46 Miles From Alice
Distance from Love: A Journey of Heartache
Lyrics
When we had our fights
Expressing the presence of conflicts or disagreements in the relationship.
I knew that our love wouldn't last that long
Anticipating that the love in the relationship won't endure for an extended period.
So when you broke my heart
Acknowledging the emotional pain of a broken heart.
I knew I'd have to leave town all alone
Realizing the necessity to leave the town as a result of the heartbreak.
And 'cause I was so mad
Describing intense anger, leading to a desire to avoid encountering the former partner.
I didn't wanna see your face again
Expressing the decision to distance oneself from the ex-partner.
Now I'm 46 miles from Alice
Stating the current physical distance from a place called Alice.
And I'm thousands of miles from my home.
Highlighting the significant geographical separation from the original home.
Now people seem to ask
Addressing questions from others about constant sadness.
Why I'm always crying all the time
Implying a reluctance to discuss the details of a faded or lost love.
But I don't speak of faded love
Choosing to avoid dwelling on the past and asserting the ability to move on.
So I just walk away and say that I'll be fine
Opting to walk away and reassure others that everything will be fine.
My heart is broke in two
Expressing profound emotional pain with a heart metaphorically broken in two.
And my eyes will cry a river of love
Describing the intensity of grief through the imagery of crying eyes.
Yes I'm 46 miles from Alice
Reiterating the current distance from Alice and the extended separation from home.
And I'm thousands of miles from my home.
Emphasizing the profound emotional and physical distance from the past.
Now when I sleep at night
Expressing hope for a return home through prayers during sleep.
Well I pray that when I wake I'll be at home
Wishing for a positive change upon waking up.
But when the morning comes
Confronting the reality of being wrong and feeling regretful in the morning.
Well I lie and I cry 'cause I was wrong
Describing the emotional turmoil of lying and crying due to a mistake.
But I'm oh so far away
Emphasizing the significant physical distance from the familiar surroundings.
And I'm out of town and oh so far from home
Highlighting the sense of being out of town and far away from the original home.
Yes I'm 46 miles from Alice
Repeating the distance from Alice and thousands of miles from home.
And I'm thousands of miles from my home.
Reiterating the emotional and physical separation from the past and home.
Yes I'm 46 miles from Alice
Affirming the continued distance from Alice and the extended separation from home.
And I'm thousands of miles from my home.
Restating the enduring emotional and physical distance from the past.
