The Hardest Part
Navigating the Timelines of Love's Regret
Lyrics
Pretend you're happy, pretend we're fine
Pretending to be happy, maintaining the facade that everything is fine
I guess that's easier after all this time
Acknowledging that pretending becomes easier with the passage of time
Talk about someone else then look in my eyes
Discussing others to avoid direct eye contact, possibly to hide true emotions
I know you still hold on to us inside
Awareness that the other person still clings to the past and the relationship
But we watched that butterfly fly
Recalling a shared experience of watching a butterfly together
I'd give anything just to be with you again but it's not the right time
Expressing a strong desire to be with the person again despite unfavorable circumstances
And I'd give anything just to feel you on my skin
Longing to physically feel the presence of the other person
But it's not the right time and it'll never be the right time, will it?
Recognizing that the timing is not right and may never be conducive for reunion
It might never be the right time and that's the hardest part of it
Highlighting the difficulty of accepting that the right time may never come
I keep you in my mind even though you've gone
Maintaining memories of the person even though they are no longer present
Holding on to nothing's easier than letting go
Suggesting that holding on to the memory is easier than letting go emotionally
Stuck in the memory of what has been
Feeling trapped in the recollections of past experiences
Just please don't love another like you loved me
Pleading with the person not to love another in the same way
Time doesn't heal, it just leaves me asking why
Challenging the notion that time heals wounds, instead expressing ongoing confusion
I'd give anything just to be with you again but it's not the right time
Reiterating the strong desire to be together despite unfavorable circumstances
And I'd give anything just to feel you on my skin
Expressing the longing to physically feel the person again
But it's not the right time and it'll never be the right time, will it?
Acknowledging that the right time may never come, emphasizing the difficulty
It might never be the right time and that's the hardest part of it
Highlighting the emotional challenge of accepting the potential absence of the right time
And I don't know why I feel this way
Expressing confusion about the emotions being felt
If I could, I'd change, believe me
Desiring personal change and expressing regret for past actions
And I know that you feel the same, is it too late for saving?
Believing that the other person shares similar feelings, questioning the possibility of reconciliation
Oh, here I go again
Indicating a repeated cycle of emotional struggle
Cause I'd give anything just to be with you again but it's not the right time
Repeating the strong desire to be together despite unfavorable circumstances
And I'd give anything just to feel you on my skin
Expressing the longing to physically feel the person again
But it's not the right time and it'll never be the right time, will it?
Acknowledging that the right time may never come, emphasizing the difficulty
It might never be the right time and that's the hardest part of it
Highlighting the emotional challenge of accepting the potential absence of the right time
It'll never be the right time, will it?
Reiterating the belief that the right time may never come
