Nothing Worked
Love's Unraveled Symphony: Mike Maimone's Struggle
Lyrics
I can hear you saying,
I can hear you expressing...
"Now that was fast,
You're remarking on the speed of my actions
It didn't take long
It didn't take much time
For you to find a new love."
You quickly found a new love
Well maybe you should take a look
Suggesting a reflection on what was discarded
At what you trashed
Considering what you threw away
Matter fact, you might've just passed
Possibly missed an opportunity at true love
On one chance at true love
Reflecting on a potential missed chance
Up and down the same roads we drove together
Recalling shared journeys on familiar paths
Thinking we were paving our own together
Believing those paths were unique to us
Yeah, we were more sediment than set in stone,
Admitting fragility in our relationship
Whatever, I was trying...
My attempt, regardless...
Nothing worked
Expressing frustration that...
Nothing worked, I tried but
Despite efforts, nothing was effective
Nothing worked on you
Particularly, nothing influenced you
Maybe you've been happier
Contemplating whether...
Without me there
Your happiness increased without me
No you never much cared
You were indifferent to my presence or absence
Whether I'd stay or go
Noting your lack of concern for my choices
And I can hear you laughing 'bout it
Listening to you find amusement...
To your friends
Among your peers, at my expense
Another joke, where I'll be the last
Another instance where I'm the last to know
One you let know
The final person informed
Up and down the same aisles we perused together
Recalling shared experiences in stores
Thinking we were building something good and new together
Mistakenly thinking we were constructing something new
Yeah, we were less blueprint and more blues,
Realizing plans were more uncertain than planned
Whatever, I was trying...
My effort, regardless...
Nothing worked
Expressing the ineffectiveness of...
Nothing worked, I tried but
Despite attempts, nothing changed
Nothing worked on you
Especially, nothing impacted you
I tried, I tried a little too long
Acknowledging a prolonged effort
I lied, I lied, I told myself love,
Admitting to self-deception
I thought it was enough to give it
Believing love was sufficient
Now I see it's all I need to live it
Realizing love is essential for survival
Nothing worked
Expressing frustration that...
Nothing worked, I tried but
Despite efforts, nothing was effective
Nothing worked on you
Particularly, nothing influenced you
Nothing worked
Reiterating the frustration that...
No nothing worked, I tried but
Despite exhaustive efforts, nothing changed
Nothing worked on you
Especially, nothing impacted you
