Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you see me, I stand before your eyes
Here in pieces, let me in your mind
When did love fade, why are we at war
Where did we fall, where did we go wrong
Have we lost it all?

Oh, I let you go to feel the light outside
Oh, I, without you, I just feel

I just feel so alive

I can define where the well ran dry
I remember every tear I cried
Memories of lies, wasted all this time
Now we've lost it all

Oh, I let you go to feel the light outside
Oh, I, without you, I just feel so alive
There must be more to life
Than I just left behind
Oh, I, without you, I just feel
I just feel so alive

I step into sunlight
Fueled by rage and delight
There's no place for weakness
I'll forget your sweet kiss

Oh, I let you go to feel the light outside
Oh, I, without you, I just feel so alive
There must be more to life
Than I just left behind

Oh, I, without you, I just feel
I just feel so alive

Line by Line Meaning

Do you see me, I stand before your eyes
I am present before you, can you perceive me?

Here in pieces, let me in your mind
I am in fragments, allow me to enter your thoughts

When did love fade, why are we at war
When did our affection disappear, why are we in conflict?

Where did we fall, where did we go wrong
Where did we stumble and make a mistake?

Have we lost it all?
Have we forfeited everything?

Oh, I let you go to feel the light outside
I released you to perceive the illumination beyond

Oh, I, without you, I just feel I just feel so alive
I experience vitality when I am without you

I can define where the well ran dry
I can identify where our source of nourishment stopped flowing

I remember every tear I cried
I recollect every droplet shed from my eyes

Memories of lies, wasted all this time
Reminiscences of falsehoods squandered all this time

Now we've lost it all
Currently, we have lost everything

There must be more to life Than I just left behind
There has to be more to existence than what I abandoned

I step into sunlight Fueled by rage and delight There's no place for weakness I'll forget your sweet kiss
I enter into the sun's rays energized by anger and happiness, there is no space for fragility, I will overlook your tender smooch

Oh, I, without you, I just feel so alive
I experience vibrancy when I am without you
