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”
My heart be breaking, breaking, breaking, aching
Feeling all this pain I'm contemplating
From the moment that you fucking left (From the moment that you fucking left)
Always had you on my mind was never thinking less
All these other girls they're on my line, they chasing checks
But when I was with you in can not compare (When I was with you in can not compare)
Cause I lost myself like they were finding Nemo
Broke my heart and now I'm needing chemo
Felt so fake it wasn't in my ego
Playing all these games it was mind over matter
Star of my play
You're the lead, you're an actor
Blew me away like a natural disaster
but you were mine (You were mine)
Cause I remember
I remember when I was with you it turns out you were really the issue
But now it's a issme
Now that you left me
I've been on my low and I've been feeling so empty
Now that you're gone
I don't even know what to do
I have been running around so confused, without you
There's a
Whole in my heart
And every day without it we grow further apart cause
My heart be breaking, breaking, breaking, aching
Feeling all this pain I'm contemplating
From the moment that you fucking left (From the moment that you fucking left)
Always had you on my mind was never thinking less
All these other girls they're on my line, they chasing checks
But when I was with you in can not compare (When I was with you in can not compare)
My heart be breaking, breaking, breaking, aching
Feeling all this pain I'm contemplating
From the moment that you fucking left (From the moment that you fucking left)
Always had you on my mind was never thinking less
All these other girls they're on my line, they chasing checks
But when I was with you in can not compare (When I was with you in can not compare)
Been a long time coming
Been a long time long time in the runnings
Been a long time coming
Been a long time long time in the runnings
Feeling all this pain I'm contemplating
From the moment that you fucking left (From the moment that you fucking left)
Always had you on my mind was never thinking less
All these other girls they're on my line, they chasing checks
But when I was with you in can not compare (When I was with you in can not compare)
Cause I lost myself like they were finding Nemo
Broke my heart and now I'm needing chemo
Felt so fake it wasn't in my ego
Playing all these games it was mind over matter
Star of my play
You're the lead, you're an actor
Blew me away like a natural disaster
but you were mine (You were mine)
Cause I remember
I remember when I was with you it turns out you were really the issue
But now it's a issme
Now that you left me
I've been on my low and I've been feeling so empty
Now that you're gone
I don't even know what to do
I have been running around so confused, without you
There's a
Whole in my heart
And every day without it we grow further apart cause
My heart be breaking, breaking, breaking, aching
Feeling all this pain I'm contemplating
From the moment that you fucking left (From the moment that you fucking left)
Always had you on my mind was never thinking less
All these other girls they're on my line, they chasing checks
But when I was with you in can not compare (When I was with you in can not compare)
My heart be breaking, breaking, breaking, aching
Feeling all this pain I'm contemplating
From the moment that you fucking left (From the moment that you fucking left)
Always had you on my mind was never thinking less
All these other girls they're on my line, they chasing checks
But when I was with you in can not compare (When I was with you in can not compare)
Been a long time coming
Been a long time long time in the runnings
Been a long time coming
Been a long time long time in the runnings
