Loving You Still
Tamia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fell in love, had everything that I wanted
What a life for me
Now a thing don't mean nothing
Since we've parted
Meant the world to me
And though my heart's still beatin'
When will I breathe again?
And when will someone wake me from

This awful dream I'm in

If you could see the way I live my life
If you could see the way I cry at night
If you could understand the reasons why
That I'm loving you still
If you could hear me when I call your name
You gotta know it's driving me insane
I know I'll never ever love again
'Cause I'm loving you still

I had someone watch over me, my protector
Kept me safe and warm
I had someone makin' love to me, I thought forever
But forever now is gone
So I spend my days pretending, I spend my nights alone
I've never missed somebody so, I've never loved so strong

If you could see the way I live my life
If you could see the way I cry at night
If you could understand the reasons why
That I'm loving you still
If you could hear me when I call your name
You gotta know it's driving me insane
I know I'll never ever love again
'Cause I'm loving you still

And now that you have gone away
Lord knows that I, that I must pray
That we will meet again
But until then, oh

You could see the way I live my life
If you could see the way I cry at night
If you could understand the reason why
That I'm loving you still
Could hear me when I call your name
It's driving me insane
You know I'll never ever love again
I'm loving you still

Live my life
Cry at night
You could understand the reason why
That I'm loving you, I'm loving you still
Could hear me when I call your name
It's driving me insane
You know I'll never ever love again
'Cause I'm loving you still

Live my life

Cry at night
Lovin' you still
