Lyrics
Days are longer
Days seem prolonged or difficult.
By yourself
Experiencing loneliness or solitude.
You sold your soul to someone else
Made a commitment or sacrifice to someone else.
Now you're paying,
Facing consequences or retribution now.
Can't you see
Failure to recognize the repercussions.
You want to pass it back to me
Attempting to shift the burden or consequences back to the speaker.
Told you once,
Previous warnings or advice given.
Told you twice
Reiteration of advice or warning.
When you're gone
When absent or departed, don't anticipate a return.
Don't expect to come back
Consequences of actions include not being welcome back.
Things don't work out
Plans or expectations not unfolding as intended.
Like I planned
The listener has involved themselves with someone else.
'Cause you've got
Warning of impending danger or trouble.
Yourself another man
Confirmation of the listener's involvement with another person.
Danger signal, danger ahead
Signs indicating potential harm or difficulties ahead.
I know you'd be better
Suggesting improvement if the listener thinks the speaker is no longer present.
If you thought,
Positive outcome if the listener believes the speaker is no longer alive.
If you thought I was dead
Emphasizing the positive change if the listener assumes the speaker is deceased.
I won't tell you,
Commitment not to deceive or lie.
I won't tell you no lie
Assurance that the speaker will return in a different form.
I'll come back
The speaker will come back to haunt the listener in another guise.
And haunt you as another guy
Reiteration of plans not going as intended due to the listener's involvement with someone else.
Things don't work out
Repetition of the theme that plans have gone awry due to the listener's choices.
Like I planned them
Confirmation of unexpected outcomes in plans.
'Cause you've got
Reiterating the listener's involvement with someone else as a cause of the deviation from plans.
Yourself another man
Final confirmation of the listener's commitment to another person.
