Lyrics meaning
The lyrics describe two people who still believe in each other but recognize that their love is no longer working as they hoped. They have tried to make the relationship succeed, yet now they must separate and continue their lives apart. The speaker admits that this is difficult, but the repeated claim of feeling stronger suggests gradual recovery and growing acceptance.
The phrase โlive on the runโ may suggest moving forward independently, rather than literally running away. โFeeling stronger every dayโ presents healing as a process: the speaker is not necessarily free of sadness, but believes their ability to cope is increasing. The idea that the separation is what the other person โwould have wantedโ helps the speaker make sense of the decision and move on.
The song holds sadness and hope together. The speaker says the breakup is not easy, so the repeated upbeat refrain does not mean there is no pain; it may be a way of encouraging themselves. Their agreement that separation is the best thing for both could express mutual understanding, though the lyrics leave some uncertainty about how settled or effortless that agreement really is.
