Things Left Behind
Unraveling Emotions: Echoes of Abandoned Memories
Lyrics
I bought your perfume
I purchased a fragrance that reminds me of you.
When you left
You left.
To remind me
The perfume serves as a reminder of a past version of myself.
Of when I was something less
Reflecting on a time when I felt less significant or changed.
I have your jeans upon my shelf
Your jeans are displayed on my shelf.
And I wear them
I wear them to embody a different identity.
To feel like someone else
Putting on the jeans helps me feel like someone else.
And I love it
I find joy in this act.
Yes, I love it
Expressing love for the experience.
When I see that you're alone again
Observing that you are alone again brings satisfaction.
And I swear
I promise or assert that...
You pretend not to care
...you feign indifference.
Ooh
Expressing emotion or emphasis.
Your chargers plugged in
Your charger is connected to the wall.
At the wall
Within a house unfamiliar to you.
Of a house
Describing the location of the wall.
That you've never seen before
I wear a dress you liked.
I wear the dress
It now belongs to someone else's gaze.
I knew you liked
Referencing a past affection for you.
Because now, it belongs to other eyes
The dress now has a new owner.
And I loved you
Expressing past love for you.
Yes, I loved you
Reaffirming the previous statement.
But I can't escape the feeling
Feeling unable to escape the notion that you are at fault.
That your to blame
You are blamed for the changes in my life.
For all this change
Suggesting a negative impact on the speaker's life.
Ooh
Expressing emotion or emphasis.
And of all the things you've left behind
List of things you left behind.
Your face
Your face is fading from my memory.
It seems to have left my mind
The speaker struggles to recall your face.
And the way you used to tell me
Recalling the way you used to bid "Goodnight."
"Goodnight"
Reflecting on past expressions of affection.
And for now
In the present moment, the fog has lifted.
I see the fog has raised
Noticing and acknowledging your flaws.
And I see your flaws
Acknowledging the changes in you.
And the ways you've changed
Struggling to communicate forgiveness to you.
And I just can't seem to tell you
The speaker forgives you, expressed emotionally.
I forgive you
Expressing emotion or emphasis.
Ooh
Concluding expression or emphasis.
