Lyrics
Simple things can be the hardest to do
Simple tasks can be challenging.
I learned that because of you
Learned this difficulty because of someone (possibly the person addressed in the song).
Simple words can be the hardest to say
Expressing oneself can be difficult.
I learned that the very same way
Learned this difficulty through personal experience.
I wish I could have read what I saw
Wishing to have understood what was observed.
I would've told you to stay
If understood, would have advised the person to stay.
Cause it's been different
Things have changed since the person's departure.
Since you were gone
Impact on everyone's paths since the person left.
We have all gone different ways
Individuals have gone in different directions.
You were speaking sign language
The person communicated in a way not easily understood.
And I, was blind
Speaker was oblivious to the person's message.
Took a while to get the right image
Took time to perceive the correct impression.
But there, just wasn't time
But time constraints hindered a proper understanding.
You were there but you were lost
The person was present but emotionally distant.
Just waiting to be found
Waiting to be noticed or recognized.
No one came around
No one paid attention or came around.
You we're speaking
The person was communicating.
And now it's changed since you were gone
Changes occurred since the person's departure.
Got my way and it all went wrong
Things went wrong despite getting one's way.
Never forget the last day I saw
Memorable last day seeing the person.
You are, you are, you are
Reiteration of the person's significance.
You were speaking sign language
The person communicated using a unique method.
And I, was blind
The speaker was initially unaware of the person's intentions.
Took a while to get the right image
Took time to form a correct perception.
But there, just wasn't time
Time constraints prevented a thorough understanding.
You were there but you were lost
The person was physically present but emotionally distant.
Just waiting to be found
Waiting to be acknowledged or discovered.
No one came around
No one came to notice or help.
You were speaking
The person was communicating.
You were speaking
Repetition emphasizing the person's communication.
You were speaking
Continued emphasis on the person's communication.
I'm not saying you weren't strong
Acknowledging the person's strength.
I guess there is pain that resides in us all
Recognizing shared pain within everyone.
When it gets hard, your vail will fall
In tough times, true feelings become apparent.
You will confess it all
The person will eventually reveal everything.
You will confess it all
The person will openly confess everything.
