Loaner Boy
Heartache Chronicles: Night Rooms' Tale of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
Out of my heart there you run and now I'm not having fun
Expressing sadness and dissatisfaction after a breakup, feeling that the relationship is no longer enjoyable.
Find it hard to believe when they say that I'm still young
Doubting claims about youthfulness, indicating a struggle to accept the reality of growing older.
And dumb, I'm numb, and bummed I'm not your man no more
Feeling emotionally numb, disappointed, and no longer being the significant other.
Was I before?
Questioning the past status as a romantic partner.
And I wanna be who you see in your dreams, in your sheets
Desiring to be the ideal person in the other's dreams and intimate moments.
I'm deceased, my disease is coming solely from your
Expressing emotional decay caused by unrequited love.
Eyes in the photo I delete from my phone I was so hopeful
Referencing deleting a hopeful photo, possibly symbolizing removing optimistic memories.
I was before
Reflecting on a past hopeful state before the relationship took a negative turn.
Now I, I'm not your man no more, who was I before
Affirming the end of being the person's man, emphasizing the change in the relationship.
Just a friend of yours, ATM for sure, and your chauffeur
Acknowledging a shift from a romantic role to being just a friend, ATM, and chauffeur.
I'm your loaner boy
Describing oneself as a temporary substitute or placeholder in the absence of a true romantic connection.
Said "Don't be such a stoner, boy
Receiving advice not to be detached or indifferent, possibly related to drug use.
Why are you so alone now, boy
Questioning the reason for loneliness, suggesting internal struggles.
Is this what you've become, my boy?"
Asking if the current state is the result of personal choices and actions.
Found someone new wasn't you couldn't move
Discovering a new person, but unable to move on due to emotional baggage.
Couldn't speak couldn't eat was embarrassed by my teeth
Experiencing physical and emotional distress, possibly linked to self-esteem issues.
Found it harder to believe that she'd wanna be with me until she said so
Struggling to believe someone could want a relationship, questioning personal worth.
What do I know?
Expressing uncertainty and self-doubt about understanding relationships.
She gave me the world but I couldn't take her word
Receiving love but unable to trust, possibly due to past hurts.
Cause you had hurt me before do you remember I'm not sure
Recalling past hurts, questioning if the other person remembers the pain caused.
So before she had her turn I had to say to her
Before allowing the new person in, expressing the need to address lingering issues.
I'm not your man no more, I'm sorry girl
Apologizing and ending the relationship, recognizing the inability to be the person's man.
And I, I'm not your man no more, I'm sorry cause
Reiterating the end of the relationship and expressing regret for the inability to trust.
Don't know how to trust, threw so much love, right out the door
Reflecting on the difficulty of trusting and lamenting the loss of love.
She said, "I'm your loaner, boy"
Labeling oneself as a temporary replacement, acknowledging the lack of permanence.
Said, "Don't be such a coward, boy
Advising against cowardice, possibly addressing emotional avoidance or reluctance.
This is why you're alone now, boy
Linking current loneliness to personal choices, questioning the path taken.
But if that's what you want, my boy
Accepting loneliness as a consequence, offering freedom if it's what is desired.
Yeah if you wanna run, my boy
Granting permission to leave if running away is the preferred choice.
I guess we had our fun, my boy
Acknowledging past enjoyment but stating it's now over, recognizing commonality in pain.
You're just like everyone else, boy
Pointing out the universality of experiencing hurt, emphasizing a shared human experience.
I guess we all get hurt once, my boy"
Concluding that everyone goes through hurt at least once in life.
