Fragments of Love Lost: LONG ISLAND's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Broken pieces of us
Feeling fragmented or damaged remnants of a relationship or connection.
Goodbye to the memories I loved
Farewell to cherished recollections and experiences.
You probably thought that I wasn't enough
Suggesting that the other person perceived the speaker as insufficient.
Broken, but I can't give you up
Despite being broken, the speaker cannot let go of the other person.
Goodbye I tried
An acknowledgment of attempting to bid adieu.
Since you turned out our light
Since the partner ended their relationship.
A side eye, or a high five
A metaphorical reference to either a dismissive glance or an informal celebratory gesture.
Since you cut my lifeline
Metaphorically, the partner severed the speaker's vital connection or support.
You left me stood there
The feeling of abandonment by the partner.
Calling your name
Desiring the attention or presence of the departed person.
You changed my life
The partner had a transformative effect on the speaker's life.
But it always ends the same
Despite changes, the relationship consistently concludes in a similar fashion.
Broken inside
Emotionally injured or shattered internally.
I guess this is goodbye
An acceptance or acknowledgment of parting ways.
Held on to the picture of us
Clung onto a visual representation of the relationship.
Empty doesn't quite sum it up
Emptiness is inadequate to describe the situation.
Thought you'd understand, but you're cold to the touch
Expectation of empathy or understanding but encountering emotional detachment from the partner.
I should know by now there's no comfort in love
Realization that love does not offer solace or consolation.
Goodbye I tried
Similar to line 6, an attempt at bidding farewell.
Since you turned out our light
Reiteration of the partner ending the relationship.
A side eye, or a high five
Repetition of the metaphor denoting dismissal or celebration.
Since you cut my lifeline
A recurrence of the partner cutting off vital support or connection.
You left me stood there
Left abandoned by the departed person.
Calling your name
Continued desire for the presence or acknowledgment from the absent partner.
You changed my life
Recognition of the partner's significant impact on the speaker's life.
But it always ends the same
Despite changes brought by the partner, relationships still conclude similarly.
Broken inside
Internally damaged or hurt.
I guess this is goodbye
Acceptance or acknowledgment of the finality of the separation.
Goodbye I tried
Similar to earlier attempts, reiterating the attempt to say goodbye.
Since you turned out our light
Reaffirming the end of the relationship by the partner.
A side eye, or a high five
Repetition of dismissive or celebratory gestures metaphor.
Since you cut my lifeline
Repetition of the partner severing the speaker's support or connection.
You left me stood there
Feeling abandoned and calling out to the departed person.
Calling your name
Recognition of the partner's transformative impact.
You changed my life
Despite changes brought by the partner, relationships still conclude similarly.
But it always ends the same
Continued reference to internal emotional distress.
Broken inside
Internal emotional distress signifying an end.
I guess this is goodbye
A final acceptance or acknowledgment of the separation.
