The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Loveless" by the artist "Tomohisa Yamashita"

Tomohisa Yamashita's "Loveless" portrays the inner struggle of a man going through a painful breakup. He understands that the relationship has reached its end, witnesses his beloved's pain, yet tries to maintain composure and support her.

The protagonist recognizes his beloved’s suffering, her inability to openly address the separation ("you can't talk about our breakup"). He notices the growing distance between them, despite their outward closeness ("our shadows on the road overlap"). Happy memories fade, replaced by emptiness.

The lyrical hero feels guilty and helpless, unable to hold onto his love ("You must have found another love, I can’t find the words to keep you by my side"). He acknowledges the fading of their love ("Our hands have grown colder since we let go of love") and the inevitability of becoming strangers.

Despite his pain, the hero strives for strength, comforting his former lover, asking her not to cry or apologize. He proposes a graceful parting, preserving dignity, exchanging last smiles before memories turn into a source of pain.

However, beneath the facade of indifference lies deep emotional pain. The hero admits to lying about his well-being (“'I will be fine on my own' - I lied for the first time") to avoid further hurting her. He wishes his former love happiness more than anything and thanks her for everything they shared.

In the end, the hero urges letting go of the past, releasing the burden of mistakes and regrets ("Let's take off the weight from our chests, of the reasons we came up with together") and moving towards a new future. He says goodbye, concealing his pain behind a final smile.
