Haven't Missed You All My Life
A Tapestry of Memories: Haven't Missed You All My Life
Lyrics
It's alright, you tried
Expressing acceptance and understanding that an effort was made.
Let's just pretend the cameras lied
Suggesting a desire to ignore or dismiss a perceived false portrayal.
And you were always there
Imagining a scenario where the person was consistently present.
And I was never scared
Claiming not to have felt fear during the imagined constant presence.
And I haven't missed you all my life
Stating a lack of longing or absence of someone throughout one's life.
Pulled up bedsheets above my head
Recalling a moment of covering oneself with bedsheets, possibly seeking comfort or security.
It made me believe that you were always there
Associating the act of covering with a belief in the constant presence of the person.
And I was never scared
Reiterating the absence of fear during the perceived constant presence.
And I haven't missed you all my life
Repeating the assertion of not missing the person throughout one's life.
We can't rewrite the past tonight
Acknowledging the impossibility of changing the past.
So we'll retouch the photographs, dear
Proposing a symbolic action of altering memories through retouching photographs.
Like you were always in the sight
Imagining a scenario where the person was consistently present in memories.
And we may find the perfect lines
Suggesting the search for ideal expressions to conceal small deceptions.
To hide our little white lies, dear
Emphasizing the need to hide minor falsehoods within the narrative.
And put you in where
Referring to placing the person in memories where they should have always been.
You should have been all my life
Expressing a sentiment that the person should have been present throughout one's life.
It's alright, you tried
Reiterating understanding and acceptance of the effort made.
It's alright
Conveying reassurance or consolation regarding the situation.
Let's just pretend the cameras lied
Repeating the suggestion to disregard a potentially false representation.
And you were always there
Recalling the idea of constant presence and absence of fear.
And I was never scared
Restating the claim of not missing the person throughout one's life.
And I haven't missed you all my life
Reiterating the absence of longing for the person.
