Lyrics
There you were
Reflecting on the presence of someone
Sitting in front of me
Describing the physical proximity of the person
We’ve tried this talk before
Acknowledging previous attempts at communication
But it didn’t come out easily
Expressing difficulty in expressing thoughts or feelings
And now we’re here
Emphasizing the current situation of trying to resolve issues
Trying to work this out
Highlighting the effort to find a resolution together
Just the two of us in this room
Setting the scene of an intimate conversation
We’ve got no way out
Stating a sense of being trapped with no apparent solution
I don’t know who we are
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about the relationship
Or what we’re fighting for
Questioning the purpose or meaning of their conflicts
The skies are falling down on us
Using metaphorical language to describe a challenging situation
We’re not the same anymore
Noting a perceived change in the relationship dynamics
And each day that goes by
Describing a gradual increase in emotional pain
We’re suffering a little bit more
Expressing the cumulative emotional toll of their struggles
But I wanna let you know that
Affirming a desire to communicate a difficult message
I can’t do this anymore
Conveying a sense of reaching a breaking point
I’m such a fool
Admitting to naivety or misjudgment in the relationship
To think you would understand
Expressing disappointment in the other person's understanding
Our story had no longer any good
Indicating that their shared narrative has turned negative
So it came to this end
Stating a realization that the relationship has come to an end
And now all I can tell you
Expressing a limited ability to convey feelings
Is that I loved the best I could
Affirming a genuine effort in loving but recognizing limitations
But we didn’t feed this feeling and now who’s to blame
Highlighting a failure to nurture the relationship
but me and you
Attributing responsibility for the relationship's decline
I don’t know who we are
Reiterating confusion or uncertainty about the relationship
Or what we’re fighting for
Repeating the question about the purpose of their conflicts
The skies are falling down on us
Reusing metaphorical language to describe challenges
We’re not the same anymore
Reemphasizing a perceived change in the relationship
And each day that goes by
Reiterating the gradual increase in emotional pain
We’re suffering a little bit more
Repeating the cumulative emotional toll of their struggles
But I wanna let you know that
Reaffirming a desire to communicate a difficult message
I can’t do this anymore
Affirming a sense of inability to continue the current path
