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
