So Down
Love Lost: Unraveling Heartbreak in John Winters' 'So Down'
Lyrics
I always thought that this was easy love
I always thought that love was easy.
‘Till you decided you had had enough
Until you decided to end the relationship.
Now I’ve been feeling like I’m needing help
Feeling a need for assistance or support.
Been bending backwards just to find myself
Putting in extra effort to discover who I am.
Pushing me closer to another bottle
Drinking more, possibly as a coping mechanism.
When I’m supposed to be closer to love
Straying from the path of love due to difficulties.
When all of the bad things outweigh all the good things
When negative aspects outweigh the positive ones.
Then there’s nothing left to help us, ‘cos
When there's nothing left to salvage the relationship.
I’m aware my heart needs breaking
Recognizing that my heart is on the verge of breaking.
I just never thought that you were faking everything up until now and you’ve got me so down
Realizing the other person was pretending all along, causing deep sadness.
And all it took was a stolen moment
The emotional impact came from a brief, significant moment.
I wish that I could just let go and figure it all out, somehow now
Expressing a desire to let go and understand everything.
You’ve got me so down
The situation has left me in a state of deep despair.
(Thought this was easy love, never thought you’d leave me love. Thought this was easy love, never thought you’d leave me love)
Reiterating the belief that love should be easy and unexpected abandonment.
And deep inside I knew you needed more than
Acknowledging the partner's need for more than what I could provide.
What I could offer you, I tried before
Attempts were made to fulfill the partner's needs, but it wasn't enough.
To find a way to make it easier
Struggling to find a solution to make the relationship easier.
But I couldn’t stop you walking out the door
Unable to prevent the partner from leaving.
With all my regrets and mistakes and the troubles I made
Reflecting on regrets, mistakes, and the problems that contributed to the breakup.
That I guess were too much, now there’s no easy way and
Realizing there is no simple resolution to the situation.
And now I know that, maybe I should find a way to let you go and
Contemplating the idea of letting go of the past.
I’m aware my heart needs breaking
Being aware that my heart is vulnerable and may break.
I just never thought that you were faking everything up until now and you’ve got me so down
Discovering the other person's deception leading to deep sadness.
And all it took was a stolen moment
Emphasizing the impact of a fleeting but crucial moment.
I wish that I could just let go and figure it all out, somehow now
Expressing a wish to let go and understand everything.
You’ve got me so down
Continuing to express the emotional low caused by the situation.
I wish that I could just let go and figure it all out, somehow now
Repeating the desire to let go and find clarity.
You’ve got me so down.
The persistent feeling of deep despair caused by the circumstances.
