Navigating Heartbreak: Molly Nilsson's Reflection on Loss and Healing
Lyrics
I can't believe it's real
I am finding it hard to believe that this situation is real.
And there's no other way around
There is no alternative or escape from the current circumstances.
Getting used to this new feeling
Adjusting to this new emotion or experience will bring significant changes to your life.
Will turn your life around
Adapting to this feeling can be transformative.
I can forget, I'll forgive your regrets
I am willing to overlook and forgive your mistakes and remorse.
If breaking my pride
If compromising my self-respect is what I needed to do.
Was all I ever needed
Perhaps sacrificing my pride was the essential thing.
Time
The passage of time is crucial.
Was all I ever needed
Time is the key factor in the situation.
What am I supposed to say
I am unsure of what I should say.
When everything just sounds so cruel?
Everything seems harsh and unkind.
Driving you away
Pushing you away or distancing myself.
The friend I thought I saw in you
The friend I thought I knew has disappointed me.
I can't pretend that losing a friend
I cannot pretend that losing a friend doesn't hurt.
Ain't aching inside
The pain is deep within.
Time
Time is essential.
All I ever needed
Time is all-encompassing and necessary.
All I ever needed
(Empty line, may indicate a pause or reflection.)
I can forget and I'll forgive your regrets
I am willing to forget and forgive your remorse.
Breaking my pride
If compromising my self-respect was necessary.
All I ever needed
It was all I ever needed.
Time
Time is indispensable.
All I ever needed
Time is all-encompassing and necessary.
It's alright if leaving
It's acceptable if leaving brings you what you require.
Gives you what you needed
Leaving is permissible if it fulfills your needs.
It's alright
It's acceptable.
But now it's all I got
But now, all I have is time.
I can't pretend, facing the end
I cannot pretend that facing the end is not painful.
Ain't aching inside
The pain is deep within; time is all I ever needed.
All I ever needed
(Reiteration of the importance of time.)
As if, time
As if time was the only thing I ever needed.
Was all I ever needed
Time is crucial.
Time
Time is indispensable.
Was all I ever needed
(Reiteration of the importance of time.)
All I ever needed
All I ever needed is time.
