Painfully Missing
Painfully Missing: Reflections on Lost Connections
Lyrics
Can Tender hearts learn
Questioning whether sensitive individuals can learn to love less intensely.
To love much less deeply
Expressing the idea that deep love might not be attainable for tender-hearted people.
It's but an urge
Love is portrayed as an instinctive desire.
That's urgent and matters
Emphasizing the urgency and significance of love, easily broken or damaged.
So easily shattered
Highlighting the fragility of love and its susceptibility to damage.
So easy to blame
Referring to the tendency to blame others when love is lost.
It's all to burn
Metaphorically mentioning the inevitability of destruction.
Are singing the sinners
People who have sinned or made mistakes are singing.
We're stepped on by winners
Feeling overlooked or dominated by those who succeed.
Never able to learn
Despite experiences, some individuals are unable to learn from them.
And thought of somebody
Intensely missing someone.
Painfully missing
The feeling of painfully missing someone deeply.
Flows through my body
Describing the emotional sensation physically.
Churning and twisting
Depicting the emotional turmoil, inner conflict, and turning thoughts.
And thought of somebody
Reiteration of the intense longing for someone.
Faults lead us to learn
Suggesting that flaws and mistakes lead to learning.
Some they won't let you
Some people refuse to allow others to grow or learn from their mistakes.
Some are just out to get you
There are individuals who are maliciously inclined.
Again and again
Repeated cycles of undeserved hardship or pain.
Is it what we deserve
Questioning whether the pain experienced is deserved.
For never just seeing
Reflecting on the failure to recognize one's true nature.
What we turned out being
Not acknowledging what one has become.
What we turned away from
Avoiding or turning away from a particular aspect of oneself.
And thought of somebody
Continued longing for someone.
Painfully missing
Intense emotional pain from missing someone.
Flows through my body
Describing the physical and emotional experience of longing.
Churning and twisting
The internal struggle and emotional pain.
And thought of somebody
Reiteration of intense longing for someone specific.
Oh somebody
Repeating the question about someone's absence.
Why must we waste time
Questioning the waste of time in waiting for someone.
Why must wait
Questioning the necessity of waiting.
Dwelling on the telling signs
Focusing on recognizing signs but not taking action.
We blamed our lives away
Regretting blaming and wasting life.
Why must we waste time
Questioning the value of wasting time.
Why must wait
Reiterating the question about waiting.
Dwelling on the telling signs
Continued focus on recognizing but not acting on signs.
We blamed our lives away
Regret for blaming and squandering life.
And thought of somebody
Repetition of the intense longing for someone.
Painfully missing
Intense emotional pain from missing someone.
Flows through my body
Describing the physical and emotional experience of longing.
Churning and twisting
The internal struggle and emotional pain.
And thought of somebody
Reiteration of intense longing for someone specific.
Oh somebody
Repeated questioning and longing for someone.
Oh somebody
Further emphasis on missing someone.
Oh somebody
Continued emphasis on missing someone deeply.
