Ooh-ooh-ooh
The singer expresses emotions with melodic sounds, setting a tone for the following lyrics.
Ooh-ooh-ooh
-Couldn't write music cause you're in all of my songs
The person has a significant impact on the singer's creative process; their presence is influential in the songs.
If I ignored this then maybe you'd truly be gone
If the singer ignores the situation, there's a possibility that the person will truly leave the singer's life.
Put all this heartbreak just out of my mind
The singer tries to push heartbreak out of their mind, possibly for self-preservation.
But as longs as you and I live under same skies
Despite efforts to move on, the singer and the person share the same life circumstances.
My heart will beat for you
The singer's vital functions (heartbeats, breaths) are dedicated to the person, showing deep emotional connection.
Each beat holding steady and true
-My lungs they breathe for you
-Your name on my lips with every exhale
-Each night I dream of you
The singer dreams of the person and wants to hold onto the past, avoiding letting go of the memories.
Each night we find a way
-To stay in the past, never let go
-Hold on to the place where we were for once more
Expressing a desire to revisit and cherish the past moments shared with the person.
You were my lighthouse
The person was a guiding force ("lighthouse") for the singer, intimately known and deeply loved, but is now gone, leaving the singer alone while still keeping promises silently.
Guiding me home
-I knew you like myself
-From the skin to the bones
-I once made a promise
-To love you as long as I live
-But now you're gone and I'm here alone
-Silently keeping my promises
-Couldn't write music cause now there's shame in my songs
The singer struggles to create music due to the shame caused by the person's absence, questioning the truth of moving on.
Who knew these feelings would linger this long
-I keep telling the world the part of me that you lived in is gone
-If that was the truth, oh tell me why the hell am I writing this song here for you
-You were my lighthouse
Reiteration of the emotional impact of the person's departure and the silent commitment to keeping promises made to them.
Guiding me home

-But now you're gone and I'm here alone

Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
-Silently keeping my promises
-You were my lighthouse
