Feel
Dan England Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I held her hands in the night
I told her everything would be alright
I searched her eyes for a sign
To see if she was shinning her love light

Then, she said I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
And I could not lead you on anymore

I could not breath, I could not speak
But, then I took a walk out in the air
I thought her love was mine to keep
Ah but, her words keep on ringing in my ears

She said I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
And I could not lead you on anymore

Ooh ooh

Many nights I was alone
Then I learned to live here with the walls
Ah then one day she's on the phone
Ah telling me she loves me after all

I said, I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
And I could not lead you on
I could not lead you on anymore





Ooh ooh

Line by Line Meaning

I held her hands in the night
I clasped her hands tenderly in the darkness of the night


I told her everything would be alright
I uttered words to assure her that things will be fine


I searched her eyes for a sign
I gazed keenly into her eyes, seeking a signal


To see if she was shinning her love light
To determine if her affection for me was still ablaze


Then, she said I just don't feel that way no more
Suddenly, she blurted out that her feelings for me have dwindled


And the way to my heart is closed door
She shut the entrance to her heart, leaving me outside


Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
It's impossible to revive something that's already dead, that's certain


And I could not lead you on anymore
I couldn't deceive or give false hope to you any longer


I could not breath, I could not speak
I felt suffocated, speechless with pain


But, then I took a walk out in the air
But then I went outside to get some fresh air


I thought her love was mine to keep
I believed that her love for me was permanent


Ah but, her words keep on ringing in my ears
However, her words still echo in my mind


Many nights I was alone
For many nights, I felt solitary


Then I learned to live here with the walls
I became accustomed to my lonely dwelling place


Ah then one day she's on the phone
Then suddenly, she called me on the phone


Ah telling me she loves me after all
And she finally admitted that she still loves me


I said, I just don't feel that way no more
I responded to her profession of love by telling her my feelings had changed as well


And the way to my heart is closed door
Simply put, I no longer have any romantic interest in her


I could not lead you on anymore
I would not pretend or give false hope to her again

Thanks for the video, this song is one of my favorites from Dan Seals and hard to find. The late great Dan Seals was the complete package, singer, songwriter, and musician, he was a good guitarist and pianoman, could sing lead or backup harmonies and was a prolific songwriter. He's one of the Elite!
