All Eyes On Me
Strings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now

Well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face, oh

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face

Take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against the odds




And it's what I've got to face
Take a look at me now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "All Eyes on Me" by Strings Feat Keith Sweat tells the story of a heartbroken individual who is staring into an empty space after their loved one walks away, leaving without a trace. The singer is torn apart as they try to come to terms with the fact that the only person that can truly understand them is gone. The singer then reminisces on the good and bad times shared with the significant other, as they were the only one who really knew them at all.


The second verse of the song speaks more about the singer's deep feelings for the loved one as they wish they could change their mind and turn around to see them. They express how much they need to say to the loved one and so many reasons why they matter so much to them. They then reconcile with the fact that waiting for them is all they can do, and they will still stand in the same place waiting for their loved one, even though the odds of them coming back are against them.


Line by Line Meaning

How can I just let you walk away,
I'm struggling to accept that you're leaving and I can't just watch you go without feeling heartbroken.


Just let you leave without a trace?
I feel like you're disappearing from my life and it hurts that I won't be able to find you again.


When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh
Being close to you has become a part of my everyday life and it will be hard to adjust to not having you around anymore.


You're the only one who really knew me at all
Out of everyone I've ever met, you're the only one who has truly understood me and my deepest thoughts and emotions.


How can you just walk away from me
It hurts that you're able to leave so easily, while I'm still struggling to come to terms with it.


When all I can do is watch you leave?
I feel powerless to stop you from leaving, and it's devastating to just stand by and watch you go.


'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
We've been through so much together, the good times and the bad, and it's hard to imagine life without you.


And even shared the tears
We've comforted each other in our darkest moments and cried together, which makes it even harder to say goodbye.


You're the only one who really knew me at all
Again, I can't stress enough how much you've meant to me and how you're the only person who really understands me.


So take a look at me now
I want you to see how devastated I am without you, and how much I miss you.


Well there's just an empty space
Without you, my life feels incredibly empty and lonely.


And there's nothing left here to remind me
All of the things that we used to share together are now gone, which makes it even harder to move on.


Just the memory of your face
The one thing I still have left of you is my memories of you, and I hold onto them tightly.


But to wait for you is all I can do
I know it's unlikely, but I can't help but hold out hope that one day you'll come back to me.


And that's what I've got to face
Even though it's painful, I know that I need to accept that it's unlikely we'll be reunited, and this is my reality.

I went to Cancun in 2007. When we got on the bus to the hotel, I took out my iPod and portable player and played this full volume. All 50+ passengers were bouncing all over the place. They loved it.
