Scratch My Soul
Belleruche Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not giving up on you
I'm giving up on us
'Cause I'm so damn lonely again
And you're so out of touch

Is it not obvious
Not clear enough
That this won't do
This waiting on you

I know you want to be, but you ain't
I know you'd like to be, but you can't
I know you would do, but you don't
So tell me where it leaves me
It leaves me without you

You say you don't understand
And say we will be fine
Deny we got a problem on our hands
But none the less apologise
But before you do, come and understand why

I know you want to be, but you ain't
I know you'd like to be, but you can't
I know you would do, but you don't
So tell me where it leaves me
It leaves me without you
Oh without you

You may be something to so many
And say you want to be everything to me
I've been calling out to you
But you don't hear

And now my hands are tied
And I cry at the thought of losing you
But I'm lonely with or without you

I know you want to be, but you ain't
I know you'd like to be, but you can't
I know you would do, but you don't
So tell me where it leaves me
Oh yeah
I know you want to be, but you ain't
I know you'd like to be, but you can't
I know you would do, but you don't
So tell me where it leaves me
Oh yeah tell me where it leaves me




Oh well tell me where it leaves me
It leaves me without you

Line by Line Meaning

I'm not giving up on you
I haven't stopped hoping for you


I'm giving up on us
But our relationship isn't working


'Cause I'm so damn lonely again
And I'm feeling alone all over again


And you're so out of touch
And you seem so disconnected


Is it not obvious
Isn't it easy to see


Not clear enough
But maybe I need to explain more


That this won't do
That things can't continue like this


This waiting on you
I can't go on waiting forever


I know you want to be, but you ain't
I understand you wish you could be, but you're not


I know you'd like to be, but you can't
I realize you may want to, but you're incapable


I know you would do, but you don't
I get that you have the ability, but you're not taking action


So tell me where it leaves me
So what does this mean for me?


It leaves me without you
It means I'm left without you


You say you don't understand
You claim you don't comprehend


And say we will be fine
And suggest we'll work things out


Deny we got a problem on our hands
You dispute that we're facing issues


But none the less apologise
But regardless, you still say you're sorry


But before you do, come and understand why
But first, try to comprehend what's really happening


You may be something to so many
You must mean so much to others


And say you want to be everything to me
And claim you want to be everything to me


I've been calling out to you
But I keep reaching out to you


But you don't hear
And yet, you don't seem to listen


And now my hands are tied
And now I feel powerless


And I cry at the thought of losing you
And I'm heartbroken by the idea of losing you


But I'm lonely with or without you
But the truth is, I'm lonely either way


Oh yeah


It leaves me without you
It means I'm without you


Oh well tell me where it leaves me
So please let me know where this leaves me
