Lyrics

The alarm clock is ringing and I know it's another day

The speaker wakes up to another day, expecting to feel down and gloomy.

Where I'll be feeling blue and where my skies are grey

Anticipating a day filled with sadness and a lack of brightness in life.

Don't wanna get up when I know there 's nothing left to say

The speaker doesn't want to start the day knowing there's nothing left to discuss or resolve between them and someone else.

Between you and me

There's an unresolved issue or unspoken words between the speaker and someone else.

Let me forget your name

The speaker desires to forget the person's name.

Yeah

Expression of emotion or affirmation.

And I'm not feeling like I should be doing what you say

The speaker doesn't feel obliged to follow someone else's directives because they've been advised to move on.

Cause what you told me is, I got to move on anyway

Advice received to move forward despite conflicting emotions.

But the feelings that I hold for you are just always here to stay

The deep feelings for the person remain despite efforts to let go.

Even if I'll be dismayed

Even if upset, the speaker will allow the other person to have their way.

I will let you have your way

Resignation to letting the other person dictate the situation.

Here I am once again

The speaker finds themselves in a recurring situation.

Another day that I get to spend

Another day that the speaker has to experience.

The loss of you I can't comprehend

The inability to understand the loss of the person.

But I still pretend

Despite the pain, the speaker pretends to be fine with the situation.

That I'm Okay with this not being meant

Acceptance of the situation not being destined or meant to happen.

This not being meant

Reiteration that the situation was not meant to be.

Us not being meant

Clarification that the relationship between them wasn't meant to happen.

You made it very clear, you're not coming back to me

The person has made it clear they won't return.

That I would ever change is what you cannot see

The person doesn't believe they can change for the better.

I tried to play it down like everything is fine

Trying to pretend that everything is alright despite the pain.

Tried to take it as a sign that you're not meant to be mine

Seeing the person's absence as a sign that they were not meant to be together.

But my heart hurts everyday

The speaker's heartache persists daily.

And I will let you have your way

Despite the pain, the speaker allows the other person to have their way.

Here I am once again

Repetition of finding oneself in a similar situation again.

Another day that I get to spend

Another day spent dealing with the loss of the person.

The loss of you I can't comprehend

Still unable to grasp the loss of the person.

But I still pretend

Despite the inner turmoil, the speaker pretends to be fine.

That I'm Okay with this not being meant

Acceptance of the situation not being destined or meant to happen.

This not being meant

Restating that the situation was not meant to be.

Us not being meant

Reaffirmation that their relationship wasn't meant to happen.

Here I am once again

Repetition of being in a recurring emotional state.

(I tried to play it down like everything is fine)

Recalling an attempt to pretend that everything is fine.

(Tried to take it as a sign that you're not meant to be mine)

Seeing the person's absence as a sign that they were not meant to be together.

The loss of you I can't comprehend

The speaker remains unable to understand the loss of the person.

(But my heart hurts everyday)

Continuing to experience heartache daily.

That I'm Okay

Claiming to be okay despite the emotional pain.

(I tried to play it down like everything is fine)

Recalling an attempt to pretend that everything is fine.

With this not being meant

Acceptance of the situation not being destined or meant to happen.

(Tried to take it as a sign that you're not meant to be mine)

Seeing the person's absence as a sign that they were not meant to be together.

This not being meant

Reiteration that the situation was not meant to be.

(But my heart hurts everyday)

Continuing to experience heartache daily.

Us not being meant

Clarification that their relationship wasn't meant to happen.

Yeah

Conclusion or affirmation.
