Lyrics
Oh oh
Expression of emotion or realization.
Oh oh
Continuation of emotional expression.
He can't bear to leave me, in the morning
Someone doesn't want to part ways in the morning.
I'm too blind to see him, in the morning
The narrator is oblivious to the other person's presence in the morning.
Buried all my feelings
Suppressed emotions, possibly to protect the other person.
I'm withholding, it's not fair to let him fall
Feeling guilty for not revealing true feelings to prevent the other person from getting hurt.
I tried to leave him signs
Attempts to communicate through signs or hints.
Give him warning
Warning the other person about something.
Are they hard to recognize?
Questioning if the signs are easily noticeable.
You're still falling
The other person is still falling despite the warnings.
Away 'cause I can't tell him
Uncertain about expressing lack of love.
I don't love him anymore
Admitting not loving the other person anymore.
I've got to let him go
Acknowledging the need to let the person go.
I've got to let him go
Repetition for emphasis on the decision to let go.
I've got to let him go
Continued emphasis on the necessity to let go.
I've got to let him go
Reiteration of the resolve to let go.
I've got to let him go
Emphasizing the urgency of letting go.
He's falling even deeper, didn't see it coming
Realization of the other person's deep feelings, unexpected by the narrator.
His heart belongs to me, but I'm still running
The other person's heart is committed, but the narrator is avoiding commitment.
Away 'cause I can't tell him
Uncertainty in expressing the lack of love.
I don't love him anymore
Admitting not loving the other person anymore.
I can't be who he wants me to be, in the morning
Unable to fulfill the other person's expectations in the morning.
I can't see whom he wants me to see, in the morning
Unable to see what the other person desires in the morning.
But I can't wait to tell him
Anticipating revealing the lack of love to the other person.
I don't love him anymore
Admitting not loving the other person anymore.
I've got to let him go
Reiterating the necessity of letting go.
I've got to let him go
Continued emphasis on the decision to let go.
I've got to let him go
Repeated declaration of the need to let go.
I've got to let him go, no
Stressing the urgency of letting go.
I've got to let him
Repeating the urgency of letting go.
I need him in the evening
Expressing a desire for the other person in the evening.
I need him more and more
Increasing dependency on the other person.
But when I wake to see him
Upon waking, the other person is not a priority in the narrator's thoughts.
He's not even on my mind oh no no no
Neglecting the other person's presence in the morning.
I've got to let him go, no no no
Reiterating the urgency of letting go.
I've got to let him go, no no no no
Continued emphasis on the decision to let go.
I've got to let him go, no no no
Stressing the urgency of letting go.
I've got to let him go, go
Final resolution to let the person go.
