This Is A Song
The Magic Numbers Lyrics

I don't wanna tell her
The singer doesn't want to express their feelings to this woman

No, I don't wanna tell her
They really don't want to tell her

I lie awake in the dark
The singer can't sleep and is consumed by their thoughts and emotions

Lost in the beat of my heart
The artist is deeply affected by their strong emotions and feelings

Well baby, look over your shoulder
The artist is reaching out to the woman and trying to connect with her

You're not alone in this love
The singer is expressing their affection and desire for the woman

That I've been thinking of you
The singer has been consumed by thoughts of this woman

Lost in the things that you do
They are caught up in the woman's actions and behavior

Maybe it's over
The artist acknowledges that their relationship with the woman might be over

But over is not a word that you know
The artist doesn't believe the woman is ready to face the end of the relationship

And if it hurts me baby
The singer is willing to endure pain if it means being with the woman

You know why
They know why they are willing to suffer for love

I go it alone
The singer is prepared to handle their emotions alone

Hurt me baby if you like
The singer is willing to endure pain to be with the woman

It's already gone
The relationship is already over

I've been calling your name
The artist thinks about the woman often and wants her to be with them

Each time feels like it's in vain
The artist feels like their efforts to connect with the woman have been futile

I've been falling apart
The singer is struggling to cope with their emotions and the end of the relationship

Broke every rule from the start
The singer didn't follow traditional relationship conventions, perhaps leading to the end of the relationship

And it hurts me baby when you try
The artist is pained when the woman tries to handle the end of the relationship alone

To go it alone
The artist thinks the woman is not ready to handle the end of the relationship by herself

So you can hurt me baby if you like
The artist is willing to endure pain if it means being with the woman

This is a song
The singer is acknowledging that this is a song they are singing

And these are the words
The lyrics are the words the artist is using to express their emotions

Well I could be wrong
The singer doesn't know for sure if their interpretation of the situation is correct

Do you want to know why
The singer is asking the woman if she wants to know why they feel this way

Do you know why
The singer is asking the woman if she understands why they feel this way

Do you know
The artist is asking the woman if she knows how they feel

She goes why
The woman is asking why the artist feels the way they do
