In this emotionally charged ballad, Lewis Capaldi delves into the pain and struggle of coping with a breakup. The lyrics convey a sense of deep heartache and loneliness as the narrator grapples with the absence of a loved one. He reflects on how every part of him is still clinging to memories and remnants of the relationship, making it difficult to move forward. The recurring theme of feeling abandoned and trying to mend a broken heart is palpable. Despite his efforts to pray and find solace, waking up without his partner remains an arduous challenge. Ultimately, the song captures the raw vulnerability and resilience required to navigate life after love has let you down.
Tough
Lyrics
Every little part of me
Is holding on to every little piece you
Is holding on to every drop of blood you drew
Is holding onto you
And every waking hour I spend
Holding out for reasons not to go to bed
I'm holding out for someone else to hold instead
If every hope of you is dead
'Cause every night since you cut and run
I feel like the only one who's ever been the lonely one
Trying to mend a heart that keeps breaking
With every step that you're taking
'Cause you've been running circles 'round
My mind, turning me inside out
And I fell for you but hit the ground
'Cause the only love I've known has let me
Down and I need lifting up
Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough
And I'm praying I can pray enough
So waking up without you ain't so tough
I find it hard to find my feet
When I keep on stumbling over you and me
But I keep on trying 'cause I know I need
To outrun the memories
And every day I'm reminded of
The way I let it come undone
And I feel like the lonely one
The only one with time worth wasting
Well, I still can't stop chasing
'Cause you've been running circles 'round
My mind, turning me inside out
And I fell for you but hit the ground
'Cause the only love I've known has let me
Down and I need lifting up
Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough
And I'm praying I can pray enough
So waking up without you ain't so tough, ooh
Tough, ooh, tough
So waking up without you
Say I
Thought I was talking to you
Say I
I guess I'm talking to myself
Me and nobody else
'Cause you've been running circles 'round
My mind, turning me inside out
And I fell for you but hit the ground
'Cause the only love I've known has let me
Down and I need lifting up
Now you ain't here I'm sleeping rough
And I'm praying I can pray enough
So waking up without you ain't so tough
