Lyrics
So strange how it changes through the years
Reflecting on how things change over the years.
How sweet the memories and souvenirs
Fond thoughts of past memories and keepsakes.
In a moment all the pieces just blew away
A sudden change or loss of important elements in life.
Lost forever
Permanent loss, something gone forever.
All the daydreams, lay shattered by your side
Daydreams shattered by someone's side.
All you cling to is empty love and pride
Clutching onto love and pride that lack substance.
All your comfort is all the tears you cried
Comfort derived from the tears cried, a paradoxical source.
That echo 'round this lonely heart
Reverberations of past pain in the heart.
I built my world around you
Centering one's world around another person.
Dreamed of a life beside you
Envisioning a life intertwined with that person.
I laid my heart upon the ground
Vulnerability, laying one's heart bare.
My sweet and sensitive thing
Referring to the person as sweet and sensitive.
What price the luxuries I own
Questioning the value of material luxuries.
That breaks a high, a heart, a home
Effects on happiness, relationships, and home.
In a lifetime it's the only thing I achieved
Achievement over a lifetime, possibly lost.
Lost forever
Irretrievable loss.
All the sweet dreams, lay shattered by my side
Sweet dreams shattered by personal experiences.
All I cling to is empty love and pride
Clings to superficial love and pride.
All the comfort is all the tears I've cried
Comfort found in the tears personally shed.
That echo round this lonely heart
Resonance of personal pain in the heart.
I built my world around you
World built around another person.
Dreamed of a life beside you
Dreams of a shared life with that person.
I laid my heart upon the ground
Heart exposed on the ground, vulnerable.
My sweet and sensitive thing
Referring to the person as sweet and sensitive.
I built my world around you
Reiteration of building a world around someone.
Dreamed of a life beside you
Reiteration of dreaming of a shared life.
I laid my heart upon the ground
Repetition of laying the heart bare.
My sweet and sensitive thing
Referring to the person as sweet and sensitive.
All the daydreams, lay shattered by your side
Recurrence of shattered daydreams by someone's side.
All you cling to is empty love and pride
Continued reliance on hollow love and pride.
All your comfort is all the tears you've cried
Comfort sought in one's own tears.
That echo 'round this lonely heart
Continued echoes of personal pain in the heart.
I built my world around you
Reaffirmation of building a world around someone.
Dreamed of a life beside you
Reaffirmation of dreaming of a shared life.
I laid my heart upon the ground
Reaffirmation of vulnerability, laying the heart bare.
My sweet and sensitive thing
Referring to the person as sweet and sensitive.
I laid a deep foundation
Establishing a strong foundation, perhaps in vain.
Displayed a new elation
Displaying newfound joy or excitement.
I bared my soul to all the world
Exposing one's inner self to the world.
My sweet and sensitive thing
Reiteration of referring to the person as sweet and sensitive.
