The Little World We Made
Reflections of Love Lost: The Little World We Left Behind
Lyrics
Are you on your way back home
Asking if the person is returning home.
To the place you live without me
Questioning if the home is now without the singer.
Are you comfortable alone
Inquiring about the person's comfort in solitude.
Do you ask my friends about me
Wondering if the person talks to mutual friends about the singer.
Do you lie when you're asked how I am
Questioning if the person is truthful about the singer's well-being.
Are you seeing people that I've never met
Asking if the person is meeting new people unknown to the singer.
I know it was the right thing at that time for me to let go
Reflecting on the decision to let go and move on.
I needed to find myself so I climbed out the window of the little world we made
Expressing the necessity to find oneself by leaving the shared world.
What if that was a mistake
Raising doubts about the correctness of that decision.
I sent back your things last week
Informing about returning personal belongings but keeping a significant record.
But I kept the record that you bought me
Revealing the persistent presence of a memorable gift.
It's stuck in my head constantly
Expressing the constant impact of the gifted record on the singer's thoughts.
And I'm hoping that you've not forgot me
Hoping to remain in the person's memory.
Do you lie when you're asked where I am
Asking if the person lies about the singer's whereabouts.
Are you going places that we never went
Questioning if the person explores new places not visited together.
I know it was the right thing at that time for me to let go
Reiterating the belief that letting go was the right decision at the time.
I needed to find myself so I climbed out the window of the little world we made
Highlighting the need for self-discovery by leaving the shared world.
What if that was a mistake
Expressing uncertainty about the correctness of the decision.
I've said a prayer and lit a flame
Mentioning spiritual practices to cope with the separation.
And smoked your spirit out with sage
Attempting to cleanse the memories associated with the person.
I've conjured up our memory
Recalling shared memories through a conjured ritual.
And listened as it said its peace
Listening to the memories and allowing them to speak their truth.
But you still haunt me like a ghost
Describing the lingering presence of the person like a haunting ghost.
Who died inside of these four walls
Comparing the person's impact to a ghost that resides within the singer's living space.
That might be what hurts me the most
Reflecting on the emotional pain caused by the haunting memories.
I've tried but I can't let you go
Expressing difficulty in moving on despite efforts.
I know it was the right thing at that time for me to let go
Reiterating the belief that letting go was the right decision at the time.
I needed to find myself so I climbed out the window of the little world we made
Emphasizing the need for self-discovery through separation.
You came home and everything had changed
Noting a significant change upon the person's return.
What if that was a mistake
Raising further doubts about the correctness of the initial decision.
Are you on your way back home
Repeating the initial question about the person's return home.
