On and On
Nick Lachey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart still beats for you
In your eyes I see the lie
What can I do, I'll try my best to walk away
So I don't have to feel the pain
It goes on and on, on and on
And this emptiness I feel goes on and on
On and on
On and on
When this love I feel for you is oh so strong
On and on, on and on
Why can't I feel your heartbeat next to mine
The way it used to be
I love that purpose that's so right
I need you to see I try my best to walk away
But I just can't ignore the pain
It goes on and on, on and on
And this emptiness I feel goes on and on, on and on
As I cry myself to sleep I just can't go on
On and on
When this love I feel for you is oh so strong
On and on, on and on
Can I find a way to let you know
Could I ever make you see
Baby you took my soul and took my heart
But the pain you left all for me
It goes on and on
On and on
And this emptiness I feel, it goes on and on, on and on
As I cry myself to sleep I just can't go on,
On and on
When this love I feel for you is oh so strong
On and on, on and on
You've got someone else to share your nights
I guess it's meant to be
In your eyes I see the lie
But the light's not from me
I turn around and walk away
But I'll never escape the pain
It goes on and on, on and on
It goes on and on.
The lyrics to "On And On" by Nick Lachey express the pain and heartbreak caused by a love that has come to an end. As the darkness of the night falls, the singer feels their heart beating only for their former lover. They try to walk away, but the love they feel for this person is too strong. They are unable to ignore the pain and the emptiness that washes over them, causing them to cry themselves to sleep. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "on and on," emphasizing the singer's feeling of being trapped in an endless cycle of heartache.
The bridge of the song offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer wonders if they can find a way to let their former lover know how they feel. However, they acknowledge that the pain left behind by this person will continue to haunt them. In the final verse, the singer acknowledges that their former lover has moved on to someone else, but they still can't escape the pain. The light in their lover's eyes no longer shines for them, and they turn and walk away, knowing that the pain will continue endlessly.
The lyrics are a poignant expression of the heartache and pain that can come with lost love, and many listeners can likely relate to the emotions expressed in the song. The repetition of the phrase "on and on" drives home the sense of endlessness and repetition that the singer feels, underscoring the feeling of being trapped in their emotions.
