The singer says that he can hear a voice refer to him as `` darling '', which seems an unlikely address when a couple are splitting acrimoniously. The song describes the narrator 's feelings as his lover is leaving him. He comes to realize how much she meant to him now that he is losing her -- `` There goes my reason for living / There goes the one of my dreams / There goes my only possession / There goes my everything ''.
