Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

The next lines describe the singer's inability to move on and forget about the relationship. He tries to pretend that he can go on like he never knew his ex-partner, but his world is only half-awake without them. He prays to have his heart healed, to feel whole again, but without his partner, he will always be incomplete.
The song then turns to the voices that are telling the singer to move on and carry on with his life, but he feels like he is swimming alone in the ocean. He sees his ex-partner's face with a look of uncertainty about whether they made a mistake breaking up. He then repeats the chorus, emphasizing that he cannot seem to let go of his partner and that he does not want to see them face the world alone.
