Lyrics
You've got something to say to me, I know
You have something to communicate to me, and I am aware of it.
I see you running away from me to him
I observe you avoiding me and seeking solace with someone else.
You shouldn't kick a man when he's down
It's not advisable to harm someone when they are already facing difficulties.
But you didn't know I was on the ground
You were unaware that I was already in a challenging situation.
Nothing happens the way I want, I know
Things don't unfold as I wish them to.
And something better will come along, I'm told
I am told that something better will eventually happen.
Can't see the future for what it could be
It's challenging to envision the future for what it might become.
All I see is I'm not changing
All I can perceive is that I am not undergoing any positive transformation.
Back down and step aside
Retreat and make way for others; advice is to overlook certain issues.
They tell me let it slide
I am urged to let things go without reacting strongly.
I can't do anything
Feeling powerless, unable to take any action.
I won't just push you away
I won't simply distance myself from you; I will not reject you outright.
I guess you're happy the way that this turned out
Seemingly, you are content with the way circumstances have unfolded.
All of your sorrow you think you'll be without
You believe you can escape all the pain and sadness.
It's been a struggle to watch you fade away
It's been difficult witnessing your decline.
But I'm still here, my heart's still beating
Despite the challenges, I remain present, and my heart continues to beat.
Back down and step aside
Similar to line 11, suggesting the need to step back and not confront.
They tell me let it slide
Reiterates the advice to let things pass without strong reactions.
I can't do anything
Expressing the feeling of helplessness and inability to act.
I won't just push you away
I won't completely distance myself from you; I won't outright reject you.
I watched you walk away
I observed you leaving, and the uncertainty of whether things will be okay.
Will it ever be okay?
Raising the question of whether the situation will eventually improve.
Back down and step aside
Repetition of the idea to step back and not engage in confrontation.
They tell me let it slide
Reiterates the advice to let things pass without strong reactions.
I can't do anything
Expressing the feeling of helplessness and inability to act.
I won't just push you away
I won't completely distance myself from you; I won't outright reject you.
You will be running away from him and then
You will distance yourself from the other person, and eventually, you'll desire a connection with me again.
You know you'll want to fall into me again
Anticipating that you will realize the need to return to me.
It's just a matter of time before you see
It's just a matter of time before you recognize that I am here and have been patiently waiting.
That I am here, and I've been waiting
Emphasizes the enduring presence and patient waiting for a connection to be reestablished.
