Lyrics
Right person at the wrong time
Timing was wrong for the right person
That's what they tell you about
Commonly said about situations like this
That didn't cross my mind
I didn't consider this possibility
When you loved me out loud
When you openly expressed your love for me
And they don't know all the promises that you made
Others aren't aware of the commitments you made to me
To me
Reiterating the promises made
It just goes to show
Highlights the discrepancy between words and actions
Some don't mean what they say
Some people don't follow through with their words
Now I drink to forget how you desert me
Using alcohol to forget the pain of abandonment
Drown my thoughts, won't let them hurt me
Trying to avoid painful thoughts
Temporary fixes
Temporary solutions to emotional pain
Temporary fixes
Reiterating the temporary nature of these solutions
All that wishful thinking for
Longing for things that won't last
Temporary fixes
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of fixes
What happened to the future plans
Wondering about the plans for the future that have disappeared
That we made?
Plans that were made together
I let you give me the world
Accepted everything from you, then saw it vanish
Then I watched it all fade
Watched everything fade away
You went back on commitment
You didn't honor your commitment
Now nothing remains
Nothing substantial remains now
Do you know what that did to me?
Asking if you understand the impact on me
Do you feel ashamed?
Questioning if you feel any guilt or regret
So I drink to forget how you desert me
Using alcohol to cope with abandonment
Drown my thoughts, won't let them hurt me
Trying to suppress painful thoughts
I'll find someone who deserves me
Seeking someone who values and respects me
And I'll dance with my friends out every weekend
Enjoying time with friends as a distraction
Put on a dress and hide the healing
Dressing up to conceal inner pain
They'll never know the pain I'm feeling
Hiding the depth of emotional suffering
Temporary fixes
Temporary solutions to pain
Temporary fixes
Reiterating the temporary nature of these solutions
It'll hurt less now
It might be less painful this way
And if I keep on wishing
Continuously wishing for a solution
Maybe I'll find how to
Hoping to overcome the sense of loss
Get over what's missing
Trying to move past what's absent
I don't wanna cope forever
Not wanting to deal with this forever
Temporary fixes
Temporary solutions to emotional pain
Temporary fixes
Reiterating the temporary nature of these solutions
If we break them down
Breaking these fixes to avoid risk
Then we don't have to risk it
Avoiding the vulnerability of feelings
Feelings lost and found
Experiencing emotions and then suppressing them
Gotta keep on living
Choosing to continue living despite difficulties
I don't wanna cope forever
Not wanting to perpetually rely on coping mechanisms
