The Only Thing We Could Give
Lost Time and Unspoken Gifts: Mad Valley's Reflection on Love
Lyrics
What's a heart anyway?
Questioning the essence of a heart and its significance.
So many say it's broken, empty or saved
Acknowledging varied interpretations of a heart – broken, empty, or saved.
And who am I to replay
Reflecting on personal responsibility in the narrative.
Another verb, same shit, different way
Expressing frustration with repetitive actions and situations.
Different way
Emphasizing the desire for a change in direction.
Does it live in your chest,
Questioning the location and nature of emotions within the body.
Or does it fill and float up into your head
Contemplating whether emotions are contained or transcend to the mind.
Where reason never fails
Highlighting the reliability of emotions over reason.
And like a clock, logic always prevails
Drawing a parallel between emotions and the ticking of a clock.
Oh, I lost us, is it that obvious
Admitting to a realization of losing something important.
I never gave you the only thing I could give
Acknowledging a failure to provide the most valuable thing.
Time could keep us, our morning, glorious
Recognizing the potential for time to strengthen the relationship.
But we wasted it, the only thing we could give
Regret for squandering the opportunity to invest time.
Take down your picture frames
Suggesting a futile attempt to remove reminders of the past.
Nothing helps because you're always all that I see
Expressing the omnipresence of a significant person in thoughts.
Now everything's the same
Noting a sense of stagnation and repetition.
When I look for us, we're never where we should be
Searching for a relationship in places where it is not found.
Oh, I lost us, is it that obvious
Reiterating the awareness of losing something valuable.
I never gave you the only thing I could give
Repeating the failure to provide the essential contribution.
Time could keep us, our morning, glorious
Revisiting the idea that time could have positively influenced the relationship.
But we wasted it, the only thing we could give
Expressing remorse for not utilizing the potential of time.
Sometimes it's so easy to forget
Reflecting on the ease with which important things are forgotten.
The only thing we have to give
Stating the primary and limited offering in a relationship.
Is all we get
Emphasizing the reciprocity of what is given and received.
Oh, I lost us, is it that obvious
Reiterating the realization of losing something important.
I never gave you the only thing I could give
Repeating the failure to provide the most valuable contribution.
Time could keep us, our morning, glorious
Restating the potential positive impact of time on a relationship.
But we wasted it, the only thing we could give
Expressing regret for not making the most of the opportunity with time.
But we wasted it, the only thing we could give
Repeating the lament for squandering the only valuable contribution.
Now I wish that I could waste what's left with you
Desiring to spend the remaining time with the significant other.
Waste what's left with you
Reiterating the wish to utilize the remaining time with the significant other.
