Lyrics
Can't hold you no more
Expressing inability to continue holding someone.
There's nothing in your eyes
Observing emptiness or lack of emotion in the other person's eyes.
And I'm trying to ignore
Attempting to overlook or avoid acknowledging a situation.
But I feel it coming to an end
Sensing that the relationship is approaching its conclusion.
It's not that I thought
Acknowledging that the expectation of eternal duration was unrealistic.
It was going to last forever
Recognizing that the relationship was not meant to last forever.
But this is still not the right time
Feeling that the current moment is not the appropriate time for separation.
I'm not over it, yet
Still in the process of overcoming the emotions related to the breakup.
Don't go
Pleading for the person not to leave.
I haven't found your replacement yet
Expressing the difficulty of finding a replacement for the departing person.
Not today
Requesting the person to stay a bit longer.
Just one more life time
Hoping for one more chance or lifetime with the person.
Please don't leave, I can't
Unable to bear the idea of the person leaving.
Nothing can fill the void yet
Acknowledging that nothing else can replace the emotional void.
Not until we're born again
Anticipating a new beginning or rebirth before forgetting the person.
And I forget who you are
Not ready to forget the identity of the departing person.
It's just hard to accept
Finding it challenging to accept the impending end of the relationship.
That it's all going away
Expressing sadness about the imminent departure.
There's still so much in my eyes
Feeling that there is still much left to experience or express.
And I know you can see it
Believing that the other person can perceive the emotions.
I reached for you and held you from behind
Physically reaching out and holding the person.
You were showing me your back the entire time
Noticing that the person is turning away or avoiding connection.
I kissed your hand and asked what's on your mind
Expressing affection and inquiring about the person's thoughts.
You just told me not to get emotional
Being advised not to become emotionally involved.
When I'm done with you you can leave anytime
Stating the readiness to move on and find a replacement.
I'll just find another you I don't care about
Indicating a lack of concern for the departing person.
You don't have to stay for that long of a time
Assuring that the person doesn't need to stay for an extended period.
It's just one more life I'm not asking for much
Expressing a willingness to move on and not asking for much.
Don't go
Repeating the plea for the person not to leave.
I haven't found your replacement yet
Reiterating the challenge of finding a replacement.
Not today
Asking the person to stay for one more day.
Just one more life time
Desiring another opportunity or lifetime with the person.
Please don't leave, I can't
Expressing the emotional difficulty of the person leaving.
Nothing can fill the void yet
Emphasizing that the emotional void cannot be filled by anything else.
Not until we're born again
Anticipating a new beginning or rebirth before forgetting the person.
And I forget who you are
Reiterating the challenge of forgetting the identity of the departing person.
