Sad But True
Overcoming Heartbreak: Sad But True Story of Liberation
Lyrics
Today when I heard you say
Expressing the moment of hearing a significant statement
"Time to shake it up"
Reference to making a change or causing a stir
How much could it possibly
Questioning the extent of effort required to awaken realization
Take to wake me up
Wondering about the impact needed to prompt self-awareness
We were on borrowed time, you know it's true
Acknowledging a relationship being in a precarious state
I think it's safe to say I'm over you
Declaring the speaker's emotional detachment and moving on
Because I called back for the last time
Declaring the end of attempts to reconnect
We tried it all but it ain't right
Summarizing failed attempts and acknowledging the mismatch
But now I see clear, I'll be better on my own
Realizing clarity and the potential for self-improvement
Better on my own without you
Embracing independence and acknowledging the sadness of the truth
Sad but true
Reiterating the sad reality of the situation
Sad but true
Repeating the acknowledgment of a sad truth
Sad but true
Reaffirming the unfortunate but true nature of the situation
Sad but true
Emphasizing the truth of the situation with sadness
Two years anniversary, chasing butterflies
Reflecting on a two-year milestone and pursuing fleeting joys
Deep down I already knew love won't get you so high
Recognizing the limitations of love in providing lasting happiness
An egomaniac, you know it's true
Labeling the partner as self-centered or narcissistic
Stuck in a world that revolves around you
Feeling trapped in a self-centered world
Because I called back for the last time
Confirming the finality of reaching out and ending efforts
We tried it all but it ain't right
Summarizing attempts to make the relationship work
But now I see clear, I'll be better on my own
Acknowledging newfound clarity and the potential for solo growth
Better on my own without you
Expressing confidence in being better off alone
I'll never forget how
Recalling a shared experience of walking in the snow
We walked through the snow to catch your train
Highlighting a memorable journey to catch a train
Not sure if we'd ever meet again
Expressing uncertainty about future meetings
The station was closed for the holidays
Describing a closed train station during the holidays
At minus ten degrees
Indicating extreme cold weather conditions
We couldn't feel our feet
Describing physical discomfort due to the cold
Now I backed down for the last time
Reiterating the finality of stepping back from the relationship
We tried it all, but it ain't right
Reviewing all efforts made and acknowledging their ineffectiveness
But now I see clear, I'll be better on my own
Reiterating newfound clarity and the decision to move forward alone
Better on my own without you
Expressing confidence in being better off without the partner
Sad but true
Reaffirming the sad truth of the situation
Sad but true
Repeating the acknowledgment of a sad truth
Sad but true
Reaffirming the unfortunate but true nature of the situation
Sad but true
Emphasizing the truth of the situation with sadness
