I Try
Navigating Heartache: Struggles of Moving On
Lyrics
You haven't been yourself since the summer
You have been different or not yourself since the summer.
And lately the days are getting cold
Recently, the days have become colder.
You seem to worry 'bout the future now
You appear concerned about the future now.
About getting old
There is anxiety about aging.
You wear the same expression everyday
You consistently wear the same expression every day.
Just like those clothes that you put on
Similar to how you put on the same clothes daily.
I don't know she was or what she did
The speaker is uncertain about a woman (she) and her actions.
Or how it all went wrong
Uncertain about what happened or how things went wrong.
So wrong
Expressing that things went drastically wrong.
The rain is falling down, down, down
Describing the falling rain.
The sky is grey in Melbourne Town
The sky is gray in Melbourne Town, indicating a somber mood.
And I'm not the girl to
The speaker is not someone who can cheerfully wipe away sadness.
Wipe away your frown
Despite limitations, the speaker makes an effort to console.
But I try
The speaker acknowledges attempting to make things better.
Yeah I try
Reiterating the effort to improve the situation.
You haven't let go of the details
You still hold on to specific details.
Like the curve of her neck and the size of her shoe
Details include physical features like the curve of her neck and the size of her shoe.
Nobody ever looks at anyone these days
Observing that people nowadays rarely look at each other as intensely as you do.
The way you do
Highlighting the intensity of the speaker's gaze compared to societal norms.
You do
Emphasizing the speaker's unique way of looking at others.
The rain is falling down, down, down
Describing the continuing rain, maintaining the melancholic atmosphere.
The sky is grey in Melbourne Town
Reiterating the grayness of the sky in Melbourne Town.
And I'm not the girl to
Emphasizing once again that the speaker is not naturally comforting.
Wipe away your frown
Despite limitations, the speaker tries to alleviate sadness.
But I try
Reiterating the ongoing effort to make things better.
Yeah I try
Expressing a continuous commitment to trying to improve the situation.
Oh I try
The speaker concludes by emphasizing their persistent effort to make a positive difference.
