Back to Me
Syreen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I talk to myself, can't let go.
You must know
I want you so much
By my side.
My hands on my heart,
I try to calm the pain inside
I might never understand...
I see you...
See your smile...
I feel you...
Feel your love...
Chorus
Now, go, baby, go,
Give me my heart back, give it back to me -
Please, stay, baby, stay,
I miss you so, won't you come back to me?
Your voice in my head
I'd say that you've lied to me
'cause I can't see,
What's love to be
If not stand by my side.
I watch walk away,
Hurt, scared, wondering why
You let your feelings die,
Don't you deny
The scared child in yourself?
I see you, everywhere we've been together,
I see your eyes, see your mouth, see your smile.
I feel you, when I close my eyes, my baby,
I feel your hands, feel your lips, feel your love.
Chorus
So I let time pass by.
I get stronger every day,
You drift away, my love,
Don't stay
No longer in my life!
No more tears in my face,
My eyes dry, I see clear again,
Thought you're a strong man,
Saw you pretend,
I'm stronger by myself!
Chorus
Now, go, baby, go,
Give me my heart back, give it back to me -
Don't stay, please don't stay,
I let you go, please don't come back to me!
The lyrics to Syreen's song Back To Me talk about a woman who is trying to let go and move on from a past relationship that has left her heartbroken. She talks to herself trying to calm the pain inside, but it seems that she can't shake off the memories of the past. Even when she closes her eyes, she can see and feel her lover's presence, and the longing to have him by her side is overwhelming. She tries to convince herself that she was lied to but is unsure of what love is supposed to be if not standing by each other's side.
Despite her struggles, she eventually finds the strength to move on and become stronger. She doesn't want the past to hold her back and realizes that she is better off without him. Syreen's message seems to suggest that the only way to move on from heartbreak is to let go, no matter how hard it may seem initially.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone struggling to come to terms with a failed relationship while coming to the realization that they are stronger by themselves.
