Guess I'll Hang My Tears out to Dry
Emotional Journey: Hanging Tears, Lost Love, and Moving On
Lyrics
The torch I carry is handsome
The torch I carry is attractive or impressive.
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Despite the pain it brings, the torch is valuable.
And when that twilight steals
Referencing a moment of transition or sadness.
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
Understanding the emotional struggle, akin to the lady in the harbor.
When I want rain, I get sunny weather
When hoping for one thing, the opposite occurs.
I'm just as blue as the sky
Feeling melancholy, comparing emotions to the vast blue sky.
Since love has gone, I can't put myself together
Unable to compose oneself after losing love.
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Deciding to express and confront the sadness by hanging tears out to dry.
Friends ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
Rejecting social invitations, preoccupied with heartbreak.
Must get her get a new alibi
Needing a new excuse to cover up the emotional struggle.
I stay at home and ask myself, where is she?
Staying at home and questioning the whereabouts of the lost love.
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Continuing to cope with the pain by hanging tears out to dry.
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Describing the tears as small and drying up.
Hanging on a stream of dreams
Symbolizing memories clinging to the thread of dreams.
Fly little memories, my little memories
Memories taking flight but still present, recalling shared dreams.
Remind her of our crazy schemes
Reminiscing about past shared aspirations and plans.
Then somebody says, just forget about her
Receiving advice to forget about the lost love.
So I gave her a treatment, a try
Attempting to follow the advice and move on.
And strangely enough I got along without her
Surprisingly managing to live without the lost love.
Then one day she passed me right by, oh well
Encountering the lost love again, but accepting the situation.
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Resignation to continue dealing with the lingering sadness.
