When My Day Was Done
Echoes of Resilience: Henry Andrews' Reflections on Moving On
Lyrics
There's only so much my-pride can take
Expressing the limits of personal pride and its endurance.
Only so many sighs I can make
Acknowledging a limit to the number of sighs expressing emotion.
Hmm, fore I call your name
Contemplating before calling someone's name, suggesting hesitation.
Hmm, fore I call your name
Repeating the contemplation, emphasizing the weight of the decision.
I cast a stone, but unlike before
Contrasting a previous action of casting a stone without expecting an echo.
I can't hear an echo anymore
Noticing the absence of a response or consequence, indicating a change.
Hmm, hmm, all's said and done
Reflecting on completed actions and situations with a sense of closure.
Hmm, hmm, all's said and done
Reiterating the finality of the past, emphasizing acceptance.
You're living fine without me by your side
Acknowledging the other person's ability to thrive independently.
I've always found another way to get by
Asserting personal resilience and adaptability in challenging circumstances.
Hmm, so don't think twice
Advising not to dwell on the past, suggesting moving forward without hesitation.
Hmm, hmm don't think twice
Reiterating the advice to avoid overthinking and indecision.
Do you remember when your day was done
Recalling a time when the speaker was there for the other person.
How I was there when you had no one
Highlighting the speaker's past support during the other person's struggles.
Hmm, hmm, who'd you think I was
Pondering the other person's perception of the speaker during that time.
Hmm, hmm, who'd you think I was
Repeating the pondering, emphasizing the uncertainty of perception.
Did you know when my day was through
Reflecting on the speaker's own experiences of waiting for the other person.
I waited all night for you
Reiterating the speaker's patience and commitment in waiting.
Hmm, hmm, what could you do
Pondering the other person's actions and decisions during that time.
Hmm, hmm, what could you do
Repeating the pondering, emphasizing the uncertainty of the other person's choices.
I've always hoped you'd find some peace
Expressing a long-standing hope for the other person's well-being and peace.
And if you've found it, I'll leave you be
Indicating a willingness to let go if the other person has found peace.
Hmm, if that's what you need
Reflecting on the other person's needs and expressing acceptance.
Hmm, hmm, that's what you need
Reiterating the acceptance of the other person's needs and decisions.
But if you're scared of rapping on my door
Addressing a potential fear or hesitation the other person may have.
Cuz of all the things that've come before
Referencing past experiences that may create apprehension.
Hmm, hmm, don't worry
Assuring the other person not to worry about potential negative outcomes.
Hmm, hmm, don't worry
Reiterating the assurance and expressing a lack of concern.
