Crying

The speaker had begun to feel better after a romantic separation: for a while, they could smile and manage daily life. Seeing the former partner again changes that. A brief, friendly meeting brings the sadness back, and the song moves from apparent recovery to renewed heartbreak. By the end, the speaker expects the pain to continue because the love is still there, but it is not returned.

The former partner’s touch is a small physical detail with a powerful effect: even holding hands can trigger tears. The speaker also says they were “standing all alone” after the other person said goodbye. This describes being left alone in that moment, but it also suggests emotional isolation. Repeating “crying over you” emphasizes how difficult it is for the speaker to stop thinking about the lost relationship.

The lyrics present love as something the speaker cannot simply choose to switch off. The meeting might have been ordinary and kindly meant—the former partner wishes the speaker well—but the speaker experiences it as painful. Their claim that they love the person “even more” could express a genuine deepening of feeling, or the intensity of longing after the loss. The song does not explain why the relationship ended, so its focus stays on the speaker’s unresolved sadness rather than blame.
