Follow Me
Unfulfilled Promises: Heartbreak in Richard Berger's 'Follow Me'
Lyrics
When you told me that you weren't coming
Expressing disappointment when informed about the person not coming.
Back home
Referring to the person not returning to their shared residence.
All I did was cry
Conveying emotional distress, likely through tears, due to the news.
Said you didn't want to leave
Stating the person's reluctance to part ways.
I can't live without you
Expressing dependency on the person, unable to live without them.
You never said
Pointing out a lack of prior indication that they would be followed.
You would follow me
Expressing surprise or disappointment that the person didn't promise to follow.
Follow me, yeah
Repeating the desire for the person to follow.
Now you act as if nothing happened
Observing the person's current demeanor, seemingly unaffected by past events.
Oh
Emphasizing the person's current location.
But you're where you are
Reiterating the person's physical presence.
Oh, oh
Further emphasizing the person's current state or attitude.
And you're where you go
Highlighting the person's direction or path.
Guess it's over, over
Acceptance that the relationship is over, expressing realization.
I know alone
Acknowledging the feeling of loneliness.
You never said you would follow me
Repeating the realization that the person never committed to following.
Follow me, yeah
Reiterating the desire for the person to follow, despite the acknowledgment of the end.
Now I'm blinded by inner visions of you
Being captivated by internal images or memories of the person.
Something you never were
Recognizing that the person wasn't what they seemed, possibly a realization of a false image.
My own creation
Referring to the person as a creation of the speaker's imagination.
That's all
Summarizing all that the speaker knew about the person.
All I ever knew
Expressing that the person's lack of commitment was the only certainty.
You never said you would follow me
Repeating the realization that the person never promised to follow.
Follow me, yeah
Reiterating the desire for the person to follow, despite the acknowledgment of the end.
