I Get Along Without You Very Well
Navigating Life's Seasons: Finding Strength in Solitude
Lyrics
I get along without you very well
I manage fine without your presence
Of course I do
A confirmation that the speaker indeed gets along without the person
Except when the soft rains fall
Except during gentle rainfall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
When the raindrops remind of past memories
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Recollection of the joy felt in the embrace of the person
Of course, I do
An affirmation of the ability to cope without the person
But I get along without you very well
Reiterating the capability to live without the person
I've forgotten you just like I should
Remembering the person as one would expect to
Of course I have
Confirming the act of forgetting in line with expectations
Except to hear your name
Except in instances where the person's name is mentioned
Or someone's laugh that is the same
Or encountering a laugh similar to the person's
But I've forgotten you just like I should
Asserting the successful act of forgetting
What a guy, what a fool am I
Self-reflection on being naive and foolish
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
An acknowledgment of the foolishness in thinking the heartache could deceive or impress even the moon
What's in store? Should I phone once more?
Contemplation about the future actions, questioning whether to contact the person again
No, it's best that I stick to my tune
Deciding it's wiser to remain steadfast in one's decisions
I get along without you very well
A reaffirmation of independence from the person
Of course I do
A repetition of the ability to live without the person
Except perhaps in spring
Except for the possibility of feeling affected in springtime
But I should never think of spring
An admonishment to avoid thoughts of spring due to its potential to cause emotional pain
For that would surely break my heart in two
Recognizing that thoughts of spring would deeply hurt
