Lyrics
Getting tired of reaching out
Feeling exhausted from making an effort to connect
Like a kid staring out your door
Comparing the feeling to a child looking longingly outside
I'd be fine if you could simply let me know
Expressing contentment if the other person communicates honestly
But you don't say a word
Not receiving any verbal response
Found the reasoning myself
Discovering the reasons for the situation independently
Another reason to let go
Finding another reason to let go of the relationship
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, I know
Reiterating the realization that the other person may be losing interest
You must be getting bored
Suggesting that boredom might be a factor for the lack of communication
But stay
Requesting the other person to stay despite the challenges
Please stay
Reiterating the plea for the other person to remain
Like the ember of my life that's fueled with your heart's gasoline
Comparing the other person to the life-sustaining force in their existence
You fade
Noticing the fading of the relationship
A part of me would like to go
Expressing a desire to move on
Turn away and don't look back
Suggesting the idea of turning away and not dwelling on the past
And spare my heart from slowly breaking part by part
Pleading to spare the pain of a gradual heartbreak
It seems like I forgot
Realizing a lapse in memory or understanding
I've been staring at the ceiling
Reflecting on moments spent in contemplation
Wondering when you've changed your mind
Questioning when the other person changed their feelings
Cause I remember you endlessly telling me just how I made you feel
Recalling past declarations of how the speaker made the other person feel
Now you've gone so quiet
Noticing the sudden silence from the other person
Stay
Repeating the plea for the other person to stay
Please stay
Emphasizing the importance of the other person staying
Like the ember of my life That's filled with your heart's gasoline
Reiterating the comparison of the other person to a vital life element
You fade
Observing the continued fading of the relationship
You fade
Acknowledging the gradual disappearance or diminishing significance
So stay
Final plea for the other person to remain in the relationship
