Lyrics
I let go of the past
I have released my grip on the past.
Though sometimes I wished it last
Despite occasional desires for it to endure.
Patience thin and running fast
My patience is thin and diminishing quickly.
You are quite the contrast
You exhibit a noticeable contrast.
But I wish I would've moved on
I regret not moving on earlier.
When I started to hurt just from holding on
I should have let go when the emotional pain began.
And I hate the way you thought you were so kind
I dislike how you believed yourself to be kind to me.
To me
Referring to the person being addressed.
But honestly
But in reality.
Just leave me be
I ask you to leave me alone.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or musical effect.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
-So simple though it seems
Despite its apparent simplicity.
Suffocating hard to breathe
It feels suffocating, making it hard to breathe.
Drowning in a silent scream
Metaphorically drowning in a silent scream.
It's not always what it seems
Things are not always as they appear.
But I wish I would've moved on
I regret not moving on when it felt like a losing situation.
When it started to feel like nobody won
When it seemed like nobody was benefiting.
And I hate the way I thought you were the one
I dislike the mistaken belief that you were the right person for me.
For me
Referring to the person being addressed.
But honestly
But truthfully.
Just leave me be
I request to be left alone.
All I ever wanted was to be the one
All I ever desired was to be your chosen one.
But you found comfort in the arms of a new someone
However, you found solace in the arms of someone new.
Now looking back to wasted time I ask myself
Reflecting on wasted time, I question my decision to stay.
Why I stayed
A rhetorical question pondering why I remained.
