Lyrics
We can't simply start over
We cannot easily start anew.
I don't know what to say to you except you changed
I'm unsure of what to say to you, except that you have undergone a change.
But change is good in the eyes of the beholder
Change is viewed positively from the perspective of the observer.
I guess we're getting older
It seems we are aging or maturing.
Like real people do
Similar to how real people naturally evolve.
How was I supposed to know
I lacked knowledge about what was expected from me.
The right thing to say to you
Finding the right words to say to you was challenging.
When I don't even know myself
Expressing uncertainty about my own identity.
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Observing the pain in your eyes.
Trembling from the fire that we started
Trembling due to the consequences of the emotional fire we ignited.
Within ourselves
Internal conflict within ourselves.
Hanging on to something that we outgrow
Clutching onto something that we have outgrown.
Never has an outcome
Expecting an outcome that never feels right.
That feels right
A situation where nothing seems to be the correct choice.
And maybe one day we'll look back and say that
Potential reflection on the past, hoping to see that we were meant to be.
We were meant to be
Speculating on a possible destiny.
We can't hold on any longer
We cannot endure this any longer.
We will never be the same us again
We will never return to the same state as before.
One foot out the door but it hurts more to
Considering leaving, yet the thought of living without you is painful.
Live my life without you
Weighing the difficulty of life without your presence.
But how was I supposed to know
Similar to line 6, uncertainty about what to say to you.
The right thing to say to you
Reiterating the challenge of expressing the right words without self-awareness.
When I don't even know who I am
Emphasizing the lack of self-identity.
And you can hear the pain in my voice
Your ability to sense the pain in my voice.
Cos I realized I no longer have a choice
Realizing the absence of a choice.
Hanging on to something that we outgrow
Clinging to something that has become irrelevant or outdated.
Never has an outcome
Anticipating an unsatisfactory outcome.
That feels right
Similar to line 14, expecting a situation where nothing feels right.
And maybe one day we'll look back and say that
Repeating the hope of looking back and finding a destined connection.
We were meant to be
Reiterating the speculation about a potential meant-to-be scenario.
We're not friends not enemies
We are not in a friendly or adversarial relationship.
We're just strangers with some memories
We are merely acquaintances with shared memories.
And I hope that you know
Expressing a realization that we are designed for detachment.
We were made for letting go
Accepting the idea of letting go.
Hanging on to something that we outgrow
Repeating the theme of holding onto something that has become obsolete.
Never has an outcome
Expecting an outcome that feels incorrect.
That feels right
Similar to line 14 and 28, describing a situation where nothing feels right.
And maybe one day we'll look back and wish that
Reiterating the hope of looking back, this time with a sense of regret.
We were meant to be
Expressing a wish that we were meant to be.
