When You Were Around
Lost Moments: Nostalgia and Heartache in 'When You Were Around'
Lyrics
I miss those times,
I long for those moments
I miss those days
I miss those past times
When you were around,
Reflecting on the period when you were present
In so many ways
In various aspects or ways
And it felt so safe,
Those times were comforting and secure
And I was glad.
I was content and happy
But now something's changed,
However, something has changed
That makes me sad
Resulting in sadness
And I, was waiting patiently,
I waited with patience
But you never came
Yet, you never appeared
I realize it now, won't ever be the same... again
Realization that things will never return to how they were
Won't ever be the same... again
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the change
If you're doing fine,
Uncertainty about your current well-being
I don't know
It's unknown to me
You see, I gave up calling
Abandoning attempts to contact you
Long time ago
A long time has passed since I last tried
Haven't heard from you,
No communication received from you
I guess that means
Implies my diminished value to you
That I'm no good no more,
Suggesting a perceived lack of worth
That's what it seems
That's the impression I have
And I, was waiting patiently,
I maintained my patience in anticipation
But you never came
Yet, you never showed up
I realize it now, won't ever be the same... again
Understanding the permanent alteration
Won't ever be the same... again
Reiterating the lasting impact of the change
You see, I gave up waiting - for you to care
Abandoning hope for your concern or attention
You're not there,
You are absent
And I wonder if you... ever were
Raising doubts about your past feelings or care
And I, was waiting patiently,
Continuing to wait patiently
But you never came
Yet, your presence remains elusive
I realize it now, won't ever be the same... again
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of the change
Won't ever be the same... again
Reaffirming that things won't return to how they were
