It Still Hurts
Echoes of Love Lost: Nostalgic Pain in Melanie Ryan's 'It Still Hurts'
Lyrics
Oh it still hurts sometimes
There are moments where the pain persists.
When I think I see you standing there
Perceiving a resemblance to you triggers emotions.
Same coat and same dark hair
Similar appearance to how I remember you.
But that's just my memory of you
These resemblances are mere reflections in my mind.
And it still hurts sometimes
The pain resurfaces, particularly while passing familiar places.
When I'm driving past that restaurant
A location where significant emotions were shared.
Where you told me that you were in love
Recalling the moment you professed love, causing pain.
And that hurts bad sometimes
These memories evoke intense emotional pain.
You will never know
You remain unaware of the depth of my anguish.
How much it hurts to lose love in the winter cold
Losing love during harsh times intensifies the pain.
And you will never know
My sorrow remains hidden from your understanding.
How I cried so loud in bed that night after you said
The aftermath of your departure caused profound distress.
That it was over and you were gone
Your abandonment and declaration of the end shattered me.
You left me hanging by the phone
Left waiting for communication that never came.
This pain I buried it alive
I tried to suppress this agony but failed.
But it comes back from time to time
Despite attempts to bury it, the pain resurfaces intermittently.
Oh it still hurts sometimes
Thoughts about your family continue to stir emotions.
When I think about your family
Reflections on loving a member of your family.
God I loved your little brother
Deep affection for your younger sibling.
I wonder how is he?
Concern about their well-being after separation.
'Cause I never got to say goodbye
Regret for not having the chance to bid farewell.
You will never know
Your lack of understanding about the depth of my pain remains.
How much it hurts to lose love in the winter cold
The anguish of losing love during difficult times lingers.
And you will never know
Your comprehension of my emotional turmoil is absent.
How I cried so loud in bed that night after you said
The intense sorrow experienced after your departure.
That it was over and you were gone
Your abrupt exit and the subsequent distress.
You left me hanging by the phone
Left waiting, hoping for contact that never arrived.
This pain I buried it alive
I attempted to bury this pain, yet it resurfaces.
But it comes back from time to time
The emotional distress returns periodically despite efforts.
Oh it still hurts sometimes
Even though I'm happy with my current partner, pain persists.
Though I have found my perfect guy
Despite newfound happiness, the pain still lingers.
I've never been happier with him by my side
Contentment in the present relationship, but pain endures.
But I hate that it still hurts sometimes
Dislike that the pain still affects me despite current happiness.
