Lonely Afternoon
Apologies Echo in Lonely Afternoon Melody
Lyrics
Thinking that it's time that we move along
Contemplating the need to move on
Because I thought that you were the one
Expressing initial belief in a significant relationship
Hopefully I'll see you
Hopeful about encountering the person again
I'll see you in the next one
Acknowledging a future meeting with the person
There you go broke up and all alone
Observing the person going through a breakup and feeling alone
Leave me behind all on my own
Feeling abandoned and left alone
But girl just know I'm sorry
Apologizing and expressing remorse
I'm sorry that I rushed things
Regretting rushing things in the relationship
Like oh-oh-oh on this lonely afternoon
Reflecting on loneliness during the afternoon
Like oh-oh-oh on this lonely afternoon
Repeating the theme of loneliness in the afternoon
Babe
Addressing the person affectionately
My babe
Repeating affectionate address
I'm really gonna miss you
Expressing genuine sadness about the impending separation
I wish you woulda stayed
Expressing a desire for the person to have stayed
I know
Affirming knowledge of the situation
I just know
Reiterating awareness of the circumstances
There was a chance
Acknowledging a missed opportunity
My chance
Referring to a personal missed chance
But you've gone and broke it off
Stating the breakup has occurred
It's gone
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the situation
All gone
Expressing loss and emptiness
But I still have your necklace
Highlighting a sentimental possession (necklace)
The chain I never gave you
Referring to an ungiven gift (chain)
Like oh-oh-oh on this lonely afternoon
Repeating the theme of loneliness in the afternoon
Like oh-oh-oh on this
Continuing the expression of loneliness
(Oh I'm truly sorry too)
Inserting an apology and expressing regret
(There's just so much I didn't tell you)
Acknowledging withheld information and communication
(Don't you remember our first date)
Recalling the first date together
(I wish it lasted forever but you don't feel the same)
Expressing a wish for eternal love, unreciprocated
(Stay)
Issuing a plea for the person to stay
