I've been twisting and turning,
In a space that's too small.
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall,
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart.
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart.

[Chorus]
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, Cause I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
Its the better thing to do,
Its time to surrender,
Its been to long pretending.
There's no use in trying,
When the pieces don't fit anymore, Pieces don't fit here anymore.

You pulled me under,
I had to give in.
Such a beautiful myth,
That's breaking my skin.
Well I'll hide all the bruises,
I'll hide all the damage that's done.
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone.

[Chorus]

Oh don't misunderstand,
How I feel.
Cause I've tried, yes I've tried.
But still I don't know why, no I don't know why.
I don't know why, why!

[Chorus]

    General Comment:I don't know if i've dreamed this up but i see a split mindset
    on one hand the song is a realisation and admission that its simply not working
    but its almost as if hes questioning himself, on one hand he thinks theres 'no use in trying'
    but theres also the feeling he ultimatly really does want to try regardless of if he admits it,'But i show how im feeling til the feeling has gone' suggests he does still have feelings for the girl. Perhaps the 'girl' is making the descisions, elements of the song make me think its coming from someone else as
    'Its time to surrender' could be to reality of the relationship or perhaps its to what the other one wants.

    General Comment:This beautiful song (really really beautiful!) is about someone who has to break up with someone else because it is the best thing to do. He still loves her, but the relationship is no longer working. It is a song that portrays regret, sorrow, mercy, love and honesty. Everyone can relate to it, as with all James Morrison's AMAZING lyrical soul ballads.

    General Comment:Aww, I love this song. It really showcases James Morrison's voice.

    I'd say it's about knowing that a relationship has to end after you've tried unsuccessfully to fix it.

    General Comment:This might be my favorite James Morrison song of all time. I nearley cried the first time I heard it, but at the same time, I fell in love with it.
    It's just so beautiful, and a lot of people can relate to what he describes so perfectly!

    It's a very emotionel song, but still so beautiful.

    General Comment:This song has so much passion

    I beleive this song is talking about how you try to fix problems between you and someone
    and you want to resolve things but they just continue to fight.. therefore nothing is ever fixed up.
    and you cant handle it anymore.
    and then it feels wrong


    Your just continually trying and no matter how hard you try the line will just fall.
    as he says "I've been drawing the line and watching it fall, "

    its a real heartbreaking song
    though i think the lyrics relate to alot of relationships.

    General Comment:I agree with Purifiedx, that part sends shivers down my spine.

    "Well I can't explain why it's not enough, cause I gave it all to you" is one of my favourite lyrics of all time.

    General Comment:I can relate to this, whenever you get to that point with someone and you realize that it's just not right between the two of you. It's so sad.
