There's a possibility,
There's a possibility,
All that I had was all I'm gonn' get.

Mmm

There's a possibility,
There's a possibility,
All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare
All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare

So tell me when you hear my heart stop
You're the only one that knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There's a possibility I wouldn't know."

Mmm
Mmm

Know that when you leave,
Know that when you leave,
By blood and by me, you walk like a thief,
By blood and by me, and I fall when you leave.

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You're the only one that knows.
Tell me when you hear my silence,
There's a possibility I wouldn't know.
So tell me when my sorrow's over,
You're the reason why I'm closed.
Tell me when you hear me falling,
There's a possibility it wouldn't show.

Mmm
Mmm

By blood and by me,
And I'll fall when you leave.
By blood and by me,
I follow your lead.

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

    General Comment:There's a possibility, All that I had was all I'm gonn' get. (all that she had of him, or him her, was all shes ever gonna get again)

    All I'm gonna get is gone with your stare (all she gets is gone with him...)

    So tell me when you hear my heart stop
    You're the only one that knows
    Tell me when you hear my silence
    There's a possibility I wouldn't know." (she would know when anything she does happens, because her soul is with him)

    Know that when you leave,
    By blood and by me, you walk like a thief,
    By blood and by me, and I fall when you leave. (when he leaves, he leaves with her, shes like a lifeless body without him, once again, or him her)

    So tell me when my sorrow's over,
    You're the reason why I'm closed.
    Tell me when you hear me falling,
    There's a possibility it wouldn't show.(once again, she wouldnt know, cuz her soul is with him)

    By blood and by me,
    And I'll fall when you leave.
    By blood and by me,
    I follow your lead. (she'll follow him, wherever he goes.)

    My Interpretation:This is the first time I post a comment on song meanings.

    Why did I decided to post in this sad song? It's because I truly recognize myself in the situation it's describes, although I'm not the one who had been left behind, and it's the obvious interpretation of this song...

    I broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago, and still I can't recover from it. Everyone thinks that the one who suffers most is the one who has been left behind and it's not true. I was in this relationship for almost 10 years, it wasn't the most easily choice I could have. Still it has to be done...

    This possibility I think, is the feeling you get when you see your heart broken and teared apart even the other one didn't notice it, and this possibility hover around you, questioning your choice, "Have I took the wrong decision?" "Will we get together someday again?".

    And when the lyrics says:

    "So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
    You're the only one that knows.
    (I can see it in each actions he had with me, where and why my heart broke)

    Tell me when you hear my silence,
    There's a possibility I wouldn't know.
    (And he didn't noticed because he wouldn't see it anyway, because to him everything was alright even all my feelings were vanishing and it was stapled at my face, he simply couldn't notice it)

    So tell me when my sorrow's over,
    You're the reason why I'm closed.
    (If someday he recover, maybe there will be a possibility but will it worth my efforts?)

    Tell me when you hear me falling,
    There's a possibility it wouldn't show.
    (And if he recover someday, I don't know if I'll be open to it again, thats why is so sad, and so terrifying)"

    That's the meaning this song causes in me...

    General Comment:My first post.

    Obviously a song about heartbreaking. But not just any song; this one brilliantly translates the feeling of a Real heartbreak. I agree with Soccergirl2008, yummyloveeful, kotatsu ofcourse, and a few more. And just for the record; when I say it's not always the girl who gets left behind I'm speaking out of experience..

    Anywayz, even though it's amazingly sad, one of my most favorite songs ever.

    Memory:This song speaks so much to me personally.

    Esp the line

    "There's a possibility,
    All that I had was all I'm gonn' get."

    When I was a teenager I had a love... it was so intense and life-changing. He passed away when I was 19 and I still have this longing for him that never seems to ease with time. I still dream about him on a fairly regular basis...

    I'm married now with 2 children, but it all seems like a paler shade of the once vibrant color my life was when I was with him.

    General Comment:Wow sounds like a romeo and juliet kinda of love. like twin flame love. I relate in that I had the most beautiful vision of a woman and it feels like its all I'm gonna get. And its all I wanted. So in my case I want to follow her lead, there's a "possibility" I better meet her or I will seriously walk with a cloud over my head.

    General Comment:This song is about oral sex. She is telling her boyfriend there is a possibility she will perform oral sex on him, provided he treats her well on the date. Great song

    General Comment:this song is sad,i personally think its about being in a relationship that is new but your starting to catch deep feelings for him,than he dissapears he takes your heart like a thieve. and you still think of all the possibilitys that could have been with that person if he would have just picked you not his ex of forever years that they treat each other like crap. :[
