where do you go
Gypsy Kyss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do you go when you leave me alone
Is there someone else or somewhere else
You go to when you walk out the door
And if words were enough
Enough to hold you here
I'd speak in a language that longs
For love without all the fear
And I need to know
The road your thoughts wander on
But, when you're always leaving
It's hard to tell where you're coming from
Where do you go, where do you go
Where do you go when you leave me alone
Where do you go
How many times must you leave
How many times until you see
The longer it takes to find yourself
The sooner I'm lost behind 'yourself'
How much will it cost you
And how much will you spend
While you're walking on and on
I'll break before you bend
Sometimes, when I'm dreaming
I dream that you tell me




Tell me that you need me
And that you'll never leave

Line by Line Meaning

Where do you go when you leave me alone
I wonder where you go and who you see when you leave me by myself


Is there someone else or somewhere else
Are you with another person or at another place when you're not with me?


You go to when you walk out the door
Where do you head to when you leave the room?


And if words were enough
If only my words could make you stay


Enough to hold you here
Words that will make you stay with me


I'd speak in a language that longs
I would express myself in a way that shows my long-lasting love


For love without all the fear
My love for you is pure and free from any doubts


And I need to know
I want to understand


The road your thoughts wander on
What are the things that cross your mind when you're not with me?


But, when you're always leaving
It's hard to figure out where you're coming from if you're always going away


It's hard to tell where you're coming from
I am struggling to understand where you're headed and why you keep leaving


Where do you go, where do you go
Where do you run off to every time you leave?


How many times must you leave
How many times do I need to be alone before you come back to me?


How many times until you see
How many times do you need to leave before you realize how much you mean to me?


The longer it takes to find yourself
The longer you take to discover your true self


The sooner I'm lost behind 'yourself'
The more lost I'll become in the process


How much will it cost you
How much will it take from you to find what you're looking for?


And how much will you spend
How much time and effort will you devote to your journey?


While you're walking on and on
As you keep moving forward


I'll break before you bend
I'll be the one to suffer while you make your way


Sometimes, when I'm dreaming
There are moments when I dream


I dream that you tell me
I imagine that you confess to me


Tell me that you need me
Say that you can't live without me


And that you'll never leave
Promise that you'll always be by my side
