Emotion
黃鶯鶯 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
And whos the one youre clinging to
Instead of me tonight?
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
Ill cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
Its just emotion thats taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you donte back
Dont you know theres nobody left in this world
To hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

Im there at your side,
Im part of all the things you are
But youve got a part of someone else
Youve got to find your shining star
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
Ill cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
Its just emotion thats taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you donte back
Dont you know theres nobody left in this world
To hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
Ill cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
Its just emotion thats taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you donte back
Dont cha know theres nobody left in this world
To hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
In the words of a broken heart
Its just emotion thats taken me over




Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you donte back

She hopes that he will find his own happiness, but her desire for his love is palpable, and she is left with a broken heart.

Its over and done
The relationship is ended and there's no going back


But the heartache lives on inside
Though the relationship is over, the pain of it still remains


And whos the one youre clinging to
Who are you holding onto instead of me?


Instead of me tonight?
Who are you with right now when I am not there?


And where are you now, now that I need you?
In my time of need, where are you?


Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I cry for you wherever you are


Ill cry me a river that leads to your ocean
My tears are endless and will flow until they reach your heart

In the words of a broken heart

Im part of all the things you are
I am a part of your life and your world


But youve got a part of someone else
You are holding onto someone else, too

You need to find your true love, your other half


And where are you now, now that I need you?
I am still lost without you


Dont cha know theres nobody left in this world
There is no one else who can take your place
