Lyrics
We thought
We had the belief
We would be together
We expected to be in a lasting relationship
Strong enough to weather the storm
We believed our love could withstand difficulties
We thought
We assumed
That Love Would Keep together
Love was the glue holding us together
The shelter built to keep us from harm
Our relationship was a protective haven
We was like night and day
We were complementary but different
2 peas in a pod at the same dam time
We were very close, inseparable
And we would try to force our way
We tried to overcome challenges forcefully
Hoping that the pain hurt less
Hoping the pain would be less if we took our time
If we take our time
We thought a slow approach would lessen the pain
Take our time
Reiteration of taking time
I wasn’t prepared when the rain came
I wasn't ready for the emotional turmoil
You and the tropical storm
Comparison between the partner and a tropical storm
Had the same name
Partner's impact similar to a storm
I wasn’t prepared for life’s tsunami
Unexpected challenges in life
You didn’t prepared for a life without me
Partner unprepared for life without the speaker
You wasn’t prepared for it
Reiteration of partner's lack of preparation
But
Transition to acknowledging impermanence
Some good things don’t last forever
Recognizing that some good things are temporary
Some good things come to an end
Acknowledging the end of some good things
Some good things are not forever
Some positive aspects aren't everlasting
Some good things don’t last
Reiteration of the transient nature of good things
I thought I’d be the one that calms your fears
Expectation of providing comfort and security
I thought I’d be the one to protect you
Expectation of being a protector
From the boogeyman
Fear of the unknown represented by the boogeyman
But irony would have it
Irony in becoming the feared entity
Where as I became the boogeyman
Transformation into a negative force
I wish I was the one that could change it all
Desire to change the situation
I promised to catch you when you fall
Promised support in times of trouble
I asked you to walk before you crawled
Encouraged independence, but ironic outcome
But I was the one that made you fall
Realization of causing the partner's downfall
I wish I could change it all
Expressing regret and a desire for change
But
Reiteration of inability to change the past
Some good things are not forever
Some positive things have negative outcomes
Some good things don’t end in wins
Not all positive things result in victory
Some good things don’t last forever
Acknowledging impermanence of good things
Some good things don’t last
Reiteration of the transient nature of good things
We were like night and day
Repetition of the closeness but with a hint of separation
We was two peas in a pod
Emphasizing the unity despite differences
At the same dam time
Reiteration of being inseparable
And we’d try to force our way
Repetition of attempting to overcome challenges
We thought it’d be easier
Anticipation of an easier journey
But
Reiteration of impermanence in a positive light
Some good things don’t end in wins
Acknowledging that not all positive experiences result in success
