Living on the outside

You know it's hard to tell
It's challenging to determine the narrator's current situation.
Five years relations
Five years of relationship have ended abruptly.
Went down the drain
The relationship has deteriorated significantly.
What does it matter
Despite the breakup, her essential nature remains unchanged.
She'll always be the same
Regardless of the circumstances, she will always be the same person.

Crying doesn't matter now

She's going away

She's going away for good
Her departure is final and irreversible.

Crying doesn't matter now

Crying won't change the situation.
She's gone away
