Heartbreak On the 101
Heartbreak Unveiled: A Tale of Lost Love on the 101
Lyrics
Did you think that I'd just slowly start to fade
Expressing surprise or disbelief that the speaker's presence would slowly diminish
You could steal my livelihood and send me on my way
Accusation of stealing the speaker's livelihood and forcing them to move on
I know it's old but I was caught out in the rain
Recalling a past experience of being caught in the rain
So I rested under a bridge
Seeking shelter under a bridge
I made some new friends
Making new friends while under the bridge
And I wept, and I wept
Expressing deep emotions, likely sadness
Did you really think that I'd just stand in line
Questioning the expectation of standing in line or waiting
Wait around for you until whatever time you like
Refusing to wait indefinitely for someone
I took the pieces of a broken heart
Gathering the broken pieces of the speaker's heart
And I had no choice
Feeling compelled to gather the broken heart without options
Heartbreak on the 101
Referring to a heartbreak experience on the 101 highway
Heartbreak on the 101
Reiteration of the heartbreak on the 101
I'm over it
Claiming to be over the heartbreak
You leave me more damaged every day
Accusing the person of causing increasing damage each day
you took my entire world and threw it all away
Highlighting the loss of the entire world due to the person's actions
Its cold outside I need a place to lay
Expressing a need for shelter in the cold
So I rest beneath the bridge with the friends that I made
Choosing to rest under the bridge with newfound friends
Couldn't really think that I'd just stand aside
Rejecting the idea of standing aside or starting anew
Take up something new or start another life
Not considering a fresh start or alternative life path
Look at the pieces of a broken heart
Examining the broken heart's pieces and their potential
And see what it could do
Considering what the broken heart can teach or reveal
Heartbreak on the 101
Reiteration of heartbreak on the 101
Heartbreak on the 101
Repeating the theme of heartbreak on the 101
I'm over it
Reaffirming being over the heartbreak
Can't think that I'd just slowly fade away
Rejecting the idea of slowly fading away
You could put me on the sidewalk with a suitcase
Being placed on the sidewalk with belongings in a suitcase
I know it's over and it sounds a bit cliche
Acknowledging the end and its cliché nature
But I want you back so bad
Expressing a strong desire to reunite despite the circumstances
Leave the pieces where they lay
Leaving the broken pieces where they are and hoping for reconciliation
And I pray for your return
Praying for the person's return
There's no sign
Not seeing any signs of the person's return
And I'm sleeping with my one eye open
Sleeping with vigilance, possibly due to uncertainty
Just in case you might
Remaining alert in case the person might return
No, nothing ever works
Expressing frustration that nothing seems to work
Its just a waste of time
Believing that everything is a waste of time
I can't seem to get it right
Expressing a sense of failure or inability to get things right
Heartbreak on the 101
Reiteration of heartbreak on the 101
Everybody's watching
Noticing that everybody is watching
Come take a look
Inviting others to witness the heartbreak on the 101
Heartbreak on the 101
Reiteration of heartbreak on the 101
Everybody watch
Encouraging everyone to watch or witness
Everybody look
Inviting everyone to look or observe the heartbreak
Heartbreak on the 101
Reiteration of heartbreak on the 101
Heartbreak on the 101
Repetition of the theme of heartbreak on the 101
Heartbreak on the 101
Final repetition of heartbreak on the 101
