Lyrics
There came atime in my life
Reflecting on a specific period in the narrator's life.
When everything seemed alright
Initial optimism and positivity in the narrator's circumstances.
But everything turned out wrong
Unexpectedly, things take a negative turn.
And now I've got to carry on
The narrator faces challenges but must continue forward.
Without you in my life
The absence of someone important in the narrator's life.
Sleep through the day into the night
Engaging in a passive routine, moving through day and night.
Roll out of bed what can be said
Getting up without enthusiasm, expressing a lack of purpose.
I'm living now but I feel dead
Despite being alive, the narrator feels emotionally dead.
He doesn't realize what he's got
Observing someone who doesn't appreciate what they have.
I'll be there when he is not
The narrator pledges to be there in the absence of the unappreciative person.
I hope I stay stuck in his head
Desiring to be a lingering thought in the other person's mind.
I'm living now but I feel dead
Despite living, the narrator continues to feel emotionally numb.
You walked away yesterday
Someone significant walked away in the past.
Now today there's nothing to say
Current lack of communication or resolution with the departed person.
So tomorrow will never know
Anticipating that the future won't provide closure or understanding.
What should have been or could have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities and unrealized potential.
Cause yesterday has been done
Accepting that the past is irreversible and completed.
You walked away yesterday
Repetition of the theme of someone leaving in the past.
Now today there's nothing to say
Continuation of the lack of communication or resolution.
So tomorrow will never know
Reiterating the expectation that the future won't bring closure.
What should have been or could have been
Repeating the reflection on missed opportunities and unrealized potential.
Cause yesterday has been done
Emphasizing the finality of the past and its events.
