Everytime You Go Away
4 The Cause Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Hey!, if we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel yor body move
It doesn't mean that much to me
Always the same thing
Can't you see, we've got everything
Goin' on and on and on
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
The lyrics of "Every Time You Go Away" by 4 The Cause express the feeling of losing a part of oneself every time someone leaves. The opening lines of the song ("Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh, Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you") sets the mood for the rest of the song, which talks about how leaving someone takes away a part of them and how it hurts.
The second verse ("Hey!, if we can solve any problem, Then why do we lose so many tears, Oh, and so you go again, When the leading man appears") suggests that even though we might have the ability to solve problems, we still end up crying when someone leaves. It also highlights that the "leading man" has the tendency to take over and lead the other person away.
In the chorus, the singer tries to be strong, telling the other person to go free and that they don't need them. However, it's clear that they're still hurting, as shown in the lines "I can feel your body move, It doesn't mean that much to me". The song concludes with the repetition of the opening lines, emphasizing the message that every time someone leaves, they take a piece of us with them.
