Forget Her
Embrace Tomorrow: Letting Go of Heartbreak with Bonnie Tyler
Lyrics
My friend you're worn out and aching now
Addressing a friend who is exhausted and in pain.
Your life stretched tight and breaking now
Describing a life under intense pressure and close to breaking.
And you seem to find that every morning's
Noticing that each morning feels like a challenging obstacle.
Like a mountain you must climb
Comparing life's challenges to climbing a mountain.
Forget her, shake her free
Suggesting to forget a person and liberate oneself.
Like a leaf from a tree, you must let her go
Using the metaphor of a leaf falling from a tree to convey letting go.
It's hard I know
Acknowledging the difficulty of the process.
But tomorrow is another road that leads
Encouraging to focus on the possibilities of tomorrow.
Away from here, to the first horizon
Describing the journey ahead as a road leading to a new beginning.
Forget her
Reiterating the need to forget the person.
My friend you could open windows now
Suggesting the option to bring fresh air into life by opening windows.
Let cool breezes through your life somehow
Encouraging a positive change in life.
'Cause there's people out there, other people
Pointing out that there are other people facing challenges and striving for success.
Crying dying trying to get somewhere
Highlighting the struggles of others.
Forget her, let her go
Reiterating the advice to forget and let go.
With the ebb and flow of the passing tide
Comparing the process to the natural ebb and flow of the tide.
Now she's fortune's bride
Suggesting that the person has moved on to better circumstances.
And the days line up like cards and you can deal
Describing life as a deck of cards and the opportunity to take a chance.
Yourself a chance while the wheel's still turning
Advising to act while there are still opportunities.
Forget her
Repeating the advice to forget.
Well I'm so good at giving advice
Acknowledging personal expertise in giving advice.
But I know when you look at my life
Admitting that one's own life may seem unconventional.
It seems crazy
Recognizing the apparent craziness of personal choices.
But I can stand aside
Expressing the ability to distance oneself from emotions.
And I can see with different eyes
Claiming a different perspective with clearer vision.
Sometimes more clearly
Emphasizing the clarity of insight at times.
Forget her, till she sees
Repeating the advice to forget, extending it until the person realizes.
Like a face in a dream so far away
Comparing the person to a distant face in a dream.
She will fade away
Predicting the gradual fading away of the person.
And tomorrow is another road that leads
Reiterating that tomorrow offers a new path forward.
Away from here, to the first horizon
Describing the journey towards a new horizon.
Forget her, she has forgotten you
Affirming that the person has also moved on and forgotten.
Forget her
Repeating the final advice to forget the person.
