My First Night Without You
Navigating the Emptiness: My First Night Without You by Cyndi Lauper
Lyrics
I'm driving home from work
Driving home from work, realizing the absence
Knowing you're not there
Acknowledging your absence at home
I used to hurry home
Past routine of rushing home no longer exists
Now I don't even care
Indifference towards returning home
The sun is in my eyes
Glare of the sun obstructing vision
So I can't see
Difficulty seeing due to sunlight
But when it sets down behind the
Anticipating relief when the sun sets
Mountain it's gonna be
Expecting emotional release as night falls
My first night without you
Expressing the first night without the person
My first night without you
Reiteration of the first night's significance
My first night without you
Emphasizing the impact of the first night
Oh...without you
Emotional exclamation about the absence
I sit here like a fool
Feeling foolish, reminiscing about past moments
Remembering everything
Nostalgic recall of shared experiences
The way we used to talk
Recollection of conversations and shared songs
The songs that we used to sing
Remembering moments of musical connection
I've got to try and leave
Attempting to move beyond the past
The past behind
Struggling to let go of previous memories
But my memory's so good
Memory retention causing mental distress
I think that I'm losing my mind
Perception of losing mental stability
My first night without you
Reiteration of the first night's impact
My first night without you
Stressing the significance of the absence
And I wonder what I'll do
Pondering actions in the absence
Oh...without you
Emotional speculation without the person
Will I be able to sleep
Concern about ability to sleep
Will I lie in my bed and weep
Emotional distress leading to potential tears in bed
What if I forget
Fear of forgetting and longing for the person
And reach for you
Desire to reach out despite absence
Will I dream about you
Expectation of dreaming about the person
My first night...my first night
Reiteration of the impact of the first night
My first night without you
Emphasizing the absence once more
My first night without you
Repetition of the emotional impact
And I wonder what I'll do, oh...
Continued contemplation of actions without the person
My first night without you
Stressing the significance of the first night's absence
My first night without you
Reiteration of the emotional impact
And I wonder how I'll get through
Speculation about coping without the person
Oh...without you
Emotional exclamation about the absence
