how could you say that
Storm of Departure: Unveiling Heartbreak in Lauren Ong's Melody
Lyrics
It rained so hard the trees tumbled to the ground

But they couldn't have been louder than the ringing of your voice in my ears
The emotional impact of someone's loud and hurtful words.
Fallen branches broke the roofs of convertibles

And my fist tore through the mirror, an act of spite for you
Expresses a physical reaction, punching a mirror out of spite.

A question expressing disbelief or hurt about something said.
You love me so you leave me
An accusation that love is expressed through leaving.
This whole act stopped being funny about twenty scenes ago

How do you conclude that you'll give up once we disagree
Questioning the decision to give up after disagreements.
Guess there's no more sense in sorry

Cause you don't say it when you go
Noticing the absence of apologies when leaving.
Thunderstorms ravaged the whole island

The role of lightning went to you

While I stood under redwood leaves

Slamming the door on your way in,

I'm standing out in the storm

Is this where it begins?
