Coming up Empty
Echoes of Heartbreak: 25 Days Adrift in Love's Aftermath
Lyrics
It's been 25 days since I went under your knife of heartbreak over love
Reflecting on a heartbreak experience endured 25 days ago.
But I'm feeling alright
Expressing a sense of well-being despite the past heartbreak.
It's been 25 days and you're still on my mind
Acknowledging that thoughts of the person persist after 25 days.
Don't think of you often, well that's a lie
Admitting to frequent thoughts of the person despite claiming otherwise.
Yearning for the days I would stay out late
Nostalgic yearning for carefree days spent out late.
Yearning for the days when I was learning your name
Longing for the initial stages of learning and knowing the person.
It was easy, everything was easy
Recalling a time when everything in the relationship felt easy.
You're my first love it'll always be that way
Affirming that the person is the first love and it will always hold significance.
I got a picture of you on my bedside, there will always be a place
Keeping a physical reminder of the person by having their picture on the bedside.
There will always be a place
Emphasizing the enduring place the person holds in the narrator's heart.
Coming up empty when you're keeping score
Expressing a feeling of emptiness when keeping track of emotional wounds.
Coming up empty when it all means more
Feeling empty when attaching significance to past experiences.
Yes I am, coming up empty
Affirming the ongoing sense of emptiness.
It's been 25 days since our last big fight
Highlighting a significant fight that occurred 25 days ago.
I slammed the door in the lot of the pouring rain when I said goodbye
Recalling a dramatic farewell moment in the pouring rain.
Did we ever talk about the letters I wrote
Questioning whether past letters had any meaningful impact on the relationship.
And did they ever mean anything
Raising doubt about the significance of communication in the past.
All my life and its regrets
Reflecting on a life filled with regrets.
Coming up empty when you're keeping score
Reiterating the emptiness felt when tallying emotional wounds.
Coming up empty when it all means more
Feeling empty when attributing importance to past events.
Yes I am, coming up empty
Confirming the persistent sense of emptiness.
Coming up empty
Repetition emphasizing the recurrence of emptiness in various aspects.
