Lyrics

This may seem all too confusing

This situation may be very perplexing.

How I could walk away from something so rare

Leaving something exceptionally valuable is hard to comprehend.

But you see it all got too demanding, yeah

The demands became overwhelming, and I became indifferent.

And I just didn't care, I just didn't care, if I cared, if I cared

Expressing a lack of concern and detachment.

Lately, I've been left wanting, but not wanting you

Recently, I desire something but not you.

Attraction that once was is no longer there, ooh

The attraction that existed is no longer present.

And it sucks to be taken for granted

Feeling unappreciated is disheartening.

When the veil is drawn and there's only air

Being taken for granted when the truth is revealed.


I had to walk away

Decided to walk away from the situation.

Give up something I love

Choosing to sacrifice something beloved.

For what I loved even more

Opting for what is loved even more.

And save my tears for you

Preserving emotions and tears for someone special.


Everything has lost its meaning, I had to let it go

Everything has become meaningless, prompting the need to let go.

To find myself, myself, and start something new, brand new

Focusing on self-discovery and starting anew.

Forced to look deep in the mirror, face who I really am

Forced to confront one's true identity by looking in the mirror.

Now it's just me, cause I can't afford you

Now alone, as the cost of being together is too high.


I had to walk away

Reiterating the decision to walk away.

Give up something I love

Reaffirming the sacrifice made for a greater love.

For what I loved even more

Choosing what is cherished even more.

And save my tears for you

Continuing to save emotions and tears for the person.

I gave up something I loved

Emphasizing the sacrifice of giving up something loved.

For what I loved even more

Repeating the idea of choosing a greater love.

And I saved my tears for you

Reiterating the act of preserving tears for the person.

In a vial and walked away

The tears are saved in a vial, symbolizing separation.


You were so beautiful to look upon

Acknowledging the beauty of the person.

I could see the light in your smile

Describing the light in the person's smile.

Your eyes were the windows into your soul

Highlighting the eyes as windows to the soul.

Your body was heavenly just like the sky

Comparing the person's body to something heavenly.


Until all your good looks betrayed you, which ain't much

Expressing betrayal through a change in appearance.

Counted on your counterfeit smiles for too long

Relying on fake smiles for too long.

Your eyes are empty windows: broken

Describing the emptiness in the person's eyes.

The body may be here, but the soul is gone

The body is present, but the soul is absent.


I saved my tears for you in a vial

Reiterating the act of saving tears in a vial.

From everything wicked thing that you did, that you said

Tears saved from the negativity the person brought.

To send away, buried with your love

Burying the tears with the love that is now gone.

So many tears in a vial, now that you're gone,

Highlighting the abundance of tears now that the person is absent.

And now that you're dead

Emphasizing the finality of the person being gone and dead.
