Lyrics
Empty hearts and blackout nights
Feeling emotionally drained and experiencing dark, difficult times.
Was all I had to show for all of my good times
Regretful reflection on past experiences, with emptiness as the outcome.
But when she came around
The entrance of someone new into the narrator's life.
She changed everything somehow
This person brings significant positive changes.
Without her nothing's alright - nothing's alright
Expressing dependence on the newfound positivity, with a strong emphasis on the negative impact of its absence.
But I don't think about her anymore
Claiming to have moved on from thinking about the person mentioned earlier.
The way she looked when she walked through the door
Recalling the visual impact of the person entering the narrator's life.
We all fell hopelessly in love
A collective experience of falling deeply in love.
Now I don't think about her much
Indicating a diminished significance of the person in the narrator's thoughts.
Empty hearts we drink alone
Returning to a state of emotional emptiness, using alcohol as a coping mechanism.
Wonder what went wrong and where she could've gone
Reflecting on the past, pondering what went wrong in the relationship.
She's not coming back
Acceptance that the person is not returning.
And I'll make due with that
Resignation to the situation and making do with the absence of the person.
I guess nothing's alright - nothing's alright
Reiteration that things are not okay without the person.
And when it was all done
Reflecting on the aftermath of the relationship, revealing the person never experienced love.
She'd never been in love
Confirmation that the person was never in love.
Nothing in all that time
Emphasizing the lack of positive experiences during the relationship.
Nothing for all I tried
Expressing the narrator's futile efforts in the relationship.
Nothings alright - nothings alright
Reiteration that nothing is okay without the person.
And I don't think about her anymore
Reiteration of not thinking about the person anymore.
The way she looked when she walked through the door
Revisiting the visual memory of the person's entrance.
We all fell hopelessly in love
Recalling the collective experience of falling in love, with a change in the intensity of thoughts.
Now I don't think about her much
Further reduction in the importance of the person in the narrator's thoughts.
I don't think much about her anymore
Emphasizing a lack of significant thoughts about the person.
The way she looked when she walked out the door
Recalling the person's departure and visual appearance while leaving.
The way she left the way she does
Describing the manner in which the person left.
Now I don't think about her much
Reiterating the reduced significance of thoughts about the person.
