For You and You Alone
Echoes of Heartache: Navigating Life's Struggles in 'For You and You Alone'
Lyrics
They no longer dance, to the same tune
People aren't following the same path anymore.
And all that once was right, ain't, quite so much of late
Things that used to be right aren't as much anymore.
There's always an excuse, not home in time for tea these days
There's always a reason for not being home for dinner lately.
Cos he's already, got so much on his plate
Because he's dealing with a lot already.
Wiser be the man, who hasn't always been this way
It's wiser to have changed from past behavior.
Who either always stayed too long, or left before his mind was made
Someone who either stayed too long or left before making decisions.
My friend, it's me it's not just you
Reassurance that the speaker is going through the same.
We've all been there without a care not knowing what to do or with whom
Everyone has experienced uncertainty in relationships.
Feels like you're on your own
Feels like being alone in the situation.
Have you ever heard, the sound a broken heart makes
Describing the sound of a broken heart metaphorically.
Or counted all the steps the road to feeling right takes
It takes numerous steps to heal emotionally.
Like me, you've worn down a few
Both have experienced wearing out in relationships.
Stitchings frayed and soles are stained but they'll just have to do, as your shoes
Metaphorically referring to worn-out shoes as enduring despite flaws.
Are made for you and you alone
Emphasizing the uniqueness and resilience of oneself.
Sticks and stones have never bruised a man as much as words do
Words can hurt more than physical harm.
But nothing cuts as deep as questions that you should have answered true
Unanswered questions hurt deeply.
So tell me all the things you wanna say but haven't as yet managed to
Encouraging open communication about withheld feelings.
Feels like you're on your own
Continuing to feel isolated in the situation.
Have you ever heard, the sound a broken heart makes
Reiteration of the metaphorical sound of a broken heart.
Or counted all the steps the road to feeling right takes
Emphasizing the complexity of the journey to emotional recovery.
Like me, you've worn down a few
Shared experiences of wearing down emotionally.
Stitchings frayed and soles are stained but they'll just have to do, as your shoes
Metaphorical reference to enduring despite imperfections.
Are made for you and you alone
Reaffirming the uniqueness and individuality of one's struggles.
Ooooo, I know you've tried, I know you've tried
Acknowledgment of efforts put into finding peace of mind.
For peace of mind oh pal of mine you
Assurance that the person will be alright despite hardships.
will be fine
Belief in the gradual progress toward betterment.
Cos we're always getting there
Assurance of continual progress, even if slow.
Like me, you've worn down a few
Shared experiences of emotional weariness.
Stitchings frayed and soles are stained but they'll just have to do, as your shoes
Metaphorical resilience despite experiencing strain.
Are made for you and you alone
Reaffirmation of individual struggles and endurance.
Have you ever heard, the sound a broken heart makes
Reiteration of the sound of a broken heart metaphor.
Or counted all the steps the road to feeling right takes
Highlighting the extensive process of emotional healing.
Like me, you've worn down a few
Continued acknowledgment of emotional wear and tear.
Stitchings frayed and soles are stained but they'll just have to do, as your shoes
Metaphorical endurance despite wear and tear.
Are made for you and you alone
Emphasizing individual resilience in facing struggles.
Like me, you've worn down a few
Continued shared experiences of emotional strain.
Stitchings frayed and soles are stained but they'll just have to do, as your shoes
Metaphorical reference to enduring despite imperfections.
Are made for you and you alone
Reaffirming the uniqueness and individuality of one's struggles.
