Lyrics
I let you go in a lucid dream
I experienced your departure in a clear dream state.
I guess my heart is stronger
My emotional resilience is more robust.
When I’m asleep
This strength emerges when I am in a state of sleep.
We’ve hit the aftermath
We are now dealing with the consequences.
After all that’s passed
After going through everything that happened.
It was a shot worth taking
Despite the challenges, the risk was worthwhile.
I wanna see the world through your eyes
I desire to perceive the world from your perspective.
I wanna feel how it feels to be alive
I want to experience the sensation of being alive as you do.
I wanna hear the words you said
I wish to hear and internalize your spoken words.
Echo in my head
I want your words to reverberate in my thoughts repeatedly.
Over and over again
Repetition of the desire to relive shared moments.
I’ll never forget the day you left
I will always remember the day you departed.
Or the weeks that followed after that
Recollection of the subsequent weeks.
I was holding on; so rightly wrong
I clung to the relationship despite its inherent wrongness.
And just hoping you would call me back
Hoping for your return and a call from you.
But time provides closure
Time brings closure and resolution.
And I’m sure that you know
Assurance that the departed person understands.
That there’s a life that you made here
Recognition of a life built together.
And you still have a home with me
The offer of a continuing home and connection.
I’m saying “I’m sorry”
An expression of regret and apology.
For the way this all worked out
Apologizing for the way things unfolded.
It’s in the pride I swallowed
Mention of swallowing pride.
You took a path that I can’t follow
Acknowledging a path taken that cannot be followed.
Its all I can do
Acceptance of limitations.
No longer afraid to lose you
No longer fearing the loss of the person.
You can’t take back what you never said
Recognition that unspoken words cannot be reclaimed.
And you cannot miss
You can't feel the absence of what was never communicated.
What you left instead
The void left by your departure can't be missed.
I wanna forget the day you left
A desire to erase the memory of your departure.
And the weeks that followed after that
Mention of the subsequent weeks once more.
I’m still holding on; I know it’s wrong
Admitting to holding onto the past despite knowing it's wrong.
I’m just hoping that you’ll take me back
Hope for reconciliation and a second chance.
But time provides closure
Reassurance that time will bring closure.
And I’m sure that you know
Confirmation of the departed person's understanding.
That there’s a life that you made here
Acknowledgment of the life built together.
And you still have a home with me
Continued offer of a home and connection.
I’m saying “I’m sorry”
Reiteration of regret and apology.
For the way this all worked out
Apology for the way events unfolded.
It’s in the pride I swallowed
Mention of swallowing one's pride.
You took a path that I can’t follow
Acknowledging the impossibility of following the chosen path.
