Lyrics
It's not in the cards
Expressing that the situation was not anticipated or destined.
You've beaten the odds
Acknowledging overcoming challenges against expectations.
We knew it would fall apart
Recognizing the anticipated breakup or failure.
Right from the start
Suggesting that problems were evident from the beginning.
I'm getting tired of this
Conveying weariness with the current state of affairs.
And this is how it has to end, so
Accepting the inevitable end of the relationship.
I'm drowning deep
Describing a feeling of being overwhelmed and submerged.
So deep I cannot see
Emphasizing the depth of emotional struggle.
I get anxiety
Expressing the experience of anxiety.
When you're not next to me
Highlighting discomfort in the absence of a significant other.
Yeah you take my breath away
Acknowledging the partner's captivating effect.
You're suffocating me
Feeling overwhelmed or controlled by the partner.
I wonder what I need to do
Expressing uncertainty about the necessary actions.
Will I ever escape from you
Questioning the possibility of breaking free.

You (you)

-They say if you love something
Quoting a common saying about love and freedom.
You've gotta set it free
Suggesting the idea of letting go for love to thrive.
And if it returns
Exploring the uncertainty of love's return.
Then it was meant to be baby
-How could this happen to me, so
