Face to Face Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got something I want to say
All the things that you say and do girl
Don't you know that they're not my way
I don't like what you're running after
It's not me that you're thinking of
You forget what we've found together
You forget what we've found is love
The light in your eyes has faded
And your voice has another tone
I have cried all my tears already
Once again I am all alone
I got something I want to tell you
I got something I want to say
I got something I want to tell you
I got something I want to say

Line by Line Meaning
I've got something I want to tell you
I have a message for you that I need to share
I've got something I want to say
I need to express my thoughts and feelings to you
All the things that you say and do girl
Your words and actions are not consistent with my values and beliefs
Don't you know that they're not my way
You should realize that I do not agree with your behavior
I don't like what you're running after
I am not fond of your current pursuits
It's not me that you're thinking of
You are not considering my feelings and thoughts in your actions
You forget what we've found together
You have neglected to appreciate what we have built as a couple
You forget what we've found is love
You have not been valuing the love that we have established
The light in your eyes has faded
Your eyes no longer have the spark of excitement or love they used to
And your voice has another tone
Your tone of voice has changed, suggesting a shift in your emotions
I have cried all my tears already
I have already expended all of my emotions on this situation
Once again I am all alone
I feel isolated and left behind without any support or companionship
I got something I want to tell you
I still have something important I need to express to you
I got something I want to say
I am determined to share my message with you, no matter what
