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.
