Navigating Love's Crossroads: Nicole Bernegger's Astray
Lyrics
Why do you leave without a word
Expressing confusion and hurt about someone leaving without explanation.
Are you just weak or scared to hurt her
Questioning if the person leaving is avoiding honesty to spare someone's feelings.
Why do you think you cannot find a way
Pondering the difficulty of finding a way to express one's true feelings.
To speak your truth and stay
Encouraging the idea of speaking one's truth and facing the consequences while staying true to oneself.
Why do you look for a new thrill
Asking why the person seeks new excitement when emotionally attached elsewhere.
When your heart’s entangled still
Highlighting emotional entanglement despite seeking new experiences.
Why at the crossroads now you choose a way
Questioning the choice of a path at a crucial decision point that leads astray.
That leads you just astray
Expressing disappointment in choosing a misguided path.
What once was easy now seems hard
Reflecting on the increasing difficulty of a situation that was once effortless.
So many roads are rough or barred
Acknowledging obstacles and challenges on various life paths.
So many goals pursued in vain
Pointing out the futility of pursuing goals when love is absent.
When love is gone what’s left to gain?
Questioning the value of goals when love is lost.
Why do you let go of his hand
Asking why someone would let go of a relationship without trying to make the other understand.
Say that he’ll never understand you
Emphasizing the difficulty of communication and understanding in a relationship.
Why do you rule him out and close the door
Questioning the decision to exclude someone and shut the door when they want to make amends.
When he wants to make good
Highlighting the opportunity for reconciliation and improvement.
Why do you look for a new thrill
Reiterating the perplexity of seeking new excitement while emotionally attached elsewhere.
When your heart’s entangled still
Emphasizing the continuing emotional entanglement despite seeking new experiences.
Why do you close your eyes and choose a way
Questioning the choice of a path with closed eyes that leads astray.
That leads you just astray
Expressing disappointment in choosing a misguided path again.
What once was precious now seems gone
Reflecting on the loss of something precious that once existed.
So many dreams, a love so strong
Acknowledging the strength of a love that is now seemingly gone.
So many vows taken in vain
Highlighting the futility of vows when trust is broken.
When trust is gone what’s left to gain?
Questioning the value of pursuing dreams when trust is lost.
What once was true seems but a show
Expressing the disillusionment that what was once true now appears as a mere facade.
You give it up you let it go
Conveying the act of giving up and letting go of something genuine.
And hope soon gets lost in the haze
Highlighting the fading hope in the midst of confusion and uncertainty.
Two lovers gone to go astray
Summarizing the situation of two lovers who have gone astray from each other.
