Lyrics
I got love for you still and you know its true
I still have love for you, and it's genuine.
You may think that I don't but I still notice you
Although you may doubt it, I am still aware of you.
It took me a while to get close to you
It took me some time to become emotionally close to you.
I finally did and now I'm over you
Having finally connected, I have moved on from our past relationship.
I'll give it to you plain
I'll be straightforward.
I'm off the chain, I can't be tamed
I am unrestrained and cannot be controlled.
Some things I do I can't explain
Some of my actions are inexplicable.
I don't feel love I don't feel pain
I don't experience love or pain.
I guess I wasn't the man that you wanted from me
It seems I wasn't the man you desired.
I guess I wasn't the one to keep you company
I wasn't the one meant to be with you.
I chased you so long, why'd you run from me
I pursued you for a long time; why did you avoid me?
Why'd you run from me
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the confusion.
I gave you all that I had what did you leave for me
I gave you everything I had; what did you leave for me?
You took away from my time and my family
You took time away from my family.
You took piece of my heart and my sanity
You took a piece of my heart and my sanity.
But I can't blame you I put the blame on me
Despite this, I don't blame you; I blame myself.
No I can't blame you
Reiteration that blame is not placed on the other person.
It's all on me I should've stayed true
The responsibility is mine; I should have been faithful.
And now I'm over you
Reaffirmation that the speaker has moved on from the relationship.
I got love for you still and you know its true
Repeat of line 1, emphasizing the enduring love.
You may think that I don't but I still notice you
Repeat of line 2, reinforcing the awareness of the other person.
It took me a while to get close to you
Repeat of line 3, underscoring the journey to emotional closeness.
I finally did and now I'm over you
Repeat of line 4, emphasizing the speaker's current emotional state.
I'll give it to you plain
Reiteration of straightforwardness in communication.
I'm off the chain, I can't be tamed
Emphasis on being unrestrained and untamed.
Some things I do I can't explain
Some actions are beyond explanation.
I don't feel love I don't feel pain
Reiteration that the speaker doesn't feel love or pain.
I guess I wasn't the one that you had in mind
It appears I wasn't the person you envisioned.
I had you in my grip and now you're hard to find
I had you within reach, but now you're difficult to find.
Is this the end for you and I
Questioning whether this is the end of the relationship.
I never imagined what it would be without you by my side
Expressing difficulty imagining a life without the other person.
I gave you all I had and all my energy
I invested all my energy and resources in our relationship.
The more I look the more it's looking like the end to me
Upon reflection, it seems like the relationship is coming to an end.
The more I think I want to change and it begins with me
Expressing a desire for personal change and growth.
But I can't blame you I put the blame on me
Reiteration that blame is placed on the speaker, not the other person.
No I can't blame you
Emphasizing that blame is not directed towards the other person.
It's all on me I should've stayed true
Responsibility is acknowledged; staying true to oneself was important.
And now I'm over you
Final confirmation of having moved on from the past relationship.
