To Call Our Own
Love Lost: Navigating Heartbreak and Rediscovering Self in 'To Call Our Own'
Lyrics
Once upon a time I had a love
Reflecting on a past time when the singer had a love.
I knew that I could call my own
The singer believed that the love was something they could possess.
But she disappeared and now I know
The love disappeared, leading to the realization that they must face life alone.
I'll have to make it all alone
Acknowledging the need to navigate life independently.
Cause differences and quarrels and
Referring to conflicts and disputes that are inevitable in new relationships.
Those things that all new lovers must go through
Recognizing the challenges that every new couple must overcome.
Tore us both apart until we knew
Conflict led to a separation until it became clear that starting anew was impossible.
That we could never start anew
Realization that a fresh beginning together is unattainable.
And once again we lose the friend
Expressing the recurring theme of losing a friend through relationship challenges.
That we'd thought to call our own
Emphasizing the loss of the shared connection that was once considered one's own.
Masks and the pretending as we
Reference to masks and pretense in the pursuit of rekindling a lost love.
Tried to find the love we know was gone
Struggling to revive a love that is recognized as vanished.
Made it all the harder when we knew
The difficulty intensifies as the awareness grows that the relationship is unsustainable.
This love affair could not go on
Coming to terms with the inevitable end of a love affair.
Breaking up is harder when you think
Highlighting the emotional challenge of breaking up when one believes their partner cares deeply.
Your lover really cares for you
The belief that breaking up is tougher when you genuinely feel your lover cares for you.
Because you think you should had tried
Suggesting a feeling of regret for not trying harder to salvage the relationship.
A little harder just to make it through
The realization that more effort might have made a difference in overcoming challenges.
And then you find peace of mind
Finding peace of mind is elusive after a breakup.
Is not as easy as it seems
Understanding that achieving peace of mind is more challenging than it appears.
And once again we lose the friend
Reiterating the recurring theme of losing a friend in the process of losing a love.
That we'd thought to call our own
Expressing the disappointment of losing what was once considered a shared possession.
