Unveiling Heartache: Reflecting on Love's Departure in Olivia Connolly's 'Next Year'
Lyrics
Couldn't call, didn't know if you were in town
Unable to contact, uncertain of your location
Been a moment, feel wrong now you're not around
A period has passed, now feeling uneasy without your presence
And I can't see
Unable to perceive or understand
One day in front of me
No clear future ahead
Couldn't help, I still wish I could've done more
Regret for not providing more assistance
Talk to God through the wall, my knees on the floor
Praying or seeking guidance, feeling vulnerable
And I can't hear
Unable to hear or comprehend
About next week, or year
Uncertain about the upcoming week or year
Sugarcoat and the message is gone
Failing to soften the impact, losing the intended message
Compartmentalize when I know what I want
Dividing and organizing emotions when the desired outcome is clear
The right thing it still feels so wrong
Choosing the right path still feels morally incorrect
Can't realize what I'm missing is said and done
Realizing too late what is missing and can't be undone
Couldn't speak, much less breathe when it hits you hard
Unable to speak or breathe during a difficult moment
Been a trip round the sun, to know who we are
Experiencing a journey of self-discovery over time
And I can't taste
Unable to taste the joy that used to be on your face
The joy still on your face
The joy still lingers in memory
Wouldn't go, you don't know how much I recall
Choosing not to go, burdened by a sense of responsibility
Every day, still I say I think it's my fault
Every day, admitting fault and responsibility
And I can't touch
Unable to touch what remains of the relationship
What's left of us
Reflecting on what's left of the connection
Sugarcoat and the message is gone
Failing to soften the impact, losing the intended message (repeated)
Compartmentalize when I know what I want
Dividing and organizing emotions when the desired outcome is clear (repeated)
The right thing it still feels so wrong
Choosing the right path still feels morally incorrect (repeated)
Can't realize what I'm missing is said and done
Realizing too late what is missing and can't be undone (repeated)
And I won't tell
Choosing not to disclose certain feelings but wishing well
But I still wish you well
Despite the silence, expressing good wishes
Sugarcoat and the message is gone
Failing to soften the impact, losing the intended message (repeated)
Compartmentalize when I know what I want
Dividing and organizing emotions when the desired outcome is clear (repeated)
The right thing it still feels so wrong
Choosing the right path still feels morally incorrect (repeated)
Can't realize what I'm missing is gone
Realizing too late what is missing and can't be undone (repeated)
Sugarcoat and it all disappears
Failing to soften the impact, causing everything to disappear
Go back in my mind when you were still here
Revisiting memories when the person was still present
The right thing has become much less clear
Morally right actions becoming less evident
Can't see a light in the tunnel of next year
Unable to see hope or positivity in the future
The right thing it still feels so wrong
Refusing to accept the reality of saying something and losing the person
Refuse to realize I said it, and now you're gone
Denial of the acknowledgment of the loss
