For Old Times' sake
Embracing Tomorrow's Mistakes: For Old Times' Sake
Lyrics
Hold me tight, but just for tonight
Expressing a temporary desire for closeness, but limited to tonight.
cnd not as tight as before, we're not that close anymore
Acknowledging a decrease in closeness compared to the past.
cs least not in that way,
Clarifying that the closeness has changed, especially not in a romantic way.
We've drifted further apart with each day.
Noting the increasing distance between them over time.
We have waited it out,
Reflecting on a period of waiting to see if a casual love could develop.
Just to see if we could love one another casually.
Acknowledging the attempt to explore a casual relationship.
But Ii've been a good friend to you,
Asserting loyalty and being a good friend despite changing dynamics.
I've always been there for you.
Emphasizing consistent support and presence.
You say you don't know
Expressing confusion about the changes in the relationship.
Where did the people we used to be go.
Questioning the transformation from past selves to current selves.
You say you don't understand
Expressing a lack of understanding about why they drifted apart.
What ever made made me let go of your hand.
Reflecting on a moment when the speaker let go of the other person's hand.
But you never asked me to stay, and
Noting that the other person never explicitly asked them to stay.
If you wanted me to, you did not say.
Highlighting the importance of clear communication in relationships.
Now for old times sake
Suggesting a willingness to repeat past mistakes for the sake of nostalgia.
Go ahead and repeat that mistake
Encouraging the other person to repeat a past mistake for old times' sake.
Cause the moment is past now.
Acknowledging that the opportune moment for reconciliation has passed.
I've stopped counting the days,
Indicating a cessation of counting the days, possibly referring to moving on.
Somehow...
Expressing a sense of acceptance or resignation about the situation.
Let it be what it is,
Advocating acceptance of the current state, even if unintended.
Though we never intended for it to turn into this.
Acknowledging the initial good intentions that did not lead to a lasting relationship.
We had something good, it did not last
Rejecting constant dwelling on a relationship that had its moment.
Let's not be constantly re-living the past.
Encouraging a focus on the present and future rather than the past.
I have nothing but love for you,
Affirming a continued feeling of love despite the challenges.
Though you've often questioned
Addressing past doubts about the sincerity of the speaker's love.
How that could be true.
Challenging the other person to believe in the sincerity of the speaker's love.
Well you better start believing me if you ever wish to see yourself free
Connecting belief in the love to the possibility of finding freedom.
From this long and drawn-out process of letting go.
Describing the process of letting go as prolonged and challenging.
cll this grief and regret has kept your spirit low.
Stating that holding onto grief and regret affects one's well-being negatively.
