Lyrics

After all the time

Reflecting on the passage of time

After you

Addressing the person being sung to

Had you seen me with someone new

Questioning if the person saw the singer with someone else

Hanging so high for your return

Expressing anticipation and elevation for the person's return

But the stillness is a burn

Describing a painful stillness in the absence of the person


Had I seen it in your eyes

Regretting not noticing something in the person's eyes

There'd have been no try after try

Realizing that attempts were futile without the insight from the person's eyes

Your leaving had no goodbye

Highlighting a departure without a proper farewell

Had I just seen one in your eyes

Emphasizing the importance of recognizing emotions in the person's eyes


I can't give it up

Expressing difficulty in moving on

To someone elses touch

Resisting involvement with others due to caring deeply

Because I care too much

Stating that caring too much hinders forming connections with others


Could you tell

Asking if the person could perceive the singer's emotional state

I was left lost and lonely

Describing feelings of being abandoned and isolated

Could you tell

Reiterating the sense of abandonment

Things ain't worked out my way

Acknowledging that things didn't go as planned


Wish the best for you

Expressing a desire for the best for both the person and the singer

Wish the best for me

Wishing for positive outcomes for oneself

Wished for infinity

Desiring an everlasting connection or love

If that ain't me

Questioning if the depicted scenario resonates with the singer


Give it up

Reiterating the difficulty of letting go

I can't give it up

Declaring an inability to move on


I can't give it up

Repeating the sentiment of being unable to let go

To someone elses touch

Reiterating the reluctance to connect with others due to deep emotions

Because I care too much

Expressing that caring too much impedes forming new connections


Give it up

Repeating the difficulty in letting go

I can't give it up

Affirming the inability to move on from the past
