Back To You
D-Side Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you have to say goodbye
And I won't say a single world
Or let you see me cry
You say your heart is breaking
And you can't go on this way
I need you more and more
You promised me forever
We'd never be apart
And though it's said a thousand times
You opend up my heart
But wise men never fall in love
So how was I to know
That you would steal my heart
And just go
Chorus:
If I had to run
If I had to fly
Just to find my way back to you
There is nothing I wouldn't do
If I had to cheat
If I had to lie
I would know the reason inside
There's nothing more that I have to do
Now I've found my way
Back to you
I'm waiting for that moment
Believe me when I say
That if you give it one more chance
Love will find a way
So let's get back together
'cos we were meant to be
And your love is so
Precious to me
Chorus
Here we are a little broken hearted
Face to face as if we never parted
Wishing on a star no matter where or how far
Don't you know our love comes tumbling down
Yeah it's tumbling down
Wherever you're not around

Line by Line Meaning
You tell me that you're sorry
You express remorse for the situation we are in
But you have to say goodbye
You have to leave me, even though you are sorry about it
And I won't say a single world
I will try to be strong and not show my emotions
Or let you see me cry
I won't let you see that I am hurt and upset
You say your heart is breaking
You tell me that you are in emotional pain
And you can't go on this way
You can't continue the relationship in its current state
I need you more and more
I long for you increasingly with each passing day
Everyday
Every day that goes by without you is hard for me
You promised me forever
You made a commitment to me that we would be together forever
We'd never be apart
We would always be together, never separated
And though it's said a thousand times
Although this sentiment is commonplace and trite
You opend up my heart
You allowed me to love and trust again
But wise men never fall in love
It is said that intelligent and prudent men don't have romantic feelings
So how was I to know
I didn't realize or anticipate that I would fall for you
That you would steal my heart
You would capture my emotions and affections completely
And just go
And then leave me, abandoning our relationship
If I had to run
If I had to go to great lengths, even if it meant physically running
If I had to fly
If I had to take flight, possibly to another location
Just to find my way back to you
To return to you, even if it meant overcoming great obstacles
There is nothing I wouldn't do
I am willing to do anything to be with you again
If I had to cheat
If I had to be unfaithful, possibly to someone else
If I had to lie
If I had to be dishonest and misrepresent things to others
I would know the reason inside
I would understand why I was doing these things, because of my love for you
There's nothing more that I have to do
I have exhausted all other options, and there is nothing else for me to do but return to you
Now I've found my way
Now I have discovered the path that leads me back to you
Back to you
Back to the person that I love and want to be with
I'm waiting for that moment
I am anticipating that special time when we will be reunited
Believe me when I say
Trust me, have faith in my words
That if you give it one more chance
If you allow us another opportunity to make things work
Love will find a way
Our love for each other will somehow overcome any obstacles
So let's get back together
Let's restart our relationship
'cos we were meant to be
Because our destiny is to be together
And your love is so
And your affection is incredibly
Precious to me
Important, valuable, and dear to me
Here we are a little broken hearted
We find ourselves in a state of emotional hurt and distress
Face to face as if we never parted
We are reunited and it feels like no time has passed at all
Wishing on a star no matter where or how far
We hold onto hope and dreams of being together, no matter the distance or difficulty
Don't you know our love comes tumbling down
Don't you understand that our relationship falls apart and suffers when we aren't together
Yeah it's tumbling down
Yes, things are deteriorating and getting worse
Wherever you're not around
Whenever you are not present, things are not right and I feel incomplete
