Ten Years Apart
A Decade of Longing: Lorena Aurora's Poignant Reflections on Love and Loss
Lyrics
I've been here waiting on you like forever
I have been patiently waiting for your return for a long time.
I know that you said that you would be back
Acknowledging that you promised to come back.
It's been many years and you're not even near
Many years have passed, and you are still distant, making me feel sad.
Guess that was me, this shit's getting me sad
Realizing that it might be my fault, causing emotional distress.
Said we'd be back in ten years
You mentioned a ten-year reunion, but it has only been five.
Baby come back, Babe I'm out of my mind
Expressing emotional turmoil and longing for the person to come back.
It's only been five
Contrasting the promised ten years with the actual five years that have passed.
Wonder how you living life
Curious about the other person's current life and circumstances.
Baby I'm out of my mind
Reiterating the emotional struggle and confusion.
(Yeah)
Interjection expressing agreement or affirmation.
Back then I knew
Reflecting on the past and anticipating better things for the other person.
There was gon' be better for you
Acknowledging the expectation of a brighter future for the person.
Gotta admit I turned out kinda bruised
Admitting personal challenges and emotional wounds.
The state of my mind would've dragged you down too
Acknowledging that personal struggles might have negatively impacted the other person.
Gave you an out to my upcoming blues
Offering an opportunity for the other person to avoid upcoming difficulties.
I know that Im not that important to you
Recognizing a diminished importance in the other person's life.
Anymore
Emphasizing the feeling of being no longer significant to the other person.
Anymore
Repetition for emphasis.
Better days better things...
Desiring better days and better experiences.
That's all I need, maybe some company
Expressing a need for positivity and companionship.
Other than liquor and weed
Desiring company and seeking solace in something other than alcohol and drugs.
I'm just tryna find my peace
Expressing a quest for inner peace amid personal struggles.
Falling to pieces, pick up my drink tonight
Feeling broken and turning to alcohol to cope.
I miss having your back
Expressing a longing for the support that the person used to provide.
And you having mine
Recalling the mutual support that existed between them.
I've been here waiting on you like forever
Repeating the theme of waiting for the person for an extended period.
I know that you said that you would be back
Reiterating the anticipation of the person's return.
It's been many years and you're not even near
Expressing the passage of many years without the person being close.
Guess that was me, this shit's getting me sad
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the prolonged separation.
Said we'd be back in ten years
Repeating the promise of a reunion in ten years.
Baby come back, Babe I'm out of my mind
Continuing to express emotional turmoil and the desire for the person to return.
It's only been five
Highlighting the short duration (five years) compared to the promised ten years.
Wonder how you living life
Curious about the current lifestyle and well-being of the other person.
Baby I'm out of my mind
Reiterating the emotional struggle and the longing for the person's return.
