Lyrics meaning
The lyrics describe someone struggling after a breakup. He cannot stop imagining his former partner with someone else, and the thought causes intense pain. As the song develops, he also recognizes his own part in the separation: he was too stubborn to try to stop her or speak honestly. That regret deepens the sadness, while his repeated wish to see her suggests he still hopes for a connection.
โOver and over againโ means repeatedly, and here it captures how the singer replays both painful images and past choices in his mind. โItโs all in my headโ does not necessarily mean the events are imaginary; it emphasizes how strongly his thoughts occupy him. The image of seeing โthat lookโ in her eyes points to a remembered sign of affection, which he longs to find again.
There is some uncertainty about what is happening now. The singer says he thinks she is leaving, but the lyrics also refer to a past goodbye, so the situation may involve a new separation or his repeated fear of losing her. His pain is clear, but the song does not show whether reconciliation is possible. It presents love as something he cannot easily let go of, even while recognizing that his own stubbornness helped create the distance.
