Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know not how or when to start
I only know I'm here without you
There's pins and needles in my heart
Well, the days and nights are growing longer
Since first you said that we must part
And now you're smiling at another
I know not where on earth to find you
I know not how or when to start
I only know I'm here without you
There's pins and needles in my heart
I know not where on earth to find you
I know not how or when to start
I only know I'm here without you
There's pins and needles in my heart
I know not where on earth to find you
I know not how or when to start

I know not where on earth to find you
I have no idea where you are and how to locate you
I know not how or when to start
I'm clueless about how to begin searching for you
I only know I'm here without you
I am aware that I am alone without you
There's pins and needles in my heart
I feel sharp emotional pain and anxiety due to the loss of you
Well, the days and nights are growing longer
Time feels longer and more agonizing since you left
Since first you said that we must part
Ever since you told me about leaving, time has been unbearable
And now you're smiling at another
Seeing you happy with someone else is hurting me deeply
And there's pins and needles in my heart
My emotional pain is only intensifying over time
