Lyrics

I think it's time to realize it's done

I acknowledge that it's time to accept the end of something.

I guess I have to accept it

I understand that I have to come to terms with it.

I was never the one

I realize that I was never the chosen one in this situation.

Yeaaah, it was so good

The experience was enjoyable or positive.

I thought I fell into someone else's dream

I initially believed I was part of someone else's dream.

Yeah, but I let it be my, thought to let be yours

I allowed it to become my reality, as well as yours.

Now nothing's ever what it seems

Now, things are not as they appeared to be.

I thought I felt it all around

I sensed it all around before, but now it's fallen apart.

But now it's laying there on the ground

What I sensed is now lying on the ground.

Why was it there for me, but not for you?

Why did it exist for me but not for you?

Tell me, tell me,

Repeated: Expressing a desire for information or understanding.

It comes as bliss of love, now I'm sitting here

The bliss of love has turned into pain, and I find myself alone.

And you're so far gone

You are now emotionally distant or unreachable.


I'm staring down the page in a magazine

I'm looking at a magazine, perhaps reminiscing about the past.

I looked up at the tv, but it's just too discrete

Looking at the TV, but it doesn't provide comfort.

When we're together, I thought it was ecstasy

When we were together, I believed it was pure joy.

Oh I can tell the sun's still shining

Aware that life goes on, but I'm surrounded by darkness.

But shadows are all I can see

Shadows dominate my perception despite the sunshine.

And everywhere I go, I'll never see your face I know

I can't escape the absence of your presence.

What could I say, that could make you come back this way

Desiring words that could bring you back.

Tell me, tell me,

Repeated: Seeking information or understanding.

It comes as bliss of love, now I'm sitting here

Repeated: The bliss of love has turned into pain, and I find myself alone.

And you're so far gone

Repeated: You are now emotionally distant or unreachable.


Now I know I should have known

Now I understand that I should have been aware.

And I see I could have seen

I see that I had the opportunity to perceive the situation.

You gotta rest your soul

Suggesting the need for spiritual or emotional rest.

I need to know, I want to find out

Expressing a need for information or understanding about the current state.

If your fields are still green, whoaaa

Asking if there is still vitality or life in the relationship.


Now I hope that what I have found

Hoping that the discovered truth is genuine.

Could somehow be true

Expressing uncertainty about the prolonged separation.

Why is it such a long long way and you

Questioning the reason for the extended distance.

Tell me, tell me

Repeated: Seeking information or understanding.

It comes as bliss of love, now I'm sitting here

Repeated: The bliss of love has turned into pain, and I find myself alone.

And you're so far gone

Repeated: You are now emotionally distant or unreachable.
