Yearning for Lost Love: "Idiot" by Annamarie Rosanio
Lyrics
My god it's lonely love
Expressing the loneliness associated with love.
To want someone who's just
Desiring someone who is actively trying to distance themselves from their own family or background.
Trying to outrun your blood
Imagining the challenge of being romantically involved with someone trying to escape their own heritage.
I tried to picture you
Attempting to visualize the person in various situations or places.
Waiting in every room
Expecting to find the person in different locations or circumstances.
Didn't we swear its you and me?
Recalling a commitment or promise made between the speaker and the person.
Maybe I'm an idiot
Acknowledging the possibility of being perceived as foolish.
But I got promises to keep
Despite feeling like an idiot, emphasizing the importance of keeping promises.
And I was only ever second place
Reflecting on being in a secondary position in someone's life.
But I miss it, I miss it
Expressing a longing for the past, despite being in a less significant role.
Yes I know that love's a losing game
Acknowledging the challenges and risks associated with love.
But I miss it, I miss it
Despite recognizing love's difficulties, expressing a yearning for it.
Yes I heard about the girl you got
Being aware of the person's new romantic interest.
How she's a walking list of everything I'm not
Comparing the new partner to the speaker, highlighting differences.
And it hurts in ways that only you can do to me
Describing emotional pain inflicted by the person in a unique way.
Well maybe I'm an idiot
Reiterating the possibility of being perceived as foolish.
But I think yours is all I'll be
Despite feeling like an idiot, expressing a commitment to the person.
Sold on your solomn state
Being captivated by the person's serious and solemn demeanor.
Head down for heavens sake
Observing the person's avoidance and reluctance to engage with the speaker.
Can't even stand to look at me
Expressing the difficulty of being looked at by the person.
Then there's that silent scream
Describing a silent, internal struggle or distress within the person.
You down on half your knees
Noting a vulnerable position the person is in.
Ask her to spend her life as we
Referring to a proposal or commitment the person made to someone else.
Well maybe I'm an idiot
Repeating the idea of feeling foolish but questioning the person's choice.
But didn't you want that with me?
Recalling the speaker and the person discussing a shared future.
And I was only ever second place
Reflecting on being in a secondary position in someone's life.
But I miss it, I miss it
Expressing a yearning for the past, despite being in a less significant role.
Yes I know that love's a losing game
Acknowledging the challenges and risks associated with love.
But I miss it, I miss it
Despite recognizing love's difficulties, expressing a yearning for it.
Yes I heard about the girl you got
Being aware of the person's new romantic interest.
How she's a walking list of everything I'm not
Comparing the new partner to the speaker, highlighting differences.
And it hurts in ways that only you can do to me
Describing emotional pain inflicted by the person in a unique way.
Well maybe I'm an idiot
Reiterating the possibility of being perceived as foolish.
But I think yours is all I'll be
Despite feeling like an idiot, expressing a commitment to the person.
Stumble in loud guess I
Describing an awkward or clumsy entrance, perhaps into a situation.
Just missed the vows because if
Expressing a sense of missing out on an important event, like vows.
I was there I'd object
Expressing a hypothetical objection to a significant event involving the person.
You're spinning round with her
Observing the person in close proximity to someone else.
Close enough to whisper
Noting the person's intimacy with someone else.
This is the happiest you'll be
Stating that the current moment is the peak of the person's happiness.
Maybe I'm an idiot
Repeating the idea of feeling foolish but questioning the person's choice.
But didn't you say that to me?
Recalling a previous statement made by the person.
