you stole the summer
Summer Stolen: Unveiling the Betrayal in Be Charlotte's Melody
Lyrics
Verse 1
Beginning of the song
I used to think that, you made the earth spin
Expressing belief that the person had a significant impact on the speaker's worldview
So why did our world stop
Questioning why their world came to a halt
You made me believe that
Acknowledging the influence of the person in the speaker's life
You were my everything
Considering the person as a central part of the speaker's life
Now all I see is what your not
Realizing that the person is not what they seemed to be
Pre-chorus
Building up to the chorus
When you tricked me for the last time
Feeling deceived for the final time
With a fake smile as a lifeline
Describing a fake smile as a deceptive comfort
I thought I’d care more than I do
Realizing a lack of expected emotional investment
Chorus
Introduction of the chorus
The sun shines brighter without you in my life
Positively acknowledging life without the person
And our blood is a river to the water in my eyes
Metaphorically connecting blood to tears, expressing emotional pain
You stole the summer and turned my tears into rain
Accusing the person of stealing joy and causing sorrow
The sun shines brighter without you
Reiterating the brightness without the person
Verse 2
Starting the second verse
It’s in your nature
Highlighting the person's inherent nature
You’re scissors, I’m paper
Metaphorically contrasting the person (scissors) to the speaker (paper)
Knowing you couldn’t be my rock
Recognizing the person's inability to provide stability
Is it a game that
Pondering if the situation is a game that cannot be reversed
We cannot play back?
Reflecting on unforgettable aspects of the relationship
Somehow I never forgot
Permanence of certain memories despite the situation
Pre-chorus
Building up emotional intensity
When you tricked me for the last time
Feeling deceived for the final time (repeated)
With a fake smile as a lifeline
Describing a fake smile as a lifeline (repeated)
I thought I’d care more than I do
Reiteration of a lack of expected emotional investment
Chorus
Introduction of the final chorus
The sun shines brighter without you in my life
Reiteration of the positive impact of the person's absence
And our blood is a river to the water in my eyes
Metaphorical connection between blood and tears (repeated)
You stole summer and turned my tears into rain
Repeating the accusation of joy theft and sorrow induction
The sun shines brighter without you
Final reiteration of the brightness without the person
Middle 8
Introduction of the middle 8
You are nothing to me
Declaring the insignificance of the person
You don’t get to know me
Emphasizing the person's lack of privilege in knowing the speaker
You are nothing to me
Reiteration of the person's insignificance
You don’t get to know me
Final statement in the middle 8
