Nothing To Lose
Dying Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'll settle for your kiss
When the morning comes, after a long
Night out on your porch
And the rain it brings
Back memories
Of the late night walks, just you and me
Months of time well spent
Better than them all
So I gave you my all
Just to notice you were gone
And countless weeks have passed
And I still can't let you go
But I gave you my all
Just to notice you were gone
You left me broken down
You cared for me at all
Well I've felt better than right now
I'm hoing this will pass somehow
There's no chance to clear,
Unless you are here
Standing by my side
And the clock strikes three
Where are you dear
Your so far away
Yet you feel so near
I'm waiting by the phone
So I can hear your voice
So I gave you my all
Just to notice you were gone
And countless weeks have passed
And I still can't let you go
But I gave you my all
Just to notice you were gone
You left me broken without
A care for me at all
So I gave you my all
Just to notice you were gone
And countless weeks have passed
And I still can't let you go
But I gave you my all
Just to notice you were gone
You left me broken without
A care for me at all
Look me into my eyes
And promise me you'll stay

Well I've had better nights than this
I have experienced more joyful moments than this one
But I'll settle for your kiss
I am willing to accept a simple gesture of affection from you
When the morning comes, after a long
Referring to a future time when the night is over
Night out on your porch
Having spent time with you in your home's outdoor space at night
And the rain it brings
The current rainfall prompts an emotion in me
Back memories
Memories from the past resurfaced in my mind
Of the late night walks, just you and me
Memories of when we used to take walks together at night
Months of time well-spent
We had quality time together over several months
With hopes to be
We had aspirations for the future
Better than them all
We wanted our relationship to be better than others
So I gave you my all
I put all my effort and affection towards you
Just to notice you were gone
To only realize you had left me
And countless weeks have passed
Many weeks have gone by since that moment
And I still can't let you go
I am still attached and unable to move on from you
You left me broken down
Your departure left me feeling shattered and overwhelmed

There's no way to fix or clear up our situation
Unless you are here
Unless you physically return to my presence
Standing by my side
Being close to me and giving me comfort
And the clock strikes three
Time moves forward and several hours have passed
Where are you dear
Asking the location or presence of a loved one
Your so far away
Geographically, you are distant from me
Yet you feel so near
Although you are not physically close, I feel emotionally connected to you
I'm waiting by the phone
I am eagerly anticipating a phone call from you
So I can hear your voice
I long to hear your tone, your words, your presence in my life
Look me into my eyes
Make eye contact with me
And promise me you'll stay
Affirm that you will remain present in our relationship
