Lyrics
It's kinda sad that I have learned to deal with things like this.
Expressing sadness about having adapted to handling difficult situations.
Being strong means being heartless.
Defining strength as appearing unfeeling or lacking compassion.
Tell me, how do the scars feel after the wounds heal?
Questioning the emotional aftermath of healing from scars.
Did it burn when they cauterized?
Asking about the sensation during the cauterization of wounds.
Did it show that you were hiding the hurt inside?
Inquiring whether the pain was evident while concealing inner suffering.
Do your eyes still shine as bright as they did the days when you were at your best?
Wondering if the eyes still reflect the brightness of happier days.
Now that you're all alone and feeling sorry for yourself,
Observing the loneliness and self-pity after separation.
Did it make sense to lie to me and deceive me like you did?
Questioning the logic behind lying and deceiving in the past.
If you run away from me,
Acknowledging the possibility of the other person leaving.
I'm not running after you (‘cause I'm so tired).
Declaring a refusal to chase after someone due to exhaustion.
If you turn away from this don't look back (‘cause I'll be gone).
Indicating a final departure, with no intention of return.
If you go then I'll forget you.
Expressing the willingness to forget if the person leaves.
When you're gone I won't miss you.
Stating that absence won't result in missing the departed person.
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned to deal with a broken heart.
Apologizing for a coping mechanism of detaching from emotional pain.
If you go then I'll forget you.
Reiterating the readiness to forget if the person chooses to leave.
When you're gone I won't miss you.
Affirming that absence won't lead to longing for the departed.
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned
Apologizing again for the adapted approach to dealing with heartbreak.
To deal with a broken heart and broken promises.
Linking dealing with a broken heart to broken promises.
It's been a long time since
Reflecting on the significant passage of time since the last encounter.
I've seen you and longer since we've talked.
Noting the extended period without communication.
And the last thing that I said was I had nothing to say.
Recalling the previous lack of meaningful words spoken.
Now I'm choking on my words.
Expressing difficulty in expressing thoughts now, possibly regretting past silence.
All the things I didn't say that could have made it all ok.
Regretting the unsaid words that could have potentially resolved issues.
