What Can I Do
Xceon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you said"I need you"
I gave you all, all I had.
But now you are gone,
Left me with the empty night.

When you said"I love you"
I loved you more, but It's all in vain.
I can stand alone, I know, I can stand alone.

So, good bye.

How could I put up with you for so long？
Don't wanna know.
I've decided to stop telling you"It's all right."
I know you will never understand someones pain.
Please let me alone I don't need you anymore, change my way.

I'll take my way.

Busy days,
Crowded trains,
Can't get off, that's insane.
The weather is unsettled.
Don't forget, it will rain.
My favorite umbrella,
I left it at your home.
I saw a pretty girl,
Hold it tight in the train.
How come？
You know,
That was mine！

When you said"I need you"I gave you all, all I had.
But now you are gone, left me with the empty night.
When you said"I love you"I loved you more but It's all in vain.
I will let you go, never think about you again.
So, good bye.

Take my way.

How could I put up with you for so long？ Don't wanna know.
I've decided to
Stop telling you"It's all right."
I know you will never
Understand
Someones pain.
Please let me alone I don't need you anymore,
Change my way.

I'll take my way.

When you said"I need you"I gave you all, all I had.
But now you are gone,
Left me with the empty night.
When you said"I love you"I loved you more.
What can I do？

Please let me alone
I don't need you anymore, take my way.
