Empty spaces fill me up with hopes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess

[Chorus]
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby, it's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

[Chorus]

I don't mean to drag it on
But I can't seem to let you go
I don't want to make you face this world alone
I want to let you go

[Chorus]

Incomplete

    Translation:I pray for this heart to be unbroken, but without you all I'm going to be is incomplete.

    Wow. I may a be somewhat biased cause I grew up with these guys, singing their songs out loud in my the basement of my parents house. I loved and do love these guys so much. Whatever happened to the boy bands?

    This song is about heartbreak and this guy just broke up with his girlfriend and he wants to go on like he never knew her, but it's impossible because without her all he is going to be is incomplete.

    I know these guys never wrote their own lyrics, but man could they sing the songs like they came from within them. Love these guys always.

    Song Meaning:to me this song is about a guy who left a girl and feels lonely and incomplete without her.

    empty spaces fill me up with holes
    distant faces with no place left to go
    without you within me i can't find no rest
    where im going is anybody's guess

    he feels empty inside with her

    i tried to go on like i never knew you
    i'm awake, but my world is half asleep
    i pray for this heart to be unbroken
    but without you all i'm going to be is incomplete

    he is saying that he tried to go on like he never met her but that without her he feels incomplete and like he's walking through life in a daze because he needs her but realized it late

    voices tell me i should carry on
    but am swimming in and ocean all alone
    baby, my baby, its written on your face
    you still wonder if we made a big mistake

    his friends tell him he should move on without her but he feels like he's all alone without her and his girlfriend thinks they make a big mistake and were ment to be together but for whatever reason it didn't work out

    i don't mean to drag it on
    but i can't seem to let you go
    i don't wanna make you to face this world alone
    i wanna let you go

    he doesn't want her to be hurt and have to face the world on her own but he knows its the right thing to let her go because he really loves her

    and at the end of the song he still feels empty, heartbroken, lost, and incomplete without her in his life

    that's just my thoughts on the song

    General Comment:I really hate it when people keep talking about Twilight too much, but this song is almost like what Bella felt in New Moon, especially the chorus.

    General Comment:"I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
    I’m awake but my world is half asleep
    I pray for this heart to be unbroken
    But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete"

    This was EXACTLY how I felt when I was in the midst of a divorce from the Love of My Life!

    It was just a dark place to be when everything you thought you knew and every fantasy of life is destroyed.

    I'm in a much better place now, and I'm dating another incredible and special person. I'm also in very good terms -w- my ex, so I really can't complain.

    But... There's always the part inside you that will never be the same, and I still feel very sad when I hear this song.
