Lyrics
Guess I always have to learn the hard way just to see
Recognition of a pattern of learning through difficult experiences.
Easy never comes, easy only goes away
Highlighting the transitory nature of easiness; it doesn't last.
So here I am once again
Expressing a return to a familiar situation or state.
Me, myself and my feelings torn
Acknowledging personal emotional struggles.
Even though I knew all along you were not end game
A realization that someone was not the ultimate or ideal partner.
It still hurts
Despite knowing the truth, the emotional pain persists.
Even though I knew all along that you wouldn't stay
Emphasizing the emotional impact of the expected departure.
It still hurts
Reiterating the enduring emotional pain despite foreknowledge.
Up in my tower, when you got me out
Referencing a metaphorical tower where one felt safe or secure.
I saw painted pictures, the ones you planted in my mind
Describing the impact of external influences on perceptions.
Wish it was only my hair that you played with
Expressing a wish for superficial concerns rather than deep emotions.
No ever after here
Rejecting the notion of a traditional happily ever after.
So I guess I always have to learn the hard way just to see
Reiteration of the need to learn through challenging experiences.
Easy never comes, easy only goes away
Re-emphasizing the fleeting nature of ease.
So here I am once again
Repeating the return to a familiar emotional state.
Me, myself and my feelings torn
Acknowledgment of internal emotional turmoil.
Even though I knew all along you were not end game
Affirmation that the person was not the ultimate romantic choice.
It still hurts
Acknowledging lingering emotional pain despite awareness.
Even though I knew all along that you wouldn't stay
Reiterating the emotional impact of the expected departure.
It still hurts
Expressing persistent emotional pain despite prior knowledge.
Now I'm back to writing sad songs, overthinking, reading fairytales on my own, all alone
Describing a return to solitary, introspective activities following a breakup.
