It's Only Over for You
Love's Echo: A Heart's Resilience
Lyrics
Somehow I knew I'd see you tonight
Anticipation of meeting the person tonight.
Here in our old rendezvous
Referencing a past meeting place or date.
I'm at the mercy of old memories
Feeling vulnerable to memories of the past.
You've got your somebody new
Acknowledging the presence of someone new in the person's life.
You may wonder why I keep coming by
Explaining the motivation behind repeated visits despite heartbreak.
With this heart so broken in two
Expressing emotional pain and heartbreak.
Any fool can see with one look at me
Conveying the visible signs of heartbreak.
That it's only over for you
Stating that the emotional connection is only over for the other person.
It's only over for you
Reiterating that the emotional closure is one-sided.
No, I'm not the one you found somebody new
Denying being the one who moved on.
You can go on believing we're through
Challenging the belief that the relationship is truly over.
Ooh, but it's only over, it's only over for you
Emphasizing that the closure is specific to the other person.
As I watch you falling in love
Observing the person falling in love while experiencing personal pain.
You can't see me falling apart
Highlighting the contrast between visible and internal emotional states.
And even though you hurt me I know
Acknowledging the hurt caused by the person but expressing enduring love.
I still love you with all of my heart
Affirming the continued love despite the pain.
But I won't hide my face in a stranger's embrace
Refusing to seek solace in the company of strangers.
When we dance into each other's view
Rejecting false displays of moving on when encountering the person.
No, don't be surprised at these tears in my eyes
Preparing the person for visible sadness during encounters.
'Cause it's only over for you
Reiterating that emotional closure is one-sided.
It's only over for you
Repeating the assertion that closure is not mutual.
No, I'm not the one you found somebody new
Affirming that the speaker hasn't moved on.
You can go on believing we're through
Challenging the belief in a complete breakup.
Ooh, but it's only over, it's only over for you
Emphasizing that the closure is specific to the other person.
Oh, it's only over, it's only over for you
Concluding that emotional closure is solely experienced by the other person.
