Lyrics
The neighbor next door just barely
The neighbor next door barely acknowledges me.
Say good mornin'
They only manage to say "good morning."
The boys down at work didn't ask me
Colleagues at work avoid inviting me for a beer.
To stop for a beer
There's a sense of distance due to rumors about our relationship.
I guess they heard 'bout me and you
People have learned about the breakup between you and me.
Nothin' spreads like real bad news
Bad news spreads quickly, and the impact is significant.
'cause the silence is loud and clear
The silence around us is noticeable and definitive.
Nobody knows what to say
People are unsure about what to say in this situation.
They just stare at their shoes
Awkwardness is expressed by avoiding eye contact, focusing on shoes.
And make up an excuse to turn and walk away
Others create excuses to avoid facing the uncomfortable reality.
Nobody knows what to say
Communication is challenging due to the complexity of the situation.
'cause you just don't up and lose
The pain of losing a deep love is not easily expressed or understood.
The love of a lifetime everyday
The lyrics emphasize the significant impact of losing a lifelong love.
Since you took your love away
Everyday life has changed since the departure of your love.
Nobody knows what to say
The difficulty of finding appropriate words persists.
We were the ones everyone said would last forever
We were once seen as a couple destined to endure forever.
We had the kind of love people talked about
Our love was the subject of admiration and discussion.
Ever since you said goodbye
Since the goodbye, the quietness in my world has become overwhelming.
They don't want to see a grown man cry
People avoid witnessing the emotional pain of a grown man.
So my world's awful quiet now
The speaker's world is now profoundly silent.
Nobody knows what to say
People are still uncertain about what to say in this difficult situation.
They just stare at their shoes
Avoidance and discomfort are expressed through avoiding eye contact.
And make up an excuse to turn and walk away
Excuses are fabricated to escape the painful reality.
Nobody knows what to say
The struggle to find appropriate words continues.
'cause you just don't up and lose
The difficulty of accepting the loss of a profound love.
The love of a lifetime everyday
Highlighting the impact of losing a love that was cherished every day.
Since you took your love away
The void left by your departure continues to affect daily life.
Nobody knows what to say
Despite the passage of time, people are still unsure about what to say.
