i sit and hear you sleep
i dont want to go
your there beside me
but your so far away
i talk to you
while your asleep
you cant hear a word
you can hear everything

tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears

the pooring rain
from my eyes
means to much
to keep inside

i sit and watch you leave
my life forever
i know youll be gone so long
my last words are nothing
and i tell you i care
and nothing more
i cant say how i feel
so i cry

tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears

its the light
behind the shadow
that sacred face
behind the mask

    omigosh! this is one of the best Rufio songs! its shows how words have their limitations and how sometimes the only way to really express what you feel is to cry! my favorite line is "Tears are feelings we can't say" b/c that is like so true! when me and my bf broke up we both cried b/c we both didnt know what to say

    This song means so much to me, they tell it like it is. No words can express how you feel when someone you care about isn;t in your life anymore, but tears can. In the song it say "the pooring rain from my eyes, it means to much to keep inside"is my favorite line. i think that line pertically means when you feel like you need to cry dont keep it in, because whatever you are crying about means a lot to you and you need to express it somehow.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
