i do not know what
B.W. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through
I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you, I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain
I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you, I just know what else to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain
I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you, I just know what else to do
In these lyrics, the singer expresses feelings of confusion, sadness, and longing after a breakup. They convey a sense of being lost and uncertain about how to navigate life without their former partner. The line "I just don't know what to do with myself" is repeated several times, emphasizing the overwhelming feeling of not knowing how to fill the void left by the relationship.
The singer reflects on their past routine of doing everything with their partner, highlighting the dependency they had on them. They were used to planning and experiencing things together, and now that the relationship has ended, they feel at a loss. This creates a sense of emptiness and a lack of purpose in their day-to-day activities.
The lyrics also express the singer's loneliness and heartache. They miss their ex-partner so much that it feels like a crime to be so lonesome. Even simple activities like going to a movie or attending parties only serve as reminders of their sadness and the void left by their absence. Without the presence of their ex-lover, they don't know how to enjoy these activities or find fulfillment in them.
The emotional depth of the lyrics is further highlighted in the lines, "Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain, I need your sweet love to beat all the pain." Here, the singer compares their need for their ex-partner's love to the essential elements required for a rose to thrive. The absence of their love is causing emotional pain, and the singer acknowledges that their healing and happiness are dependent on their ex-lover's return.
The song concludes with the singer expressing their open and unwavering availability to their ex-partner: "Just waiting for you, I just know what else to do." Despite the heartache and confusion, they are still willing to be there for their ex-lover and await their return. Their love for the person remains strong, and they hope for a reunion, indicating that they are willing to put their own uncertainty aside to be with them again.
