Heartache in Seeing You With Another: Hannah Trager's Emotional Reflection
Lyrics
It's been a couple months now
Reflecting on the passage of time since the breakup.
But it feels like yesterday
Despite the time, the emotional impact feels recent.
I swear I never think about you
Claiming not to actively think about the person.
Just almost everyday
Admitting frequent thoughts about the person despite denial.
I saw you with a new friend
Observing the person with a new acquaintance.
Or was she something more
Questioning the nature of the person's relationship with the new acquaintance.
I didn't wanna make assumptions
Choosing not to make assumptions about the person's new connection.
By the way you held her door
Noticing a gesture that raises questions about the person's feelings.
I don't know why I do this to myself
Expressing confusion about self-destructive behavior.
I keep going places knowing all too well
Continuing to attend places where the person is expected to be present.
That you'll be there but you won't be by yourself
Acknowledging the presence of the person with someone else at these places.
It hurts like hell to see you with someone else
Conveying emotional pain upon witnessing the person with someone else.
I keep asking all our old friends
Seeking information about the person through mutual friends.
To tell me how you've been
Inquiring about the person's well-being from shared acquaintances.
And I know that it's kind of stupid
Acknowledging the irrationality of continuous curiosity.
But I can't stop wondering
Unable to stop wondering about the person despite awareness.
Does she kiss you like I kissed you
Comparing the intimacy with the person to the new connection.
Does she keep you warm at night
Questioning the emotional support provided by the new relationship.
Would you pick it up if I called you
Contemplating reaching out to the person via phone.
Cause I think that I just might
Expressing uncertainty about making contact despite a desire.
I don't know why I do this to myself
Reiterating confusion about self-inflicted emotional pain.
I keep going places knowing all too well
Persisting in attending places where encounters with the person are expected.
That you'll be there but you won't be by yourself
Anticipating the person's presence but not alone.
It hurts like hell to see you with someone else
Expressing intense emotional distress at witnessing the person with someone else.
After a while I'll forget you
Anticipating eventual healing and forgetting the person.
Secretly I'm happy for you
Secretly wishing happiness for the person despite personal pain.
But don't think for a second that it doesn't hurt me to see you
Acknowledging the internal struggle and pain at witnessing the person's happiness.
With someone else
Reiterating the emotional impact of seeing the person with someone else.
I don't know why I do this to myself
Continuing the pattern of self-inflicted emotional turmoil.
I keep going places knowing all too well
Persisting in attending places connected to shared memories.
That you'll be there but you won't be by yourself
Expecting the person's presence but with a new companion.
It hurts like hell to see you with someone else
Expressing ongoing emotional pain from witnessing the person with someone else.
Someone else
Repeating the pain caused by seeing the person with someone else.
Someone else
