Standards
Lost in Unmet Standards: A Poignant Reflection on Love
Lyrics
Moments pass as the time kicks on and on
Moments pass as time continues relentlessly
Picture's of you still hanging on my wall
Pictures of you remain prominently displayed on my wall
Years feel like minutes, when I'm by your side
Years seem fleeting when I'm with you
Now that you're gone I've lost track of time
Now that you're no longer present, I've lost track of time
I tried my best to give you everything
I exerted my utmost effort to provide everything for you
But it was never up to Standard
Despite my efforts, it never met the expected standard for you
For you
This subpar standard is in reference to you
Did I fail you, are you disappointed
Reflecting on whether I failed you and caused disappointment
Thoughts run through my head, I just can't ignore them
Various thoughts about this situation occupy my mind
Some say, love flows like an ocean in your heart
Contrasting the common belief that love is abundant, suggesting a different, negative perspective
But I say, your love was just a poison, tearing me apart
Describing your love as harmful, causing emotional pain
I tried my best to give you everything
Reiterating the effort to provide everything for you
But it was never up to Standard
Emphasizing that the effort fell short of the expected standard
I tried my best to not be bothered when
Attempting to remain unaffected when you mentioned being busy
You said you're busy this evening
Accepting the situation with resignation
Oh well
An indifferent acknowledgment of the circumstances
And I'll be there for you
Promising to be there whenever you need support
Whenever you call
Expressing readiness to answer your call
Just dial my number
Encouraging you to contact me, emphasizing proximity
You know I'm only one step away
Highlighting the closeness, just one step away from being there
From being at your front door
A willingness to be at your front door promptly
Just call my name
An invitation to call my name when needed
I tried my best to give you everything
Reiterating the effort to provide everything, acknowledging the falling short
But it was never up to Standard
Affirming that the efforts never met the expected standard
