Four Years Gone
Four Years Strong, Four Years Gone: Unraveling Time's Betrayal
Lyrics
We were four years strong, but I was in the wrong
We had a strong relationship for four years, but I made a mistake.
Thinking you would come around for me
I believed you would eventually reciprocate my feelings.
Time kept moving on, everyday dusk til' dawn
Time continued to pass, from dawn to dusk every day.
Still I waited for you to come home
Despite time passing, I still waited for your return.
And everyday, it all stayed the same
Every day felt the same, with a girl who spoke and a boy who was broken.
A spoken girl and a broken boy
Our relationship was marked by brokenness.
Falling picture frames, chasing memories
There were conflicts represented by falling picture frames, and we were trying to hold on to memories.
Forgotten times shared between two
Memories of shared times were forgotten between us.
If you listen closely, you can hear the past
Reflection on the past can be heard if one listens closely.
And if you feel so lonely, you can take it all back
Feeling lonely allows one to reconsider and reclaim the past.
Don't you see what we have done, burnt the houses, hit and run
Realization of the destructive actions taken in the relationship, including burning bridges and escaping without facing consequences.
We were four years strong, and now we're four years gone
We had a strong relationship for four years, but now it has ended.
Taste my dialect, a mouth of disrespect
Expressing disrespectful language and regret for unspoken words.
And some words I never said to you
The regret intensifies as the speaker acknowledges words left unspoken to the partner.
Tripping on my tongue, when everything's undone
Struggling to articulate thoughts as everything falls apart.
The rain fell and you left me out to dry
Feeling abandoned and left to suffer when the partner departed during a difficult time.
You say he's just a friend; well I'm here in the end
The partner claims innocence by saying the other person is just a friend, while the speaker remains committed.
Picking up what someone else had left
Picking up the pieces of a broken relationship left behind by someone else.
An internal war, while passed out on the floor
An internal emotional conflict while being in a vulnerable state on the floor.
And nothings changed in four years more
Despite the passage of four more years, nothing has changed in the speaker's emotional state.
