Lyrics
When you found somebody new I thought
Expressing surprise and disappointment at the discovery of someone new in the narrator's life.
I never would
Reflecting on the belief that the narrator would never forget the person.
Forget you more that I thought I never could
Acknowledging the difficulty of forgetting, contrary to initial expectations.
But times takin all the pain away
Noting that time has gradually eased the pain.
Until now I'm down and hurting once a day
Revealing that the pain resurfaces, causing distress once a day.
Once a day
Emphasizing the frequency of the emotional struggle, happening once a day.
All day long
Reiterating the daily nature of the emotional hardship.
And once at night
Describing the nightly occurrence of emotional pain.
From dusk til dawn
Highlighting the persistence of emotional distress from dusk till dawn.
The only time
Expressing a longing for the person only at specific times.
I wish you weren't gone
Indicating that the narrator wishes the person hadn't left only once a day.
Is once a day everyday alll day long

I'm so glad I'm not like a friend I knew one time
Comparing the narrator's emotional state to that of a friend who suffered more intensely.
He lost the one he loved
Narrating the friend's loss of love and subsequent decline into madness.
And slowly lost his mind
Describing the friend's gradual mental deterioration.
He sat around and cried his life away
Depicting the friend's response of crying and wasting away due to heartbreak.
Lucky my I'm only crying once a day
Expressing gratitude that the narrator is only experiencing daily sorrow, not a more severe mental decline.
Once a day

All day long

And once at night

The only time

I wish you weren't gone
