Lonely
Ira May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told you we can still be friends
Now I can do whatever I want to
The only thing that's missing is you
Your'e out of the door
Not coming back here anymore
How could I have been so sure?
I dont know I feel so lonely
You gave me a heart and I never gave it back to you
Now I'm caught in all these memories
'cause I'm just a fool
You wanted all and everything of me
Talk about a future I could not see
I didn't gave in time
You drove me out of my mind
I guess I was too scared
Not enough prepared
It was too much for me to bear
I dont know I feel so lonely
All of it's gone and I can't hold it
You gave me a heart and I never gave it back to you
Now I'm caught in all these memories
'cause I'm just a fool
All that is left
Is the memorie of you
You loved me so true
It's all too late
Oh ahead, now there's nothing I can do
I dont know I feel so lonely
All of it's gone and I can't hold it
You gave me a heart and I never gave it back to you
Now I'm caught in all these memories
'cause I'm just a fool
The lyrics to Ira May's song "Lonely" depicts the aftermath of a romantic relationship. The singer now finds herself alone, and she has to come to terms with the fact that her partner who she thought she had a future with is now out of the picture. At first, she tries to convince herself that they can still be friends, but as the reality of the situation sets in, she realizes that it is impossible. She acknowledges that she took her partner for granted and never gave her heart back. It is clear from the lyrics that she was not ready for the level of love and commitment that her partner wanted, and this led to the breakdown of their relationship. The singer is now left with memories of what used to be and regrets the way she handled things.
The song has a slow and melancholy tone that captures the loneliness and heartache that the singer is going through. The use of repetitive phrases such as "I don't know I feel so lonely" and "all of it's gone and I can't hold it" add to the emotional depth of the song. The lyrics are relatable, and anyone who has been through a breakup can identify with the feelings of regret and loneliness that the singer expresses.
