All I Have Is Me
Echoes of Longing: Unveiling the Emotional Tapestry in 'All I Have Is Me'
Lyrics
You took one final look, my tears they turned to ice
You left with a final glance, and my sadness became numb
A frozen sacrifice, your body's heat's my paradise
Your departure is a cold sacrifice; the warmth of your body was my sanctuary
I've built up many layers but none can keep me warm
Despite building emotional barriers, none provide comfort
Deceiving is believing in the calm before the storm
Deception seems reassuring in the tranquility preceding chaos
We complicate our lives with things to define
We complicate life with unnecessary definitions
I threw it all away to see what was mine
I discarded everything to discover what truly belonged to me
Cleared out my insides, echoing hollow
Emptied myself, left hollow echoes within
I'll forever wallow, in your footsteps I follow
Endlessly dwelling, I follow the path you left behind
Warily I search for solidarity
Seeking connection cautiously amid our differences
In our disparity, your love for me was charity
Your love for me felt like a charitable act in our unequal relationship
This is reality, for all that it's worth
This is the harsh truth, no matter its value
If you're not perfect then I just don't belong on this earth
If not flawless, I feel unworthy of existence
And just like a disease
Similar to an affliction
All the faces I see remind me of you
All faces I encounter evoke memories of you
'Cause they seem just like you, wanna reach out, touch you
Because they resemble you, longing to reach and feel you
All I have is me, all I want is you, they seem just like you
All I have is myself, but all I desire is you; they resemble you
Why can't I forget you all I have in me is this memory
Unable to forget, only left with the memory of you
Fading alone
Fading away in solitude
I'm an array of imperfections on display
I am a display of flaws for all to see
My life has been on layaway since the day you went away
My life has been paused since the day you departed
I've watched myself decay, the ripe is turning rotten
Witnessing my own deterioration, from ripeness to decay
Feeling nostalgic, now you're gone but not forgotten
Nostalgic for your presence, gone but not erased from memory
I lack luster, what was new has turned to rust
Diminished brilliance, what was once new is now corroded
I'm filled up with disgust, wish the world would turn to dust
Filled with disgust, wishing for the world's demise
It's hard to readjust 'cause now I find it strange
Difficulty adapting, finding the changing world strange
To trust in something that will constantly change
It's challenging to trust in perpetual change
A long range exchange, for years I've sought you
Seeking a distant connection, pursuing you for years
The pain I've brought you, you've taught me what I've taught you
The pain I caused you, a reciprocal learning experience
We can't escape ourselves or even one another
We cannot escape ourselves or each other
I will never recover this is love like no other
Irreversible love, unlike any other
I'm gonna rip, rip you out of me
Expressing a desire to remove you from my being
I'm fuck, fuck you out of me
Angrily wishing to erase all traces of you
Never you
Repeating the impossibility of finding someone like you
Never you
-Never you
-Never you
-They could never be you
-Never be you
-Never be you
-They could never be
-They could never be you
