Lyrics
I lit a candle in your honor today
I performed a symbolic gesture of respect or remembrance for you by lighting a candle today.
Prayed for forgiveness for the things that I said
I sought forgiveness through prayer for the words I spoke in the past.
And now I wake up and see I was wrong
Upon reflection, I realize my previous perspective was incorrect.
All those years wasted / now come and gone
Many years were wasted, and now they have passed without achieving much.
How many years have I been this way
I contemplate the duration of time I've spent in this state of being.
The lines grow deeper / time fades away
The visible signs of aging increase, and time continues to elapse.
Now etched in stone don't have the strength anymore
Decisions are now permanent, and I lack the strength to overcome obstacles.
To break down these walls again
I struggle to break down emotional barriers once again.
I lit a candle in your honor today
A repetition of the earlier act of lighting a candle in your honor.
Everything will come around again
Expressing optimism that circumstances will improve in the future.
And you never know that maybe someday
Hopeful that, at some point, things will improve.
Everything will come around again
Reiteration of the belief in a positive turn of events.
Now I see you on the other side
A realization of your presence in an afterlife or another realm.
Sunshine raining down upon your face
Imagery of a peaceful scene with sunlight on your face.
You look so beautiful that place where you live
Describing the beauty of your current existence.
You walk among your dreams we talked about
You are living the dreams we once discussed.
So I stand here and I stare
Contemplation and observation of your present state.
In my garden of neglect
Feeling neglected in a personal space, akin to a garden.
Never noticed it before
Realization of neglect that was previously unnoticed.
That it's winter all the time
An acknowledgment that it feels like a perpetual emotional winter.
Was too busy staring at
Past preoccupation with your accomplishments, missing my own surroundings.
Your garden that you grew in time
Your achievements in time overshadowed my own.
I can see it took a lot of years
Recognition of the time and effort you invested in your pursuits.
Your colors fill my mind
Your vibrant and memorable presence lingers in my thoughts.
I lit a candle in your honor today
A repetition of the act of honoring you with a candle.
Everything will come around again
Reaffirmation of the belief that circumstances will improve.
And you never know that maybe someday
Hope that, at some point, positive changes will occur.
Everything will come around again
Reiteration of the anticipation of better times.
Even though the years keep passing / I reflect
Reflection on the passing of time and contemplation of lost love.
About the one I truly loved and pushed away
Regret for not appreciating and pushing away someone truly loved.
Suddenly I stop and feel
A sudden realization and acknowledgment of a familiar emotional pain.
That winter rain I know so well
Recollection of a poignant memory associated with winter rain.
And close my eyes
A moment of introspection involving closing one's eyes.
Wish you all the best
Expressing good wishes despite the separation.
And you never know
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the future.
I lit a candle in your honor today
Repetition of the symbolic act of lighting a candle in your honor.
Everything will come around
Optimism about the cyclical nature of life.
And you never know that maybe someday
Reiteration of the hope that positive changes will come.
Everything will come around
Hopeful anticipation of a brighter future.
I lit a candle in your honor today
Repetition of the symbolic act of honoring you with a candle.
Prayed for forgiveness for the things that I said
Repetition of seeking forgiveness for past words.
And you never know that maybe someday
Reiteration of the hope that positive changes will come.
Everything will come around
Hopeful anticipation of a brighter future.
