Emotion Lyrics

It's over and done, but the heartache lives on inside And who is the one you're clinging to instead of me tonight? And where are you now? Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go, go Cry me a river that leads to your ocean You'll never see me fall apart In the words of a broken heart, it's just emotions taking me over Caught up in sorrow, lost in the song But if you don't come back, come home to me, darlin' Don't you know, there's no— (Nobody left in this world to hold me tight) And don't you know, there's no— (Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight) Kiss goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight) (Goodnight) I'm there at your side, apart of all the things you are (Ah-ah, ah-ah) But you gotta find some one else You gotta go find your shining star And where are you now? Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go, go Cry me a river that leads to your ocean You'll never see me fall apart In the words of a broken heart, it's just emotions taking me over (Taking me over) Caught up in sorrow, lost in the song (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) But if you don't come back, come home to me, darlin' Don't you know, there's no— Nobody left in this world to hold me tight (Nobody left in this world to hold me tight) Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight Nobody left in this world Goodnight And where are you now? Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go Cry me a river that leads to your ocean You'll never see me fall apart In the words of a broken heart, it's just emotions taking me over Caught up in sorrow, lost in the song (Don't you know I'm lost without you baby) But if you don't come back, come home to me, darlin' Nobody left in this world to hold me tight (Yeah, nobody, nobody to hold me) Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight (Nobody to kiss me, yeah) Goodnight, goodnight

Meaning of Emotion

“Emotion” by Destiny’s Child is a raw and heartbreaking lament about the overwhelming power of grief and longing after a lost love. The lyrics depict a woman consumed entirely by sorrow, desperately reaching out to someone who has abandoned her, clinging to memories and fueled by tears on her pillow. She cries out for him to return, visualizing a river of pain leading to his “ocean,” illustrating the depth of her despair and the feeling of being utterly devastated. The repeated plea – "Don't you know, there’s no—nobody left in this world to hold me tight" – emphasizes her isolation and vulnerability. Ultimately, the song conveys a message about the consuming nature of emotions, particularly heartbreak, and the profound sense of loss when someone is gone, urging him to find his own happiness while she remains trapped in a cycle of sorrow.
