Tried To Let Go
Unveiling Heartache: Kelly Pardekooper's Poignant Reflection on Love's Struggles
Lyrics
She walked into a crowded bar
Encountering a woman in a busy setting, possibly a bar
A California breeze
Feeling a sense of calm or familiarity reminiscent of California
Brown eyes and Blue Moon beers
Describing physical attributes of the woman: brown eyes and association with Blue Moon beers, creating a vivid image
I could barely breathe
Feeling overwhelmed or awestruck in her presence
Once I heard her laughing
Realizing a change in one's emotions upon hearing her laugh
I was never the same
Experiencing a profound impact on one's life after encountering her
Pretty sure I loved that girl
Strong inclination towards affection for her
Before I knew her name
Feeling a connection or attachment before knowing her name
I’ve tried to let go
Repeated attempts to release oneself from emotional pain
I’ve tried to let go
-I’ve tried to let go
-Of that pain
-I’ve tried to let go
Continued efforts to let go of feelings of shame
I’ve tried to let go
-I’ve tried to let go
-Of that shame
-She never saw it coming
Her lack of anticipation or awareness of the situation
She never took the call
Ignoring or not responding to attempts at communication
Blinded by my own desire
Being blinded or consumed by one's own desires, potentially causing oversight of her feelings
She had none at all
Her lack of reciprocal interest or desire in the situation
She wasn’t mine to fall for
Realization that she wasn't meant to be the object of affection or love
She wasn’t mine to keep
Understanding that she wasn't someone to possess or have a claim over
Years will turn to decades soon
Expectation of continued emotional pain for an extended period, possibly lifelong
I’ll still weep
-I’ve tried to let go
Continued attempts to let go of feelings of shame
I’ve tried to let go
-I’ve tried to let go
-Of that shame
-I’ve tried to let go
Reiterated efforts to release oneself from persistent emotional pain
I’ve tried to let go
-I’ve tried to let go
-Of that pain
