Darlin’ I, I can’t explain
Why is he lost for words all of a sudden? Did they just have a fight that he couldn’t win? Did he just say something that he couldn’t take back? Was he being triggered by something else — not her? — But somehow, in those moments of reactionary bickering, hurtful words spat out?! — Maybe he didn’t even realise he said something that triggered her — and in that moment, she didn’t know how else to react but to leave?
It’s a moment of helplessness. “I can’t explain” — why is this so difficult a problem to solve? What has happened?! All of a sudden?! There’s no way to explain this?! Because he’s missing some information — there’s something else that she’s holding onto, she’s confiscated the key to her heart.
“Darlin” — the very first word of this song — she is his darling. But, in his moment of self-awareness, “I” — I — I?!?! Me?!?! Who am I?!?!!? I haven’t grasped this yet — am I in between a boy and a man? Because — I haven’t found the words yet?
Where did we lose our way?
How is it possible that it all fell apart so quickly?! From a bright and happy future together, to it all being taken away for seemingly no logical reasons?! What happened?! Why is she gone?! Why has she left?!
Is this triggering his inner child? Was he abandoned?! In earliest memories?
Or was it hers? Did he do or say something that triggered her fears? Her traumas?
What point was it, even?! Was it the most recent moment? Or was it an accumulation? There’s so many questions — “Where” — at what point?! Let me find the cause of the wound so that I can find the antidote, the balm to soothe. But no, she has removed herself with no answers at all.
Girl it’s drivin’ me insane
He can’t think of this solution.
How could he? It doesn’t matter how much he tries to solve this — he’s missing information.
Information that she is withholding — whether purposely or not.
She might not even know what she’s going through herself — there’s a whole other point of view song that she could sing…
And I know I just need one more chance
He is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER — ever going to give up on her. On them. On this relationship. He’s so determined, the resolve is right there, “just need one more chance” — let him prove himself. Let him solve whatever it is.
She did slam the door on that chance…
To prove my love to you
He needed to find her Love Language — how could she have received his love if he didn’t speak her language? He wants to know it and he needs to know it otherwise she’ll never truly receive it.
The “proof” is in the message being correctly received.
If she didn’t receive it, she didn’t feel loved. She couldn’t understand his love language. She probably assumed it was based on lust.
And if you come back to me
He’s wishing on this song. “IF” — please, please, please, please… come back to me…
I’ll guarantee
He just won’t ever give up. There’s no such thing as giving up. It’s a GUARANTEE. He’s not letting her go ever again in any possible way.
That I’ll never let you go
SHE’S NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE!!! — He loves her that much.
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
It was a beautiful relationship. From his perspective, everything was good. The love was strong. There was depth to it. There was a real connection. Blissful memories.
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
What, happened?! It was PERFECT from his perspective — why couldn’t she see it that way? Why didn’t she see it that way? He really needs these answers…
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
Don’t even bother asking mutual friends because they will just further confuse the situation. Probably needed a marriage counsellor or someone professional like that…
The way they use to be?
He really misses their happy times…
Oh God give me a reason
It’s such a shock to the system… why is she gone?
Nobody is helpful. No matter who he talks to — they don’t have any answers either. Nothing helpful or practical. Only God knows what’s really going on with her because she’s keeping it all to herself…
I’m down on bended knee
He’s… totally… shattered, deflated… but not defeated… him writing this song, is him not giving up…
So many nights I dream of you
Okay, now it’s been probably more than a day that she’s gone… he’s really missing her a lot, especially at night time — no day job to distract him momentarily…
Holding my pillow tight
There’s no other comfort…
And I know I don’t need to be alone, yeah
She’s only with him now, in his memories and imagination…
When I open up my eyes
Unfortunately, reality…
To face reality
He has to face that she’s not actually there…
Every moment without you
Existing in this stranded feeling…
It seems like eternity
He is completely alone in his limbo… he will not accept the relationship is dead. But neither is the relationship alive…
He’s basically a ghost living in purgatory.
