No Way Out
John T. Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told her everything would be alright
I searched her eyes for a sign
To see if she was shinning her love light
Then, she said I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
I could not breath, I could not speak
But, then I took a walk out in the air
I thought her love was mine to keep
Ah but, her words keep on ringing in my ears
She said I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
And I could not lead you on anymore
Ooh ooh
Many nights I was alone
Then I learned to live here with the walls
Ah then one day she's on the phone
Ah telling me she loves me after all
I said, I just don't feel that way no more
And the way to my heart is closed door
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
And I could not lead you on
I could not lead you on anymore
Ooh ooh
In John T. Anderson's song "No Way Out," the singer is expressing his heartbreak after his love interest tells him that she no longer feels the same way about their relationship. The song opens with the singer holding her hands, telling her that everything will be okay, and searching her eyes to see if she still loves him. However, she tells him that her feelings have changed and the way to her heart is now a closed door. She cannot revive what is dead, and she cannot lead him on any longer. These words devastate the singer, leaving him unable to speak or breathe. He takes a walk to clear his head, but her words keep ringing in his ears.
The song then skips ahead to a time when the singer has learned to live alone with his walls. However, one day, the love interest calls him and tells him that she loves him after all. But the singer has already accepted that her love is gone and tells her that he cannot lead her on any longer. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the finality of their relationship: "And I could not lead you on anymore."
The song explores the pain and finality of lost love. The singer is willing to hold on to his love even when it seems lost, but he ultimately accepts that it's time to move on. The song's simple melody and melancholy lyrics set a reflective and introspective tone that captures the complex emotions of a breakup.

I held her hands in the night
I physically held her hands while it was dark outside
I told her everything would be alright
I reassured her and said that everything is going to be fine
I searched her eyes for a sign
I looked into her eyes to see if there was any indication of her feelings
To see if she was shinning her love light
To see if she still loves me and is showing me any signs of it
Then, she said I just don't feel that way no more
Then, she said that she doesn't love me anymore
And the way to my heart is closed door
I can't win her heart again because it's impossible
Ya can't revive what ain't alive that's fore sure
It's impossible to bring back something that's already dead
And I could not lead you on anymore
I couldn't keep giving you false hope and pretend to love you
I could not breath, I could not speak
I was so shocked that I couldn't breathe or speak
But, then I took a walk out in the air
But then I went for a walk outside to clear my head
I thought her love was mine to keep
I believed that she loved me and that our love was permanent
Ah but, her words keep on ringing in my ears
But her words keep replaying over and over in my head
Many nights I was alone
I spent many lonely nights by myself
Then I learned to live here with the walls
I learned how to live alone and be content with just the walls around me
Ah then one day she's on the phone
Then one day, she calls me on the phone
Ah telling me she loves me after all
Telling me that she still loves me despite what she said before
And I could not lead you on
I couldn't pretend anymore
I could not lead you on anymore
It would be wrong for me to continue to give you false hope

I don’t think people realise the trauma of being kidnapped, especially as a child.
The torment of the unknown, your security blanket taken away, the unknown from hour to hour, day by day not knowing what will become of you. Absolutely terrifying.
@itaz6276
It’s a daily occurrence for decades for the Palestinian children
@KingOfBboys
While I don't disagree with what you said there, I do hope you're sparing the same empathy for the children in Gaza. Children who have been afraid of themselves or their family's being struck down by bombs, which is a reality they've grown up with for their entire life.
@fali6723
Also said the Palestinian kidnapped child … agree!!!
@journees4300
As a father of a daughter I just couldn't imagine what this family had been through. I hope she will have all the support she could have for her recovery.
@itaz6276
Imagine the Palestinians parents that have been through this for years … the west doesn’t bother reporting on them and how they are abused
