Throwing It All Away Lyrics
Need I say I love you
Need I say I care
Need I say that emotion's,
Something we don't share
I don't want to be sitting here
trying to deceive you
Cos you know I know baby
I don't wanna go.
We cannot live together
We cannot live apart
That's the situation
I've known it from the start
Every time that I look at you
I can see the future
Cos you know I know baby
I don't wanna go.
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Is there nothing that I can say
To make you change your mind
I watch the world go round and round
And see mine turning upside down
You're throwing it all away.
Who'll light up the darkness
Who will hold your hand
Who will find you the answers
When you don't understand
Why should I have to be the one
Who has to convince you
Cos you know I know baby
That I don't wanna go.
Some day you'll be sorry
Someday when you're free
Memories will remind you
That our love was meant to be
Late at night when you call my name
The only sound you'll hear
Is the sound of your voice calling
Calling after me.
Just throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
There's nothing I can say
You're throwing it all away.
Meaning of Throwing It All Away
“Throwing It All Away” is a heartbreaking lament about a doomed relationship, steeped in regret and desperate pleas. Genesis captures the agonizing feeling of watching love slip through one’s fingers as the narrator confronts an inevitable separation. The lyrics reveal a painful realization – they don't share emotions and the future they envisioned together has crumbled, acknowledged from the outset. The song expresses a profound sense of loss, frustration, and helplessness, questioning why they must fight for something clearly unwanted by the other person. There’s a yearning to change their mind, coupled with the heartbreaking knowledge that it’s futile; “You're throwing it all away.” Ultimately, the artist conveys a poignant message about accepting painful truths and the sorrow of witnessing love disappear, leaving only echoes of what could have been.
