Lyrics
Putting the time in
Putting effort and time into something.
Building up from the beginning
Constructing or developing from the start.
No guarantee you win
No assurance of success.
Might all slip away
The possibility of losing everything.
On a dime then
Swiftly, unexpectedly.
You're losing all it's been
Experiencing a loss of what has been built.
I ain't some pretender
Asserting authenticity, not pretending.
All I said is are you gonna stay?
Asking if the other person will remain committed.
Then suddenly
A sudden event or change.
It was the end of April
The specific time mentioned, possibly significant.
It's as if time could fly
Time passing quickly, as if unnoticed.
Wasn't up to me
Outcome not under personal control.
It was the end of April
Reiteration of the end of April as a crucial time.
All she said was goodbye
A farewell from someone significant.
I tried
An attempt was made to salvage the situation.
No ties
No emotional or other connections.
Goodbye goodbye
Repetition of the farewell, emphasizing finality.
I was hoping it works out
Expressing hope despite doubts.
Even though we both had our doubts
Acknowledging uncertainties in the relationship.
Still wondering what it's about
Still pondering the meaning of the situation.
No I never could read minds
Inability to understand the thoughts of others.
Watching this flame-out
Observing a failure or collapse.
No reason to rave and shout
No justification for extreme reactions.
Circling roundabout
Moving in circles without progress.
Must've been blind not to see the signs
Failure to perceive obvious signs or warnings.
