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.
