Lyrics
You put a smile on all their faces
You brought happiness to everyone.
Your warm welcome, oh so far away
Your warm welcome feels distant or inaccessible.
A hollow shell inside a mansion
A sense of emptiness within a grand living space.
This room will never be the same
This particular room is forever changed, possibly due to a significant event.
Now, the good die young and the bad die late
A reflection on the unpredictable nature of life and death.
That's what my mother used to say when I was young and still to this day
A quote from the speaker's mother emphasizing the unpredictability of life.
I'm more sad they went, than glad they came
The speaker feels more sorrow about departures than joy about arrivals.
Our lips stay sealed during the first one
Silence or secrecy surrounds the first event.
Our thoughts conceal our fear of the next
Concealed thoughts express fear of what comes next.
Our hearts convey it through the third one
Emotions are conveyed openly during the third event.
When our ducts run out of tears to shed
When there are no more tears left to cry.
Your theme song brightened up the weather
A positive influence, possibly a song, affected the atmosphere positively.
Enough is what it sounded like
The impact or significance reached a point of "enough."
You won't be coming back forever
A permanent departure; the person won't return.
'Cause you fell down the stairs that night
An incident involving falling down stairs contributed to the departure.
You put a smile on all their faces
Reiteration of the impact of the person's presence.
Your warm welcome, oh so far away
Reiteration of the feeling of a distant welcome.
A hollow shell inside a mansion
Reiteration of an emptiness within a luxurious space.
This room will never be the same
Reiteration of a room forever changed.
Our lips stay sealed during the first one
Again, silence or secrecy during the first event.
Our thoughts conceal our fear of the next
Reiteration of concealed thoughts expressing fear.
Our hearts convey it through the third one
Reiteration of emotions being openly expressed during the third event.
When our ducts run out of tears to shed
Reiteration of running out of tears to shed.
Your theme song brightened up the weather
Reiteration of a positive influence on the weather.
Enough is what it sounded like
Reiteration that "enough" is what the impact sounded like.
You won't be coming back forever
Confirmation of a permanent departure.
But you'll stick with all the words I write
The person will remain through the words written by the speaker.
