Sober
Love's Sobriety: A Melodic Tale of Heartbreak and Closure
Lyrics
Saw the letter
Saw a letter that was received in October.
That you wrote me last October
The letter conveyed a need for distance and time away.
Said you needed time and space from all of this
The request for space was due to being intoxicated.
You were far from sober
A mention of the caller being far from sober.
Called me said you needed closure
The caller sought closure but circled back to the beginning.
But you brought it back to where it all began
A conversation at 4 AM where the caller expresses loneliness.
4 AM say you're all alone
Unresponsive in the morning when contact is attempted.
Morning comes won't pick up the phone
The relationship is now concluded.
And now it's over
The end of the relationship is emphasized.
It's all over
Reiteration that it's all finished.
You never love me when you're sober
The revelation that love wasn’t expressed when sober.
You never love me when you're sober
Repeated emphasis on lack of love when sober.
And now it's over
The relationship's conclusion is reiterated.
Yeah it's all over
Confirmation that it’s completely ended.
You never love me when you're sober
Reiteration that love wasn't expressed in sobriety.
Never started
The relationship never truly began.
Never told me where your heart was
There was no transparency about feelings.
Made me feel like all of this was just a game
The relationship felt like a game.
It's so hard knowing
Expressing the difficulty in understanding the situation.
But life just keeps on going
Life continues despite the confusion.
When you're in my head my heart feels out of place
Feeling misplaced and uncomfortable when thinking about the person.
So I'll stay sober cause when the morning comes it's over
A commitment to staying sober to avoid repeating the cycle.
I just can't go back cause I know how this will end
Avoiding a return due to knowing the inevitable outcome.
4 AM won't pick up the phone
A repetition of a 4 AM attempt to reach out.
Morning comes know you're not alone
Realization that the person is not alone in the morning.
And now it's over
Confirmation of the relationship's end.
It's all over
Reiterating that it's all concluded.
You never love me when you're sober
Emphasizing the lack of love when sober.
You never love me when you're sober
Repeated emphasis on love not being expressed when sober.
And now it's over
Confirmation of the relationship's end.
Yeah it's all over
Reiteration that it’s completely concluded.
You never love me when you're sober
Reiterating the absence of love when sober.
You never love me when you're sober
Repeated emphasis on the lack of love when sober.
Yeah it's all over
Confirmation that it’s completely ended.
You never love me when you're sober
Reiterated absence of love when sober.
You never love me when you're sober
