Other People's Hearts
Unbroken Heartache: Reflecting on Lost Love Through Melodic Strings
Lyrics
I'm staying home this evening
I choose to stay home tonight.
And playing my guitar
I'll spend my time playing the guitar.
And all the time I'm strumming
While strumming, thoughts of your whereabouts occupy my mind.
I'm wondering where you are
I wonder where you are during this time.
Oh yes I know it's over
Acknowledgment that the relationship is over.
I know I shouldn't care
Despite knowing it's over, there's lingering care.
But I can't get away from you
Unable to escape thoughts of you; you seem ever-present.
It seems you're always there
Constantly reminded of your existence.
How come I don't see you anymore?
Expressing the absence of seeing you.
How come we lost the magic touch?
Reflecting on the loss of a once magical connection.
Why can't I pick up the telephone
Questioning the difficulty in calling you.
When I want to call you so much?
Expressing the desire to call you frequently.
Who's going to make me forget you
Searching for someone to help forget you.
And get you off my mind?
Struggling to remove thoughts of you from the mind.
I could be out breaking other people's hearts
Contemplating the possibility of breaking others' hearts to cope.
If you weren't still breaking mine
Your continued impact on the speaker's emotions.
The winter's drawing in again
Winter symbolizes a cold period; another year has gone by.
Another year has passed
Reflecting on unspoken words due to time flying.
Now I think of things I meant to say
Regret over unsaid things.
But the time went by so fast
Time passing quickly, leading to reflection.
I hear you're living in new york these days
Learning about your relocation to New York.
And you don't come here any more
Not visiting the speaker anymore.
I keep asking myself so many questions
Multiple unanswered questions about the situation.
But lately I wonder what I'm wondering for
Recent contemplation about the purpose of questioning.
Who's going to make me forget you
Seeking someone to help erase memories of you.
And get you off my mind?
Struggling to remove thoughts of you from the mind.
I could be out breaking other people's hearts
Considering breaking others' hearts to cope.
If you weren't still breaking mine
Your continued impact on the speaker's emotions.
I let you pass me by
Allowing you to pass without much effort.
I never tried too hard
Not putting in significant effort despite emotional impact.
Though you'll never see me cry
Internalizing emotional pain without visible tears.
You really made your mark
Acknowledging the lasting impression you made.
How come I don't see you anymore?
Expressing the absence of seeing you.
How come we lost the magic touch?
Reflecting on the loss of a once magical connection.
And why can't I pick up the telephone
Questioning the difficulty in calling you.
When I want to hear your voice so much?
Desire to hear your voice despite challenges.
Who's going to make me forget you
Searching for someone to help forget you.
And get you off my mind?
Struggling to remove thoughts of you from the mind.
I could be out breaking other people's hearts
Contemplating the possibility of breaking others' hearts to cope.
If you weren't
Continued impact on the speaker's emotions.
If you weren't still breaking mine
Your ongoing influence, still affecting the speaker.
