Let's do it, baby
Let's do it, baby
Let's do it, do it
Even if you were a million miles away
I can still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time, you were telling me lies, ay
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown, you made my body feel Heaven-bound
Why don't you hold me? Need me
I thought you told me, you'd never leave me
Looking in the sky I could see your face
Then I knew right where I fit in
Take me, make me
You know that I'll always be in love with you
Right, 'til the end, ohh
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream I'll just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you (oh, hold on)
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Oh, Lord
Have you ever tried? Have you ever
Living without my love
Have you ever tried, have you ever tried?
La, la
La-la-la-la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

When I first heard this song, I just knew exactly what she was trying to say. It's that feeling of wanting to be with someone so much and loving them with all your heart, but you just know you can't be with them. Deep down, you know that you two aren't right, and all you do is hurt eachother, but it's completely heartbreaking trying to accept that. I think the video just says it all, she is this strong superhero who can save anyone and do anything. But then when she sees the guy, she just goes weak, and when she touches him, it only hurts him more. So she flies off, because she knows it is what's best for him, and for her. You just have to find a way to make it without that person, because that's the only choice you have.
I can really relate to imxsara...responds, and I agree. I also feel that she was speaking to God when she said, "take me,make me you know i'll always be in love with you, right til the end" I think that she is suffering from a broken heart from a man that eventhough he has lied and hurt her, she loves him. She knows that they can never be together and she asks God to make her, because she is so heart broken. Just speaking from my own experience of heart-break, I ask God to help me day by day through my pain.
sarah u have hit the nail on the head this is how i see the song to :)i have a partner that i am not with and it reminds me of are situation that she loves him so much but she has to let him go and she trys to make it without him each night and everyone said there relationship wouldnt last,she holds on so tight to the love she feels for him yet she cannot be with him she reaches out to touch him but cant.she loves him so much its killin her inside.he promised her he wont leave her but he also isnt there for her..her heart is broken cause she cant be with him.
This song is about the struggle one has during a break-up that you have no control over and feel like you are dieing or falling apart because there's nothing you can do to bring that person back and you know it's not right to go back with that person. It's the worse feeling in the world, in the song she describes the lowest points, the sleepless lights, the pain one feels as if you just lost someone close to you because that's what it feels like when you face the end of a relationship and you want to do so much to go back and you love this person so much but you know you cannot be with them. You feel like you are drowning in an endless sea of emotions and that no one can save you..
but in this song, it is uplifting. She has a feeling of self-worth, strength, and belief, that she can and will pull through. Every night, she will find away--to save herself.
The love she felt was too much for that other person. Maybe they cheated, lied, or didn't feel the same way. In the video, she tries to touch him but she is too much for him. Her love is too strong. She is worth so much more. Although she feels like a part of her died, she still hopes and believes in love.
This is the best meaning for this song that I've read :)<br /> I've listened to this song a month after it came out but I never knew how much I would relate to it in the future. This song describes me for the past 3 weeks...but I'm feeling better :) Thank you for the wonderful interpretation.
I was in the same situation you just explained 5 months ago, it was so painful, this song is like reliving it all over again. The part where you said that' her love was too strong for him' hits home. I loved your explanation for this song meaning it was spot on xxx
I love this song so much.... I can't stop playing it. "You know that I'll always be in love with you... Right til the end!"
I'm exactly the same mijois!! You also pinpointed my favourite part of the song, it just takes off. Sends shivers down my spine!! :)
I think the song is about just breaking up with someone and having trouble falling asleep because that person is all that you can think about and all the memories going through your head. "All this time you were telling me lies", finding out that he was doing something behide your back or simply just that he said I love you and promised forever. Then thinking that in time maybe something will work out but for "Tonight i'll make it without you" and questioning if she should hold on to what she is feeling. That is what I get out of it. Great song with dealing with a break up.
I love this song...... This is a talented young woman.
this is is amazing i have to admit am playing it non-stop at the moment but i can not work out if it is about a split up (all the time you were tell me lies) or about loss of a loved one (Looking in the sky I can see your face)
as i said both ways it is such a beautiful song.
This song is so beautiful.
Based on the music video, I think it's about a break-up. However, the song can be interpreted as being hurt by say a friend or a family member as well as a lover. It can also be interpreted as two people having a fight and one dies before a reconciliation can take place.
Ermm, it's auto-erotic isn't it?<br /> <br /> Otherwise, what does "find a way to make it without you tonight" mean?
I totally agree that this is a song about a lover that has died. In my opinion, when she says "You made my body feel heaven bound" indicates clearly that she is speaking of the immortal. She also references this fact when she states that she can see his face in the sky. Of course, this is how I interpreted it and it may not be the exact meaning, but it is a beautiful song no matter what it means.
her saying "you made my body feel heaven bound" does not sound as if she's speaking of the immortal.<br /> it sounds like she's talking about how he physically made her feel as if she was in heaven.
I agree with blahblahblada that heaven bound refers to her physical state and i think that when she sings 'i can see your in the sky' means that she still sees his face day to day where ever she goes.
I love this song.
The song is about moving on. The person sleeping with the broken heart is done with the fake relationship, the lies. From the lyrics i get the feeling that she was the weaker of the two in the relationship. That she was willing to put up with the lies because she loved him, to be around him... Finally she's had enough and chooses to be strong and break away.
