Just My Love
Mr. Given Raw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's late at night and neither one of us is sleeping
I can't imagine living my life after you're gone
Wondering why so many questions have no answers
I keep on searching for the reason why we went wrong

Where is our yesterday
You and I could use it right now
But if this is goodbye

Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Here we are about to take the final step now
I just can't fool myself, I know there's no turning back
Face to face it's been an endless conversation
But when the love is gone you're left with nothing but talk

I'd give my everything
If only I could turn you around
But if this is goodbye

Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore

I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Though he would give anything to turn things around, he knows that it's too late. The chorus of the song is a plea to his partner to take his heart with her when she goes, because he can't bear the thought of living without her, but he knows that she's too hard to hold on to.
