Lyrics
When I left
Departure
Did you realise you want it?
Realization of desire after departure
Far too late for me to call it
Too late for reconciliation
What I want? Let me go
Desire for freedom
Hey sorry
Apology
Sorry that you've now just picked me
Realization of choosing someone
Did you realise that you can't have me?
Acknowledgment of inability to possess
Do you still wanna know?
Query about continued interest
If I change
Contemplation of change
Would you sway?
Influence through change
So set your eyes on me I'm falling
Attraction and falling for someone
Closer to your frame each morning
Increasing emotional closeness
Put your arms on me and don't let go
Desire for physical closeness and security
Just set your eyes on me and don't let go
Request for commitment and assurance
A hail mary
Last-ditch effort or desperate move
To tell me that you'll never love me
Admission of unreturned affection
Just as long as you don't see me happy
Preference for personal misery over their happiness
Do you still wanna know?
Query about continued interest despite pain
If I say
Pledge to remain
that I'll stay
Promise to stay
I think I'm mourning the loss of something I never had
Regret for mourning something never experienced
But god I wanted it so bad
Intense desire for the unattainable
It's misaligned love
Love in an incompatible situation
I wanna be strong
Desire for emotional strength
I think of us in the kitchen, doorway and on my bed
Recollection of shared moments
God I can't do this again
Inability to repeat past pain
It's misaligned love
Recognition of misaligned affection
I wanna be strong
Desire for inner strength amidst turmoil
So sway
Encouragement to move emotionally
And I'll sway
Willingness to adapt or compromise
