Then and Only Then
Yearning Echoes: Finding Solace in Love's Awaited Return
Lyrics
In your haste you left and said you'd be returning
In your haste, you departed with the promise of returning.
In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when
In my grief, I forgot to inquire about the specific time of your return.
In my lonely room I sit and count the hours
In the solitude of my room, I patiently count the passing hours.
Every minute hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in
Every minute, I hold onto the hope that you'll suddenly appear and walk in.
For then and only then will I stop crying
For only at that moment, and no other, will I cease shedding tears.
And this aching breaking heart of mind will mend
This painful and fractured heart of mine will only heal then.
Not until I feel your arms around me
My happiness is dependent on feeling your embrace.
Will I be happy and I live for then and only then
I yearn for that specific time, and my existence revolves around it.
All that's left inside my heart is just your echo
Within my heart, only your lingering presence remains.
And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling
A fragile hope sustains me, a thread I desperately cling to.
But if I keep holding on maybe some day
If I persist in holding onto this hope, perhaps one day...
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again
You might recall where you left me and return for me once more.
For then and only then will I stop crying
Only at that specific moment will my tears finally cease.
And this aching breaking heart of mind will mend
My heart, in agony and broken, will find healing only then.
Not until I feel your arms around me
True happiness will only be mine when your arms envelop me.
Will I be happy and I live for then and only then
My existence is dedicated to that precise moment, and only that.
And I live for then and only then
And I exist solely for that specific moment, and none other.
