Leftovers
Unwrapping Regret: Love's Leftovers in James Figurine's Melody
Lyrics
Just before you left
Expressing awareness of an impending departure.
I knew somehting was coming
Sensing a foreboding event before the departure.
I looked under the bed and
Checking under the bed, possibly symbolic of searching for hidden issues or secrets.
Wondered what I'd do
Contemplating future actions in response to the departure.
With all the gifts I bought for you
Reflecting on ungiven gifts intended for the departing person.
A bracelet charm, the postcard read
Specifically mentioning a bracelet charm and a postcard with sentimental value.
A post card that reminded me of something you said
The postcard triggers memories tied to something the person said in the past.
When we where happier
Recalling a happier time in the relationship.
(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
Pleading for insight into the reasons for the departure.
Now that you've come home
Addressing the person's return and the lingering reminders of mistakes made.
All these things serve as reminders
Listing various gifts, including a picture frame, make-up case, and a significant record.
Everything that I've done wrong
-And I wonder what I should do?
-With all the gifts I bought for you
-A picture frame
-A make-up case
-And a record that I'd put on when you'd stay at my place
-When we were happier
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
Repetition of the plea for understanding the specific reasons for the departure, emphasizing the importance of knowing which actions could have influenced the decision.
(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
-(Tell me which one of things could have made you stay?)
Reiteration of the persistent request for clarity on the factors that could have prevented the departure.
