I Still Feel
C.R.I.$.I.$. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I've seen you
I breaks my heart knowing that you're gone
I'm left here crying and reeling from the pain
From the loss of you
My woman, my heaven, my rain
I just want to tell you
The moments we had were simply to fewAnd now I'm left with only the memories
I can still feel you
I can still feel you
The pain in my heart has broken me
I'm left a shell of what now
Is only memory
I had it so good
But only for a while
I've shattered pictures
And your lovely smile
I just want to tell you
The moments we had were simply to few
Now I'm left with only the memories
I can still feel you
I can still feel you
I can still feel you
I can still feel you
I can still feel you here my love

Baby it's been so long
It has been a considerable amount of time since I last saw you
Since I've seen you
Since the moment I laid eyes on you
It breaks my heart knowing that you're gone
The sorrow I feel because of your absence is overwhelming
I'm left here crying and reeling from the pain
I am left in a state of deep emotional distress and suffering
From the loss of you
Because you are no longer here with me
My woman, my heaven, my rain
You were everything to me, my love, my happiness, my comfort
I just want to tell you
I wish I could express my feelings to you
The moments we had were simply too few
The time we spent together feels insufficient now
And now I'm left with only the memories
All I have left are memories of our time together
I can still feel you
I still feel your presence and influence in my life
The pain in my heart has broken me
The emotional pain I feel has completely shattered me
I'm left a shell of what now is only memory
I am left as a mere shell of the person I used to be, living through memories
I had it so good
I was so happy and content with you
But only for a while
It was only a temporary happiness
I've shattered pictures
I have destroyed physical representations of our past together
And your lovely smile
Including memories of your beautiful smile
I can still feel you here my love
I continue to feel your love and presence with me, even though you are gone
