Lyrics
How would this be if I was alone tonight
Contemplating how the situation would be if the speaker were alone tonight.
Maybe then my love everything would turn out right
Expressing a hope that in solitude, everything might turn out right in terms of love.
I wish that this were easy, but you know that it never is
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation, realizing it's not easy.
It seems like hearts get broken during things like this
Noting that heartbreak often occurs in challenging moments like this.
And if you see her walking down along these streets
Describing someone, likely the person the speaker is addressing, walking sadly along the streets.
Her body softly swaying to her heart's broken beats
Depicting the physical and emotional state of the person, with their body moving to the rhythm of a broken heart.
And if you see her tell her that I'm doing fine
Instructing to inform the mentioned person that the speaker is doing fine.
And tell her if she feels like talking, she should call me sometime
Encouraging the person to call the speaker if she feels like talking.
And I can't fight it anymore
Admitting an inability to fight against something any longer.
I can't stop it once it starts
Expressing a lack of control, once a certain process or feeling has started.
Well it's a shame babe
Repeating the phrase "Well, it's a shame babe," possibly emphasizing a sense of regret or sorrow.
Well it's a shame babe
-Well it's a shame babe
-The way we've torn it all apart
Highlighting the regrettable outcome of tearing apart a significant relationship.
And if you see her let her know I wish her well
Requesting to convey good wishes to the person, indicating a desire for her well-being.
And if things will get much better tell her only time will tell
Expressing uncertainty about the future, suggesting that only time will reveal if things will improve.
Cause if she's lonely well I'm alright
Indicating that despite the person's potential loneliness, the speaker is doing alright.
Cause you know
Introducing a conditional statement about being there when things fall down.
When it falls down I'll be there to pick it up one more time
Assuring that the speaker will be there to pick things up once again.
