Boyzone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running out of time
Running out of easy ways
Of things to say
Nothing left but goodbye
Baby, please forgive me
If I act so surprised
I thought that we were stronger than that
I though that we would fight it little harder than we did
To find a way to just keep hanging on
I can't believe it's gone
I got to learn to take it
I got to learn to breathe
Right now I'm feeling faithless
In graceless arms
But I got to learn to believe
That it happened for a reason
But it's just too hard to see
I thought that we were stronger than that
I thought that we were stronger than that
I thought that we would fight it little harder than we did
How do we get from there to nowhere?
How can you just stop and say you don't care?
When I know that you used to do
How come those just come so easy
After all that we've been through?
I thought we were stronger than that
I thought we were stronger than that
I thought we would fight a little harder than we did
To find a way to just keep hanging on
Running out of options
Running out of time
These lyrics tell the story of a relationship that is coming to an end, despite the singer's belief that they were stronger than that. They are running out of options and time, and struggling to find the right words to say. The singer seems to be grappling with feelings of faithlessness and gracelessness, and struggling to understand why the relationship had to end. They thought that they would be able to fight for the relationship, but in the end, it simply was not enough. The singer is left feeling lost and bewildered, wondering how they could go from being so close to ending up with nothing.
The song's chorus is particularly poignant, as the repetition of the line "I thought we were stronger than that" highlights the singer's shock and dismay at the end of the relationship. They thought that their love was powerful enough to overcome any obstacle, but they were proven wrong. The lyrics also touch on themes of forgiveness, belief, and acceptance – the singer knows that they must learn to forgive their partner, learn to believe in the future, and accept that the relationship is over. Ultimately, the song is a powerful exploration of the pain and confusion of heartbreak.
