Wasted Day
Wasted Day: A Melodic Tale of Love's Scars
Lyrics
Yesterday, so full of pride and no sense of time
Reflecting on a proud and time-ignorant past day
No more dark clouds floatin’ in my way
No more obstacles or difficulties in my path
Too happy to say anything
Experiencing overwhelming happiness, rendering speech difficult
There she was as beautiful as can be
Describing the beauty of someone encountered
And a garden of roses as far as I could see
Portraying a scene of abundant beauty with roses
But when I tried to call you the other day
Expressing an attempt to contact someone
Did you even know about the scars you put in my way
Questioning awareness of the emotional wounds inflicted
And when I tried to open up and let you know
Attempting to open up emotionally
Your separate life got in the way of anything I could show
Obstacles caused by the other person's separate life
So there goes another game that you’ve played
Referring to a recurring pattern of games played in relationships
And all I have left to show is another wasted day
Outcome of the relationship – a day wasted
Another wasted day
Reiteration of the theme of a wasted day
Two weeks ago you didn’t know my name
Highlighting a recent shift in the person's awareness
Had a picture of your face in my head
Mental image of the person before a deeper connection
I took your hand, felt it in mine
Physical connection experienced by holding hands
And my heart got swept away, suddenly lost in time
Emotionally overwhelmed and lost in time due to the connection
There she was as beautiful as can be
Reintroduction of the beautiful person from earlier
But how was I to know that this girl would be the end of me
Unawareness of the eventual negative impact of the person
So when I tried to call you the other day
Repeating the attempt to communicate with the person
Did you even know about the scars you put in my way
Questioning awareness of emotional scars caused
And when I tried to open up and let you know
Reiterating challenges in opening up emotionally
Your separate life got in the way of anything I could show
Interference of the person's separate life in emotional expression
So there goes another game that you’ve played
Referring to a repetitive pattern of games in relationships
And all I have left to show is another wasted day
Concluding with the recurring theme of a wasted day
Another wasted day
Final reiteration of the outcome – another wasted day
