Minute by Minute
Enduring Heartbreak: Holding on Despite Betrayal
Lyrics
Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
Expressing past experiences of being deceived or misled
I've been here many times before
Conveying a sense of familiarity with facing similar situations in the past
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
Assuring the partner about a clear understanding of the relationship
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
Asserting independence and stating the lack of dependency on love or support
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Acknowledging the potential fragility of the relationship and the possibility of a sudden end
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
Expressing readiness to continue and move forward despite uncertainties
But minute by minute by minute by minute
Reiterating the theme of perseverance and holding on to the relationship despite challenges
I keep holding on
-Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
-I keep holding on
-You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Suggesting a partner's intent to witness the speaker's struggles or downfall
Wilt away on lies from you
Highlighting the negative impact of deceit on the speaker's well-being
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
Describing a habit of living a fast-paced, uncertain life
Take it all for granted like you're the only one
Indicating a tendency to take things for granted, possibly referring to the partner's actions
Livin' on my own somehow that sounds nice
Expressing a desire for independence and the appeal of living alone
You think I'm your fool well, you may just be right
Suspecting the partner sees the speaker as foolish, acknowledging the possibility of being right
'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
Repeating the theme of holding on, emphasizing persistence in the face of challenges
I keep holding on
-Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
-I keep holding on, I keep holding on, oh
-Call my name and I'll be gone
Anticipating a scenario where the partner calls but the speaker is no longer available
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Expecting a moment when the partner reaches out, but the speaker is absent
Just my luck you'll realize
Reflecting on the chance that the partner may realize they should be with someone else
You should spend your life with someone
Hinting at the partner's potential realization of finding a better life with someone else
You could spend your life with someone
-Minute by minute by minute by minute
Reaffirming the commitment to hold on, despite potential separations or realizations
I'll be holding on
-Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
-I'll be holding on
-Minute by minute by minute by minute
Continuing the emphasis on holding on, reinforcing the theme of perseverance
I'll be holding on
-Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
