Gilded Heartache: Bianca Camiolo's Golden Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
It's five am in the morning and I can hear you callin' my name
It's early morning, and the person hears someone calling their name.
I'm listening out for all the words I thought I'd never hear you say
The person is attentive, awaiting words they never expected to hear.
Your love is like a blade no it cuts deep inside I'm in pain
The love experienced is compared to a cutting blade causing emotional pain.
Every time you're out with her you hope to God that you see my face
When the person is not around, there's hope the other person thinks of them.
'Cause one step to close, is one step to far away
Being too close or too far away can impact the cherished connection.
From the thing you love the most
Proximity to what one loves the most is significant.
But no I won't make you stay, cause everybody knows
The speaker won't force the other person to stay, acknowledging a shared understanding.
Yeah everybody knows
Recognition that the situation is known by everyone involved.
That you're gold
Acknowledging the other person as valuable or special.
You're shiny from the start
Highlighting the attractiveness or positive qualities from the beginning.
You look so good while I'm falling apart
The contrast between the other's appeal and the speaker's emotional struggles.
I can't control
Expressing a lack of control over certain situations.
These things that I'm told
Referring to information or statements received.
And all your games, no they'll never get old
Recognizing that the other person's actions or strategies won't become boring.
No no no no
Emphatic repetition of "no," possibly indicating refusal or denial.
It's five am on the morning and lately I just don't feel the same
Reiterating the early morning setting and a change in the speaker's feelings.
Without you here by my side I need you callin' out my name
The absence of the other person affects the speaker, desiring their presence.
Lately I've been thinkin' bout how we ended up in this place
Reflecting on how the relationship reached its current state.
Then I remember that you're the one who asked for the space
Recalling that the other person initiated the need for space.
'Cause one step to close, is one step to far away
Repetition of the idea that closeness or distance has a significant impact.
From the thing you love the most
Emphasizing the importance of proximity to what one loves the most.
But no I won't make you stay, cause everybody knows
Reiteration that the speaker won't compel the other person to stay.
Yeah everybody knows
Restating that the situation is widely known.
That you're gold
Reaffirming the other person's value or uniqueness.
You're shiny from the start
Highlighting the enduring attractiveness or positive qualities.
You look so good while I'm falling apart
Contrasting the other's allure with the speaker's internal struggles.
I can't control
Reiterating a lack of control over certain aspects of life.
These things that I'm told
Referring to information or statements received.
And all your games, no they'll never get old
Acknowledging that the other person's actions or strategies won't become boring.
