Lyrics
When you found somebody new I thought
Reflecting on the moment when the person found a new partner
I never would forget you more that I thought I never could
Expressing surprise at the difficulty of forgetting the person
But times takin' all the pain away
Acknowledging that time is gradually easing the emotional pain
Until now I'm down and hurting once a day
Describing the current state of feeling down and experiencing emotional pain daily
Once a day, all day long
Highlighting the frequency of experiencing emotional pain once every day
And once at night from dusk 'till dawn
Emphasizing the daily emotional pain, including throughout the night
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Expressing a desire for the person not to be gone, especially during the mentioned time
Is once a day everyday all day long
Reiterating the daily nature of the emotional struggle
I'm so glad I'm not like a friend I knew one time
Expressing relief at not following the path of a friend who lost love and sanity
He lost the one he loved and slowly lost his mind
Describing the friend's unfortunate experience of losing both love and sanity
He sat around and cried his life away
Depicting the friend's reaction of crying away his life
Lucky my I'm only crying once a day
Expressing gratitude for only crying once a day in contrast to the friend's experience
Once a day all day long
Repeating the theme of daily emotional pain throughout the day
And once at night from dusk 'till dawn
Reiterating the emotional struggle extending into the night
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Reiterating the desire for the person not to be gone, specifically during emotional moments
Is once a day everyday all day long
Reiterating the persistent nature of daily emotional pain
Is once a day everyday all day long
Summarizing the recurring theme of daily emotional struggle
