Never Said
Embracing Shadows: A Melancholic Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
When your last cigarette of the night Burn out
Reflecting on the end of the night when the last cigarette burns out.
When you finish that bottle and you Lay it down
Contemplating the completion of a bottle and placing it down.
When you're lovers are gone and your Friends go home
Feeling alone when both lovers and friends have left.
That's when you think of me the most
Expressing that thoughts of the speaker are most prevalent in moments of solitude.
So now lie to me tell me
Requesting a lie, asking to be told reassuring words.
Hold me close and tell me you'll never Leave
Desiring emotional closeness and a promise of permanence.
And I've grown so cold im used to you leaving before the dawn
Admitting emotional detachment and becoming accustomed to a partner leaving early.
Well I'll hold up the covers while you Crawl in bed
Offering comfort by holding up covers as the partner crawls into bed.
Hanging onto words you've never said
Clutching onto unspoken words, hoping for verbal affirmation.
Hanging onto words you've never said
Repeating the theme of holding onto words that were never spoken.
Well I sit alone here in my room with Nothing but regrets and the thoughts Of you
Being alone with regrets and thoughts of the person in a room.
Why do I do this to myself
Questioning self-destructive behavior and pondering the reason behind it.
Your love is a drug and I need some Help
Comparing love to a drug and expressing a need for assistance or support.
So now lie to me tell me
Asking again for a comforting lie, seeking reassurance.
Hold me close and tell me you'll never Leave
Desiring emotional closeness and a promise of permanence, repeating the theme.
And I've grown so cold im used to you Leaving before the dawn
Acknowledging emotional numbness and familiarity with the partner leaving early.
Well I'll hold up the covers while you Crawl in bed
Continuing the image of holding up covers for the partner to crawl into bed.
Hanging onto words you've never said
Reiterating the idea of clinging to unspoken words, hoping for verbal affirmation.
Hanging onto words you've never said
Emphasizing the repetition of holding onto words that were never spoken.
When your last cigarette of the night Burns out
Recalling the end of the night with the last cigarette burning out, repeating from line 1.
When you finish that bottle and you Lay it down
Reiterating the completion of a bottle and placing it down, repeating from line 2.