I’m begging you, begging you come back to me
This ghost is not going to give up!!!
He might even return to his body and force his body to get her back into his life. He’ll do whatever it takes.
“Begging” — I’ll do anything to manifest this.
Baby, I’m sorry
— The deep voice — here??!?!?!!?!
WHAT IS THIS MASCULINITY?!?!!??!!?!? ^0^
This is WHAT WOMEN WANT TO HEAR!!! Michael McCary you just melted every straight woman on the planet!!!!
It’s what every woman wants to hear in a voice message! Or face to face. Doesn’t matter. In a song?!?! If he must, if he can’t do it any other way but to send it to her in a song and Michael McCary has a deeper, smoother voice than the actual guy in real life to MELT her?!?!?!?!?!?!
Please forgive me for all the wrong I’ve done
He’s probably not even that wrong but the fact that he’s willing to say it… say it like this…
Please come back home, girl
(Me as the listener) — I’m already melted by this lyric. I’ve forgive him already. By this point in the song, I’m a goner. I’m done. Okay! I FORGIVE YOU!!!
I know you put all your trust in me
(Still me, as the listener) — This is a nice to know. It’s nice that he can acknowledge it. But really, he’s already forgiven even if he doesn’t know it yet.
I’m sorry I let you down
This will open up her heart to actually EXPLAIN herself… what the fuck happened?!??!
He just needs to keep digging, and re-iterating in another lyric…
Please forgive me
(Sigh) — OKAY — I, as the listener, would’ve been ready to explain by the end of this song. The forgiveness already happened three lyrics ago, but this one further request — allows a woman to feel safe to open up again…
I’m gonna swallow my pride
Yes, that is evident with the song. This song would not be sung by a man who is too proud. This song would not be sung by a man who’s not sorry.
Say I’m sorry
It’s also an apology language —
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
If he was even trying to help her see things from his point of view, it doesn’t even matter anymore. Because he needs to understand HER first. He needs to HEAR HER OUT — first.
So blame him, let’s agree HE is wrong, FIRST — so then the conversation can continue. So then she can feel safe again to be herself and to open up and explain everything.
I want a new life
Purgatory is not fun.
And I want it with you
If they’re not already married, he’s decided he wants to marry her. If they’re married and he’s still making these mistakes — they need to renew their vows! Refresh! Reset!
If you feel the same
He really wants her to come back… “IF” — so hopeful, so optimistic, still holding on…
Don’t ever let it go
The commitment is right there. There’s no other options from his perspective. Stay with him and never leave!!!
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
He still can’t understand why she had such a negative reaction to the point of completely giving up on this. He still doesn’t see how she saw it from her perspective in that moment that she was driven away.
How could he? He’s not her.
All he can do now is try to convince her that he’s going to be worth it. He’s going to be worth coming back to. He’s going to resolve whatever it is that triggered her in the first place. He’s never, ever, ever, ever, everrrrr giving up on her, everrrrrr!!!
It’ll heal all things
Whatever her wounds, he will be there to heal them together.
No, I don’t believe our love’s terminal
He’s not going to accept this existence. He’s determined to revive this. Give this relationship CPR.
I’m down on my knees begging you please come home
It’s his humility.
Also, the Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohme.… vibrato… ❤ ❤ ❤
HE’S SO FRUSTRATED!!! HE LOVES HER SO MUCH!!! WHAT ELSE CAN HE DO BUT KEEP SWAYING BETWEEN THOSE NOTES TO EXPRESS HIMSELF?!?!?!
He’s literally crying out for her — through SONG — to COME HOME!!!
IF SHE REALLY IS HIS SOUL MATE — SHE FEELS THIS IN HER SOUL………………
The MUSICAL VIBRATION and FREQUENCY —
THAT. IS THE POINT. WHERE HER SOUL. KNOWS.
