Lyrics
Well my brother says I can't live in the past.
Feeling pressured by my brother to focus on the present and not dwell on the past.
But when you're more depressed by what's ahead
When I'm more affected by what's coming in the future, I tend to revert to old hopes and aspirations.
You start believing in old dreams very fast.
Rediscovering old dreams quickly in the face of current difficulties.
There were some awful times, and then there were some more.
Reflecting on past difficult times, suggesting a prolonged period of hardship.
But now remembering the worst of it-
Despite recalling the worst moments, they don't feel as severe anymore.
It doesn't seem to be so bad anymore.
Past difficulties seem less intense or impactful in hindsight.
Well I don't know what to do.
Uncertainty about what action to take.
Whether I leave or stay with you-
Weighing the decision to either leave or remain in a relationship.
I get the message either way.
Acknowledging receiving a clear message regardless of the decision made.
I get the message either way.
Reiterating the understanding of receiving a message regardless of the outcome.
Well Christian says that I don't want you now.
Someone named Christian insists that I don't desire you anymore.
But what he doesn't seem to ever grasp
Christian fails to understand that I never truly had strong feelings for you.
Is that I never cared about you anyhow.
Clarifying a lack of emotional investment in the relationship.
It was a dirty way to leave me by the road.
Describing a hurtful abandonment, being left stranded.
And when I finally found my way to town
After finding my way through difficulties, you appeared with a seemingly insincere smile.
You stood there with a smile so everyone would know.
Publicly displaying happiness, possibly to save face or for others' perception.
Well I don't know what to do.
Similar uncertainty about the decision to leave or remain.
Whether I leave or stay with you-
Reiterating the reception of a message regardless of the chosen path.
I get the message either way.
Acknowledging the clear communication received, irrespective of the decision.
I get the message either way
Reaffirming the understanding of receiving a message regardless of the choice made.
