Lyrics
Since you went away it was only yesterday
Time feels recent since the separation
I couldn't sleep all night
Insomnia due to distress
But I'm sure that I was right
Confident in the decision made
Your smell is everywhere
Remnants of your presence are pervasive
I thought I didn't care
Believed indifference previously
And all the dreams that we shared are dying
Shared aspirations are fading away
I can't forget the look
The impactful expression on your face lingers
You had in your eyes you slammed the door
Recalling the moment you departed abruptly
You didn't say good-bye
No formal farewell exchanged
No - I don't want you – I don't need you
Clear statement of refusal and independence
I tell myself everyday
Reiterating self-affirmation against attachment
No – I don't want you – I don't need you
Repetition of rejection towards attachment
I don't love you anyway
Claiming absence of love regardless
I'm drinkin' cheap red wine
Seeking solace in alcohol and memories
And stare at your photograph
Gazing at a picture of you
I tear it all apart – and just throw it away
Destruction of the image as an act of release
Our love's not more than just a memory
Love confined to memories, inaccessible
Locked inside our hearts
Shared emotion, now unattainable
But we both lost the key – baby
Both parties unable to revive what was lost
Maybe I can take it – maybe I can start again
Contemplating acceptance and a new beginning
Maybe I can fake it
Pondering the possibility of pretending
Maybe I can make it through
Consideration of enduring despite uncertainty
But I don't know
Uncertainty and doubt about the future
