wish it wasn't true
Wishing Away Heartache: AIDAN MARK's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
(I wish that it wasn't true)
Expressing a desire for something to be false or not real
I was waiting for you
Anticipation and waiting for someone
Like I would always do
Consistent behavior in waiting for the person
I wanted you to see my side
Desire for understanding and empathy from the other person
But on that stormy night
Referencing a specific difficult moment
Your heart could not find the very easy path to mine
Difficulty in connecting emotionally
How could you not see all the pain that you caused me?
Questioning the other person's awareness of the pain they caused
I know you didn't try to hurt me that bad
Acknowledging unintentional harm caused
(I know you didn't try to, try to)
Reiteration of unintentional harm
But you should have gone in a different direction
Suggesting an alternative course of action
Used to be 2, I'll always think of you
Reflection on past togetherness
And I wish that it wasn't true
Reiterating the desire for a different reality
I tried to get to bed
Struggling with sleep due to thoughts about the situation
Replaying what you said
Replaying conversations and events mentally
It kept me up all night, with no sleep
Insomnia caused by emotional distress
And I think about that date
Recollection of a significant date or event
Where you said you couldn't wait
Excitement expressed previously about the future together
For our future together
Questioning the disappearance of promised happiness
What happened to happiness forever?
Reiteration of the lack of understanding of the inflicted pain
How could you not see all the pain that you caused me?
Recognition of unintended harm caused
I know you didn't try to hurt me that bad
-(I know you didn't try to, try to)
Reiteration of unintentional harm
But you should have gone in a different direction
Suggesting a different approach that could have been taken
Used to be 2, I'll always think of you
Reflecting on past togetherness
And I wish that it wasn't true
Reiterating the desire for a different reality
I need to let you go
Feeling the need to move on from the relationship
The things you did were really low
Recognition of negative actions taken by the other person
But it's hard to forget all the good memories
Struggle in reconciling good memories with negative experiences
All the dates, the stars, the nights
Recollection of positive shared experiences
We would rarely even fight
Highlighting the rarity of conflicts in the relationship
How could something that's wrong feel so right?
Confusion about the contradiction between wrongness and feeling right
How could you not see all the pain that you caused me?
Recognition of unintended harm caused
I know you didn't try to hurt me that bad
Reiteration of unintentional harm
But you should have gone in a different direction
Suggesting a different approach that could have been taken
Used to be 2, I'll always think of you
Reflecting on past togetherness
And I wish that it wasn't true
Reiterating the desire for a different reality
