I'll Tell You Something
Unraveling Love's Departure: A Melodic Tale of Heartbreak
Lyrics
When you left you really let me down
Expressing disappointment and feeling let down after the departure of a significant person.
I can't rise, though I've tried, I'm still waiting around,
Unable to overcome the emotional setback and still waiting for resolution or closure.
I remember how it used to be,
Reflecting on how the relationship used to be, possibly reminiscing about happier times.
I've tried, and I've tried but I can't understand.
Struggling to comprehend the reasons behind the departure despite repeated efforts.
Just the way you called out my name
Highlighting a change in the way the person used to call out the speaker's name, indicating a shift in the relationship dynamics.
Wasn't the same, it felt like a different game
Describing a sense of alienation or unfamiliarity in the way the name is now called.
And the way you called out my name....
Repetition of the changed name-calling, emphasizing the altered nature of the connection.
After time has slipped away,
Referring to the passage of time and its impact on the relationship.
You may find that I'm still on your mind,
Suggesting the lingering presence of the speaker in the other person's thoughts even after time has passed.
We'll have gone our separate ways
Anticipating a permanent separation and acknowledging the distance that has been created.
Much to far to turn around,
Stating that the separation is irreversible, implying a sense of finality.
You'll remember all the things we went through,
Recollection of shared experiences and history between the speaker and the other person.
Following me, following you for all time,
Describing a mutual pursuit, possibly suggesting a parallel journey or connection over time.
And you'll remember I still feel the same,
Affirming that the speaker's feelings remain unchanged despite the passage of time.
It's such a shame ....
Expressing regret or sadness about the current state of affairs.
I'll tell you something that you ought to know
Introducing a declaration or revelation that the speaker is about to share.
If you're leaving home today,
Advising the departing person about the strength of what they are leaving behind.
You're turning your back on something so strong,
Emphasizing the emotional weight and significance of the bond that is being abandoned.
But I hope you find your way.
Expressing a hope that the person will find their way despite the departure.
I'll tell you something that you ought to know
Reiteration of the impending departure and its impact on the speaker.
If you're leaving me today,
Addressing the emotional consequence of the person leaving, underlining the strength of the love being abandoned.
You're turning your back on a love that's so strong
Repeating the sentiment of a powerful love that might be lost forever.
That you might not find your way
Warning about the possibility of losing one's way without the support of the love that is being abandoned.
I'll tell you something that you gotta know
Declaring another piece of information that the listener needs to be aware of.
If you're leaving me today
Reiterating the potential consequences of leaving, emphasizing the speaker's inability to move forward.
Don't turn your back on me,
Issuing a plea not to turn away, expressing dependency on the departing person.
'Cause I can't go on,
Stating the speaker's inability to continue without the other person.
And I'll never find my way.
Conveying a sense of being lost and unable to find a way forward without the departed person.
