And It Feels Like
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every flower
Every word you ever said
I remember how we looked at each other
The very first time we met
I'll never forget
I remember every smile
Every kiss you gave to me
How we'd talk, and you'd hold me for hours
Until I'd fall fast asleep
You said you would always be there
Should I need your arms around me
But now that I've fallen to my knees
I don't think you give a damn about me
And it feels like
We're running out of time
And it feels like
I'm the last thing on your mind
Oh
I can touch your skin
I can hear you breathe
Baby, will you tell me what's wrong?
'Cause it feels like you're already gone
Did you leave in the middle of the night
And forget to say goodbye?
Did you feel it was time to go
But you didn't wanna see me cry?
It gets harder and harder
For me to believe
That you still love me
So get on with it, baby, if you're gonna leave
It's not worth saving
And it feels like
We're running out of time
And it feels like
I'm the last thing on your mind
Oh
I can touch your skin
I can hear you breathe
Baby, will you tell me what's wrong?
'Cause it feels like you're already gone
My heart is telling me it's too late
To beg you to stay
You wouldn't hear me anyway
Yeah!
And it feels like
We're running out of time
And it feels like
I'm the last thing on your mind
Oh
I can touch your skin
I can hear you breathe
Baby, will you tell me what's wrong?
'Cause it feels like you're already gone
You're already gone
Oh, yeah
'Cause it feels like
You're so gone
The song "And It Feels Like" by LeAnn Rimes is a heart-wrenching ballad that tells the story of a love that is coming to an end. The lyrics express the pain and confusion of the singer as she recalls every touch, every smile, every kiss, and every word her lover ever said to her. She remembers the first time they met, and how they talked and held each other for hours. She also remembers the promises her lover made to her, that he would always be there for her, but now that she needs him the most, he seems to be gone.
The chorus of the song is a plea for answers, as the singer is desperate to know what's wrong. She can still touch his skin and hear him breathe, but she can't feel his love anymore. She wonders if he left in the middle of the night, and forgot to say goodbye, or if he felt it was time to go but didn't want to see her cry. She is tired of waiting for him to come back to her, and her heart is telling her it's too late to beg him to stay.
The overall message of the song is one of loss and acceptance. The singer realizes that her relationship is over, and it's time for her to move on. She hopes that her former lover will tell her what went wrong, but she knows deep down that he has already gone.

But you didn't wanna see me cry?
I feel like you didn't want to confront the emotions and pain that would come with ending our relationship
It gets harder and harder
As time goes by, it's becoming more and more difficult for me to hold on and believe in our relationship
For me to believe
My faith in our relationship is dwindling, and I'm finding it hard to trust you
That you still love me
I'm doubting your feelings for me, and I need reassurance that you still love me
So get on with it, baby, if you're gonna leave
If you've already decided to leave, I'm urging you to do it and not string me along anymore
It's not worth saving
Our relationship is beyond repair, and it's not worth salvaging anymore
My heart is telling me it's too late
My emotions are telling me that our relationship has already reached its end and it's too late to save it
To beg you to stay
I'm past the point of begging you to stay in our relationship
You wouldn't hear me anyway
You're not in a place to listen to my pleas and my emotions, and there's nothing more I can do
Yeah!
An expression of my feelings of frustration and sadness
You're already gone
Our relationship is over, and you've already moved on emotionally and physically
Oh, yeah
Expressing the depth of my emotions and the pain I'm feeling
'Cause it feels like
I'm overwhelmed with emotions, and the feeling is too much to bear
You're so gone
You're completely and irrevocably gone from my life and our relationship

Chris Lee Carey
She's amazing it's sad how the country industry dismisses her because of her personal life and pop crossover singles!!! She's pure talent and she deserves to be recognized for her amazing legacy!!!
Timothy Lin
Are you kidding me?! That high note is totally insane!!!!! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear the song😻 Hope our queen could perform the song LIVE again to prove that she deserve to be recognized!
Darius Slomka
Awesome track. Why I never heard it before? She's such an underrated artist. Her music deserves a better promotion.

Not only does she look and sound amazing in this video. But her portrayal of her character is movie worthy. She conveyed every emotion the song had and brought it to life. I felt for her in the end. She’s amazing! Love this song!
Glenn Thomas
Wow! Just after the key change, the five long notes you sang (or should I say cried at the top of your voice, with heart-felt emotion) starting at 2:39 give me goose bumps every time I replay it. Absolutely stunning!
Mindy Baptist
