You and I Alone
Nostalgic Reflections: You and I, Alone
Lyrics
Autumn night, I'm back in town
Reflecting on an autumn night, returning to the town.
Driving slowly by your old house but
Driving slowly near your old house.
You don't live here anymore
Realization that you no longer reside there.
I remember when we got drunk
Recollection of a past memory of being intoxicated.
Drinking wine on your couch but
Drinking wine together on a couch.
We're not drinking anymore
Acknowledgment that they are no longer drinking together.
I'm staring at the picture that I've kept
Contemplating a kept picture after the breakup.
Inside my pocket when you left me
Carrying a memento of the past when the partner departed.
All I see is all that used to be
Feeling nostalgic about the past relationship.
And all we had, not separated
Remembering the shared experiences and not being apart.
Not separated
Emphasizing the unity they once shared.
When it was us, two kids in love
Recalling the time when they were young and in love.
And now it's just you and I, alone
Recognizing the current state of being alone without the partner.
You and I, alone
Reiterating the loneliness experienced by the singer without the partner.
I bought you a ring, you don't even know
Mentioning buying a ring for the partner who is unaware due to leaving earlier.
Because you left me way before
Highlighting the partner's departure before expressing feelings.
I could say those simple words
Regret for not having the chance to convey emotions.
Now I know you don't feel the same
Understanding that the partner's feelings have changed.
Even though you still pretend you do
Realizing the partner's pretense about their feelings.
I guess good for you
Indifference toward the partner's current situation.
I'm staring at the picture that I've kept
Continued contemplation of the kept picture post-breakup.
Inside my pocket when you left me
Retaining memories through a physical keepsake after the separation.
All I see is all that used to be
Nostalgia for what used to be, shown through the preserved picture.
And all we had, not separated
Recalling the unity they once had, not being apart.
Not separated
Reiterating the sense of unity they used to share.
When it was us, two kids in love
Reflecting on the time of being young and in love.
And now it's just you and I, alone
Recognizing the current state of being alone without the partner.
You and I, alone
Emphasizing the loneliness experienced by the singer without the partner.
I admit sometimes I still miss you
Admitting occasional feelings of missing the partner.
But I feel better without you
Expressing improved emotional state without the partner despite occasional yearning.
Because you'll never change, it's true
Accepting the partner's unchanging nature as a truth.
