Lyrics
Alone
Feeling isolated or solitary.
It's never the same
Things are different from how they used to be.
When you're missing
When you're absent or not present.
You've been gone
You have been away or not around.
It's never easy making time for me is it?
It's challenging to allocate time for myself in our relationship.
Why did you say that, now I'm gone you want me back
Your statement led to my departure, and now you desire me back.
I never meant all those things no I didn't
I didn't intend or mean what I said.
No you didn't now
Confirmation of the previous statement.
I've been losing sleep
I've been experiencing insomnia or sleeplessness.
Thinking about the things that I shouldn't have said
Regretting thoughts and words spoken in the past.
Have you been missing me
Are you longing for my presence?
Has it been long enough yet
Is the duration of separation sufficient?
Instead of being lonely
Instead of feeling alone, perhaps we should consider a different perspective.
Maybe we should both see the other side
Suggesting reconciliation or understanding from both sides.
Oh oh I've been losing sleep
Reiteration of losing sleep due to distress.
Cause I've been living in a really big bad dream
Feeling like living within a significant and distressing nightmare.
I hope
An expression of hope.
We haven't changed
Hoping that fundamental aspects of our relationship remain unchanged.
There are things that I can't take back
There are actions or words I regret and cannot undo.
Can we start again?
Asking for the possibility of starting anew.
It's never easy making time for me is it?
Reiteration of the difficulty in finding time for self-care within the relationship.
Why did you say that, now I'm gone you want me back
Similar sentiment expressed in line 6, emphasizing regret for a statement leading to separation.
I never meant all those things no I didn't
Reiteration of not intending or meaning the things said.
No you didn't now
Confirmation of the previous statement.
I've been losing sleep
Continued experience of sleep deprivation due to distress.
Thinking about the things that I shouldn't have said
Continued regret over past words or thoughts.
Have you been missing me
Questioning if the absence has led to a longing for each other.
Has it been long enough yet
Asking if the duration of separation feels adequate.
Instead of being lonely
Suggesting exploring a different approach rather than feeling lonely.
Maybe we should both see the other side
Reiteration of the idea of mutual understanding or compromise.
Oh oh I've been losing sleep
Reiterating distress and sleeplessness due to the current situation.
Cause I've been living in a really big bad dream
Comparing life's current state to being trapped in a distressing and overwhelming nightmare.
