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”
Another song about nothing feels right
And everything is going wrong
Seems we've been here once before
Whose fault and who's to blame
Doesn't really matter nothing's ever gonna change
It's not working any more
I'm trying so hard to not let go
I'm trying to let you know
Chorus]
Now I'm falling apart all over again
All I got to do is keep on hanging on
Love is breaking my heart
And love will bend
All I got to do is hang on
You know what's sad
We're losing everything that we always thought we'd have
But that's the way it's got to be
Who knows and who's to say
There's nothing left to do but just turn and walk away
Never thought I'd ever leave
I'm trying so hard to not let go
I'm trying to let you know
[Chorus]
Now I'm falling apart all over again
All I got to do is keep on hanging on
Love is breaking my heart
And love will bend
All I got to do is hang on
[ Bridge]
I always thought we'd be together
Oh, yea
I always thought that we'd belong
Oh, yea
I always thought we'd last forever
And I thought that we would never
Ever let it go so wrong
[Chorus]
Hang on
Hang on
Hang on
And everything is going wrong
Seems we've been here once before
Whose fault and who's to blame
Doesn't really matter nothing's ever gonna change
It's not working any more
I'm trying so hard to not let go
I'm trying to let you know
Chorus]
Now I'm falling apart all over again
All I got to do is keep on hanging on
Love is breaking my heart
And love will bend
All I got to do is hang on
You know what's sad
We're losing everything that we always thought we'd have
But that's the way it's got to be
Who knows and who's to say
There's nothing left to do but just turn and walk away
Never thought I'd ever leave
I'm trying so hard to not let go
I'm trying to let you know
[Chorus]
Now I'm falling apart all over again
All I got to do is keep on hanging on
Love is breaking my heart
And love will bend
All I got to do is hang on
[ Bridge]
I always thought we'd be together
Oh, yea
I always thought that we'd belong
Oh, yea
I always thought we'd last forever
And I thought that we would never
Ever let it go so wrong
[Chorus]
Hang on
Hang on
Hang on
