Lyrics
Been crying tears of gold
Expressing intense emotions, crying tears of gold suggests valuable, emotional pain.
So much was left untold
Many things were left unsaid or undisclosed in the relationship.
You were there but your soul was stone cold
Even though physically present, the person's soul or emotions were distant and unresponsive.
Baby somehow I made it alone
The speaker managed to overcome challenges and be independent despite the emotional struggles.
Who are ya?
Repeated questioning about the identity of the person, expressing confusion and uncertainty.
Who are ya?
-Can’t see ya and the days go by
-Baby, who are ya?
-Who are ya?
-Don’t you ever come to me
-Baby, who are ya?
-Who are ya?
-There’s no face, all I see’s a lie
-Baby, who are ya?
-Who are ya?
-Been feeling way too old
Feeling emotionally worn out and aged prematurely.
All summers feel too cold

I am ready to have it all sold
Ready to let go of everything emotionally, possibly to move on.
’Cause I’m buying myself the whole world
The speaker is prioritizing self-worth and independence by metaphorically buying the whole world for themselves.
You wanna leave me
Conflicting emotions in the relationship – the desire to leave but also a desire to be wanted, questioning the sustainability of this dynamic.
But then you want me
-How can we live this way?
-Boy I can show you
Offering to show understanding and familiarity with the person, emphasizing the impact they had on the speaker.
How well I know you
-You made me feel this way
-Oh my God, Oh my God
Expressing a heightened emotional state, possibly indicating intense feelings of love or distress.
I feel this way
-Can’t help but call ya
A struggle between the urge to reach out to the person and the realization that continuing the same way is not sustainable.
But then I know I
-Can’t go another day
