The lyrics of Anthony Hamilton's song "I" is about a love that was not reciprocated, despite the singer's efforts to hold on to the relationship. The singer tried his best to keep the love alive, but the person he loved refused to commit to anyone or anything, leaving him alone and without any love at all. The song starts with the line "Tried for so long for you to hold on," which sets the tone of the song; it is a lament for a love that was lost due to the other person's indifference.
The lyrics go on to describe how the singer thought they had it all, but things began to decline. The other person did not care enough about the singer's needs, no matter how much he gave. The lyrics express the singer's anguish as he tried to hold on to his love, only to find out that the person he loved did not want to belong to anyone or anything. The singer's love was not enough, and he was left with nothing.
The song is a poignant and heartfelt expression of the pain that comes with loving someone who does not reciprocate. The lyrics are a reminder that sometimes, no matter how much we try, the people we love may not love us back. Despite this, the singer still wants to be there for the person he loves and give his all, but he knows that it may not be enough.
Line by Line Meaning
Tried for so long for you to hold on
I struggled for a long time to make our relationship work
But you won't be long to anyone
You are not committed to anyone or anything, including me
Anything, any love at all
You are not willing to give or receive love from anyone or anything
I thought we had it all until things started to receed
I believed that our relationship was perfect until it started to deteriorate
Giving me no love at all not caring enough about my needs
You stopped showing me love and stopped caring about what I needed
Gave you my heart and all my soul but not once did I let go
I gave you my everything and never let go of my love for you
And I tried to stick by you and I tried to call to let you know
I made an effort to support you and communicate with you about our problems
That I'm here for you and I'm give my all
I want you to know that I am still here for you and I am committed to our relationship
You had the best love of your life
I was the best thing that ever happened to you in terms of love and companionship
But you didn't treat it right, no you didn't, no you didn't girl
You didn't appreciate what we had and didn't treat me with the respect that I deserved
To busy running out all night long, didn't even have the decency to just Pick up the telephone, and just call me, and let me know where you were
You were too busy going out and having fun without considering my feelings or communicating with me
And that your alright, so I can sleep at night, girl you showed out so
I just want to know that you are okay so that I can feel at ease and stop worrying about you
Had the nerve to break up our happy home, all I want to do, is do for you
You were bold enough to end our loving relationship, even though all I ever wanted was to take care of you
I stood by your side, sheltered for you, when things were down
I supported you and protected you when you were going through hard times
I help pull you through, Faithful and all, trusting and warm, but you took heart by storm
I was loyal and supportive, but you still managed to hurt me deeply
But you won't be long to anyone
You are not committed to anyone or anything, including me
Anything, any love at all
You are not willing to give or receive love from anyone or anything

Charlene/ Lyrics
Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
To hard to swallow being alone
She needs someone at night that she can hold
She must have told me a thousand times before
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt her
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end
By your side
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
Come on home to me Charlene
She knows I really love this old music thing
Since I was a child it's been my dream
I can support her treat her and spoil her
You know buy her the finer things
But I forgot about loving her
Damn the money, diamonds and pearls
What about the hard day she had with the baby
All she need is for me to love her
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end
By your side
To protect you and to love you and be with you for life
Come on home to me Charlene
Promise I can't live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that's she gone
I pray that she'll come back one day
In my life
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end
By your side
To protect you and to love you and be with you for life
Come on home to me Charlene
Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene if you're listening would you call on me
Because my heart is aching
