Lying Awake in the Dark
Contemplating Regrets: Lying Awake in Reflection
Lyrics
As the world looked on and frowned, why did I stay
Contemplating the disapproval of the world, questioning the decision to stay.
But I stood on the bend of the road as you faded away
Standing at a crossroads as a person fades from the speaker's life.
It's then that I noticed the breeze
Noticing the environment, possibly seeking meaning or connection.
Or was something else moving the trees
Questioning whether an external force influenced the surroundings.
Why did you run when you did
Reflecting on the actions of the departed person, questioning the reasons for their departure.
Should I have done what I did
Contemplating personal choices and actions taken at the critical moment.
Who am I trying to kid, it's done
Acknowledging the irreversibility of the situation, expressing a sense of resignation.
Now I'm lying awake in the dark
Experiencing the aftermath, unable to sleep and immersed in thoughts in the dark.
It was late but I didn't care, the evening was clear
Ignoring the late hour, suggesting a disregard for conventional concerns due to emotional turmoil.
If I'd stopped to look at the night would you still be here
Wondering if a different choice or perspective could have preserved the relationship.
Should I have just left you there
Contemplating whether leaving the person alone was the right decision.
Or helped you to crawl on somewhere
Considering the possibility of providing assistance or support in a difficult moment.
Why did you run when you did
Revisiting the departure, questioning the motive behind the person's actions.
(Where were you running to)
Pondering the destination or purpose of the person's escape.
Should I have done what I did
Reflecting on personal actions, wondering if different choices could have been made.
(I didn't know what else to do)
Expressing uncertainty about alternative courses of action in the given situation.
Who am I trying to kid, it's done
Reiterating the finality of the situation, acknowledging the inability to change the past.
Now I'm lying awake in the dark
Enduring sleeplessness while grappling with the emotional aftermath of the events.
