The Train Don't Stop Here Anymore
Journey of Regret: The Train That Passed Love By
Lyrics
I used to be the man
I used to be a prominent figure or someone important
Had lots of friends and lots of fans
Had a large social circle and many admirers
And the pictures on the wall say we used to have it all
Pictures on the wall symbolize past success and happiness
Until your heart made other plans
Plans changed due to your heart's decisions
Now my life has come and gone
Reflecting on a life that has passed
I did a few too many things wrong
Regrets for making mistakes in the past
And it’s too late for regrets
It's too late for remorse
How I hope the one you met will never sing my song
Hoping your new love won't experience the pain expressed in my song
The train don’t stop here anymore
The narrator's life has changed, and he feels abandoned
It just passes in the night
Symbolic train passing signifies missed opportunities
And the street that led me to your door
The path to the narrator's love is now dark and inaccessible
It’s always dark without a single light
A metaphor for the absence of hope or joy
If I could just go back in time to when you were mine
Expressing a desire to undo past mistakes
And maybe live my life again
Nostalgia for a time when the narrator was in a relationship
I’d open up the door, I’d love you like before
Wishing to rekindle lost love and opportunities
But the train don’t stop here anymore
Reiterating that the narrator can't reclaim what's lost
Late at night I stumble in
Reflecting on late-night thoughts about missed chances
Sit and think what might have been
Contemplating what could have been in the past
Because when you’re living life too fast
Fast-paced living led to the demise of true love
True love can never last, temptation always wins
Emphasizing the inevitability of succumbing to temptation
Like a ghost town in the west
Describing a desolate and empty emotional state
Memories are all that’s left
Only memories remain of what once was
I made all my dreams come true
Achieved dreams, but at the cost of losing true love
How’d I end up losing you, when I had the very best
Regret for losing the best thing in life
The train don’t stop here anymore
Reiteration that the train no longer stops, signifying lost opportunities
It just passes in the night
Symbolic passing of chances and moments in the night
And the street that led me to your door
The path to love remains dark and unilluminated
It’s always dark without a single light
Highlighting the absence of hope or positivity
If I could just go back in time to when you were mine
Expressing a desire to rewrite the past
And maybe live my life again
Wishing for a chance to relive life and love differently
I’d open up the door, I’d love you like before
Expressing a commitment to love differently if given a second chance
But the train don’t stop here anymore
Reaffirmation that opportunities to reclaim lost love are gone
