Lyrics
When you left
Expressing the departure of someone
I had to make this place my own
Taking ownership of the space after the departure
To get on with my life
Moving forward with life after the separation
Brought down all these boxes from the attic
Bringing down items from storage symbolizing memories
to pack everything here
Packing belongings related to the departed person
that had anything to do with you
Organizing items linked to the person who left
Now that weÂ're through
Acknowledging the end of the relationship
I want to feel it too
Desire to experience the emotional aftermath
Though that it seems I haven't earned
Feeling undeserving of the emotional impact
So I might aswell try to learn right away that
Recognizing the need to learn from the experience
This is always
Reflection on enduring emotional pain
Ever hear my sigh
Expression of sighs as a manifestation of pain
This is always
Reiteration of the enduring nature of emotional pain
No matter how you bleed it,
Emphasizing the resilience of emotional wounds
it refuses to die
Insistence that emotional pain persists
But as I got to it
Being captivated as attention turns to the past
I was mesmerized
Fascination with the intricate details of memories
by every little detail
Attention drawn to small aspects of the past
about every little thing
Reflecting on memories of the past relationship
reminding me of what
Recollection of what the relationship used to be
in my head we once were
Memory of the idealized past in the mind
you and I
Recognition of a shared refuge in the past
A refuge in this world of
Describing the world as filled with insincerity
plastic smiles and
Pointing out fake smiles and excessive desire for affirmation
avaricious thurst for reassurance
Recalling the resilience shown until a mistake occurred
where we stood our ground
Standing firm until a significant error was made
until you fucked up
Acknowledging a mistake in the past
And you fucked up bad
Highlighting the severity of the past error
So why do I still feel that
Questioning the lingering emotional impact
This is always
Reiteration of the enduring nature of emotional pain
Ever hear my sigh
Expression of sighs as a manifestation of pain
This is always
Reiteration of the enduring nature of emotional pain
No matter how you bleed it,
Insistence that emotional pain persists
it refuses to die
(Empty line, no specific meaning)
And time takes care of nothing
Reflection on the ineffectiveness of time in healing
This is always
Reiteration of the enduring nature of emotional pain
Ever hear me cry
Expression of cries as a manifestation of pain
This is always
Reiteration of the enduring nature of emotional pain
No matter how you bleed it,
Insistence that emotional pain persists
it refuses to die
(Empty line, no specific meaning)
And time takes care of nothing
Reflection on the ineffectiveness of time in healing
