When love slips through your fingers, the pain can linger for what feels like forever. Toni Braxton's heartfelt lyrics capture the agony of seeing an ex with someone new while still being deeply in love with them. She expresses her disbelief and hurt as everyone around her talks about how happy they are together, just like she used to be with him. Despite trying to move on, she admits that she'll never fully get over him. The song is a raw confession of unending love and the struggle to accept that he's moved on, even if it means dancing through the pain to find some semblance of peace.
Long as I Live
Lyrics
Everybody's talking about you and her together
How could you do that to me?
And everybody's talking about all the wonderful things you do with her
Like you used to with me
Can't you tell by the look on my face?
I still like you that way
Now I can hardly remember why we ever lost ties
But I can tell
That I love you, and I still love you
Long as I live (long as I, I can live)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
It's killing me (it's killing me, killing me)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
If you can't be with the one you really, truly love
Do the two step
Everybody's talking about you and her together
How could you do that to me?
And everybody's talking, everybody's going on about her
Like you used to with me
I can tell by the look on your face
You really like her that way
And now I'm trying not to lose my mind and start crying
But I can tell
That you love her, you really love her
Long as I live (long as I, I can live)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
It's killing me (it's killing me, killing me)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
Long as I live (long as I, I can live)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
It's killing me (it's killing me, killing me)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
If you can't be with the one you love
It's okay
'Cause if you can't be with the one you really, truly love
Do a two step
Long as I live (long as I, I can live)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
It's killing me (it's killing me, killing me)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
Long as I live (long as I, I can live)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
It's killing me (it's killing me, killing me)
I'll never get over (you getting over me)
If you can't be with the one you really, truly love
