemed unforgettable.
Your smile with this other guy,
The person's smile is noted in the context of being with someone else.
Much brighter than when you were mine
Comparing the brightness of the person's smile with the speaker's time with them.
Guess everything must come to an end
Recognizing that everything, including relationships, has its end.
Stay with me,
Repeating the plea for the person to stay.
One more night
Requesting another night together for comfort.
Forget all the lights
Suggesting to disregard external influences or distractions.
Talk to me,
Encouraging open communication and dialogue.
Tell me you're alright
Seeking confirmation that the person is doing well.
Better without me
Reflecting on the possibility that the person might be better off without the speaker.
Better without me
Reiteration of the contemplation about the person being better off alone.
