Whatever
Ira May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Creeping like shapes along the walls
Life fades to gray, why must I pay
For giving my heart away
But whatever it may take
However my heart breaks
I′ll keep singing in the rain 'til your back again
You left a hole deep in my soul
Leaving my world so cold
But standing eye to eye
I still wonder why we had to say goodbye
And whatever it may take
However my heart breakes
I′ll keep singing in the rain 'til your back again
And whoever that changed your mind
Whoever that makes you blind
I'll keep waiting here for you
All I ventured but nothing gained
I′m walking through the rain
Trying to keep a fading flame alive
Help!
Help me
Baby I′m lonely oh so lonely
Will I ever feel your love again
Am I really losing you my friend
Your absent talking your missing light
Make's me lonely on a Saturday night
And whatever it may take
However my heart breakes
I′ll keep singing in the rain 'til your back again
And whoever that changed your mind
Whoever that makes you blind
I′ll keep waiting here for you

You made me crawl feeling so small
You caused me to feel vulnerable and insignificant
Creeping like shapes along the walls
Moving stealthily and unnoticed, like shadows on the wall
Life fades to gray, why must I pay
My life loses its vibrance and joy, and I wonder why I have to suffer
For giving my heart away
For opening up and giving my love to you
But whatever it may take
No matter what sacrifices are required
However my heart breaks
Regardless of the pain and heartache I endure
I'll keep singing in the rain 'til your back again
I will continue to express my emotions and hope for your return, even in difficult times
You left a hole deep in my soul
Your departure created a profound emptiness within me
Leaving my world so cold
Leaving me feeling isolated and emotionally desolate
But standing eye to eye
When we face each other directly
I still wonder why we had to say goodbye
I continue to question the reasons behind our separation
And whoever that changed your mind
And whoever influenced you to change your perspective
Whoever that makes you blind
Whoever causes you to be oblivious to the truth
I'll keep waiting here for you
I will patiently remain here, hoping for your return
All I ventured but nothing gained
Despite my efforts and risks, I gained nothing
I'm walking through the rain
I am enduring hardship and adversity
Trying to keep a fading flame alive
Attempting to preserve a dwindling passion or connection
Help!
An expression of desperation or a plea for assistance
Help me
A direct request for help
Baby I'm lonely oh so lonely
My loneliness is overwhelming and deeply felt
Will I ever feel your love again
Will I have the privilege of experiencing your love once more
Am I really losing you my friend
Is our friendship truly coming to an end
Your absent talking your missing light
The absence of our conversations and your radiant presence
Makes me lonely on a Saturday night
Leads me to feel lonely, especially on Saturday nights
And whoever that changed your mind
And whoever influenced you to change your perspective
Whoever that makes you blind
Whoever causes you to be oblivious to the truth
I'll keep waiting here for you
I will patiently remain here, hoping for your return
