Leave You Lonely
Too Close To Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm better off, better off, I don′t need you
Someday soon
I'll be gone for good
Careful
Overthinking's made me spiteful, oh well
I′m done
And this downward spiral
Don′t you know that I can see you fading?
One can only take so much
Don't you wish I couldn′t see you breaking apart?
Guess it means you've lost your touch
I′ve finally realized
I'm better off, better off without you
I′m better off, better off, I don't need you
Someday soon
I'll be gone for good
Let me
Say the things I couldn′t mention, oh well
I′m done
Feeling pity for your problems when you need attention
Don't you know that I can see you fading?
One can only take so much
I′m better off, better off without you
I'm better off, better off, I don′t need you
Someday soon
I'll be gone for good
I think it′s time that I'm alone
And truth be told, I know it's wrong
That I keep reliving the memories in my way
But I can′t stop (I cannot stop)
I think it′s time that I'm alone
And truth be told, I know it′s wrong (it's wrong)
I keep reliving the memories in my way
I finally realized
I′m better off, better off without you
I'm better off, better off, I don′t need you
Someday soon
I'll be gone for good
I'm better off, better off without you
I′m better off, better off, I don′t need you
Someday soon
I'll be gone for good
The lyrics to "Leave You Lonely" by Too Close to Touch can be interpreted as a breakup song, with the singer expressing that they are better off without their significant other. The first line of the chorus, "I'm better off, better off without you," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's desire to move on and break away from the cycle they have been stuck in. The verse mentions the singer's overthinking and feeling spiteful due to being part of their partner's cycle, which could indicate that they feel suffocated and drained in the relationship. The lines "Don't you know that I can see you fading? One can only take so much" suggest that their partner's behavior and struggles have become too much for the singer to handle.
The second verse indicates that the singer wants to speak their mind and be honest with their partner about their feelings, but they are done feeling pity for their problems and need for attention. The bridge reveals that the singer knows they need to be alone, but they cannot stop reliving memories in their own way. The repetition of the chorus indicates that they have finally realized that they are better off without their partner and will soon be leaving for good.
Overall, the song expresses the emotional journey of realizing a relationship is no longer working and breaking away from it, even though it may be difficult and painful to do so.

You Are Toxic
Wish I had this song back when I broke up with my GF, but I listened to Impossible by I AM KING.
It helps the same way.
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did, I did
And now when all is done there is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won, you can go ahead tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal's worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know
And now when all is gone there is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did...
Guildmaster Maze

Amanda Burger
I've never heard someone convey emotion the way Keaton's voice does.... absolutely insane
Johnny Di
I wonder if you're the same Amanda Burger I knew in HS?? 🤔
I mean, I know that would be kinda crazy. And that there's probably more than one. Lol
But the way the world's been lately, with all the weird coincidences & synchronicities, I really wouldn't be super shocked. Either way, hope you're well. 🙂👌🏻
