Lyrics
Should of listened to someone, love has gone
Regretting not heeding advice; love has ended, and there's no escape.
I've got nowhere to run.
Feeling trapped with nowhere to go.
I should of listened to someone, love has gone
Reiterating the regret of not listening; love is lost.
I've got nowhere to run.
Continuation of feeling stuck with no escape.
She's gone and I know, that the pain is beginnin' to show,
Acknowledging the departure of a significant other; the pain is becoming evident.
I'm hurting inside.
Experiencing internal pain and hurt.
My world fell apart, but love's still burning in my heart,
Despite personal turmoil, love still lingers; seeking a hiding place.
But where can I hide?
Questioning where to find refuge.
Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone,
Love has become cold and isolating; tired of solitude.
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil
Expressing the act of staying awake and active during the night, possibly reflecting on lost love.
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil.
Reiteration of burning the midnight oil, emphasizing emotional distress.
There's a voice in my head runnin' over everything she said,
Recalling conversations and struggling to forget.
And I can't erase it.
The persistent voice in the head, unable to erase memories.
Love was a game, well I lost and it's a cryin' shame,
Love was treated as a game, resulting in loss and regret.
But I gotta face it.
Acceptance of the need to face the consequences of lost love.
Nowhere to go, and time is moving slow,
Feeling stranded with time passing slowly.
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil, yeah, burnin'
Repetition of burning the midnight oil, emphasizing the ongoing struggle.
Burnin' the midnight oil
Continuation of the metaphorical burning of the midnight oil.
Hot water getting ready to boil,
Introducing a metaphor of being in hot water, with emotions reaching a boiling point.
Drink coffee 'til my nerves are wired
Using the preparation of hot water and excessive coffee as a metaphor for heightened emotions.
I'm so high, I think I'll never be tired.
Feeling elevated and energized despite emotional turmoil.
Feeling sad and I'm mad, all the bad luck that I've had.
Expressing sadness and frustration over a string of bad luck.
Should of listened to someone, love has gone,
Repeating the regret of not heeding advice and losing love.
I've got nowhere to run.
Reiteration of feeling trapped with no escape.
I should of listened to someone, love has gone,
Repeating the regret of not listening and the consequences of lost love.
I've got nowhere to run.
Continuation of feeling stuck and helpless.
Should of listened to someone, love has gone,
Repeating the theme of regret and lost love.
I've got nowhere to run.
Reiteration of being trapped and having nowhere to go.
I should of listened to someone, love has gone,
Repeating the theme of regret and lost love.
I've got nowhere to run.
Continuation of feeling stuck and helpless.
I'll lay back on my bed, memories runnin' through my head,
Lying on the bed, reflecting on memories and trying to forget.
I tried to forget.
Struggling to erase memories; acknowledging difficulty in moving on.
The clock's striking twelve,
Noting the late hour (midnight) with an unresolved internal struggle.
I'm still trying to convince myself it's not over yet.
Still trying to convince oneself that the situation is not over.
Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone,
Reiteration of the emotional toll of love turning cold.
Yea, burnin' the midnight oil
Repeating the theme of burning the midnight oil in the face of emotional challenges.
Yeah-yeah, burnin' the midnight oil.
Final repetition of burning the midnight oil, emphasizing the persistent emotional struggle.
