When Its Over
Avant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell you the truth about exactly how I feel about us
We took it to that other level
From all the phone as friends to holding hands to sexing it
But this is about trust
Maybe I can understand
How you could want me as your man
Or is it just material things?
Or the lifestyle that comes with me
‘Cause there’s no guarantee that this will last forever
If you care
When it’s over yea
When the party’s over yea
Will you be there?
When it’s over yea
When the party’s over yea yea
I’ve been thinking 'bout all we been through baby
The happy times, the times you cried
It hurt inside, but I wanna make this work
I really hate that I’m second guessin' it
But I’ve been hurt before
When it rain, it pours
And lose your control
Let me help you let the past go
Is the love we share sincere?
Can I wipe away my fears?
If I walked away from everything, that don’t really mean a thing
Can we live the simple life?
Little fives at early nights
Girl I gotta know if you loving me for me
If you care
When it’s over yea
When the party’s over yea
Will you be there?
When it’s over yea
When the party’s over yea yea
I wanna know
If it’s really real (Really real)
Then tell me what it is you feel yea
I wanna know (Know)
Will you still be there?
When it’s all over
If you care, yeah
When it’s over yea, (When it's all over)
When the party’s over yea (Will you still be with me?)
Oh when the party’s over yea yea (When it is)
When the party’s over yea yea (Baby when it is)
If you care, oohh baby
When it’s over yea (When it's all over)
When the party’s over yea (When it’s all over)
I wanna know
I need to know (When it’s over yea)
When the party’s over yea (Would you still even care)
When it’s all over yea
Will you still be with me? Yea
No life go with option
Will you still even care?
When it’s all over yea
When it’s all over yea
When it’s all over yea
When it is, when it is

The time has come for me to tell you
I finally feel the need to express my true feelings to you
Tell you the truth about exactly how I feel about us
I want to be honest and open about my emotions regarding our relationship
We took it to that other level
Our relationship has progressed to a deeper, more intimate stage
From all the phone as friends to holding hands to sexing it
Starting as friends, our connection has evolved to physical intimacy
But this is about trust
The foundation of our relationship relies on trust
Maybe I can understand
I try to comprehend
How you could want me as your man
I contemplate why you desire me as your partner
But see I don’t mind spending, I don’t mind sharing my life with who I love
I am willing to invest time and share my life with the person I love
Or is it just material things?
Is your affection based on material possessions?
Or the lifestyle that comes with me
Or are you attracted to the lifestyle associated with me?
‘Cause there’s no guarantee that this will last forever
There is no assurance that our relationship will endure indefinitely
If you care
If you truly care
When it’s over yea
When everything concludes
When the party’s over yea
When the excitement and fun come to an end
Will you be there?
Will you still be by my side?
I’ve been thinking 'bout all we been through baby
I have been reflecting on our shared experiences, my love
The happy times, the times you cried
Both the joyful and painful moments we've encountered
It hurt inside, but I wanna make this work
Although it was painful, I am determined to make our relationship succeed
I really hate that I’m second guessin' it
I regret doubting our relationship
But I’ve been hurt before
Past experiences of heartbreak have affected me
When it rain, it pours
Difficulties tend to come all at once
And lose your control
Causing you to lose composure
Let me help you let the past go
Allow me to assist you in releasing your past burdens
Is the love we share sincere?
Is our love genuine and true?
Can I wipe away my fears?
Can I overcome my worries?
If I walked away from everything, that don’t really mean a thing
If I were to leave behind my possessions, they hold no significance
Can we live the simple life?
Can we lead a modest and uncomplicated existence?
Little fives at early nights
Enjoying small pleasures during early evenings
Girl I gotta know if you loving me for me
I need assurance that you love me for who I am, not what I have
I wanna know
I desire to understand
If it’s really real (Really real)
If our love is truly authentic
Then tell me what it is you feel yea
Express your true emotions to me
Will you still be there?
Will you continue to support me?
I need to know
I must have certainty
When it’s all over
When everything concludes
No life go with option
There is no alternative to life
Will you still even care?
Will you continue to feel concern for me?
When it’s all over yea
When everything concludes
When it is, when it is
When it happens, when it occurs

@tamicasmith2846
He has a fan for LIFE! Been rocking with him since "My First Love"! I don't even really listen to the radio, because they don't appreciate real music like he's given us, since the beginning of his career! As long as you're an artist, this girl right here will forever be your fan!
