Lyrics
There was a time
Reflecting on a past period
She could never see him
She couldn't understand him
And her fault
Her mistake was dependency
Was to always need him
Always relying on him
They became their only rescue
They found solace in each other
They connect
Emphasizing a strong connection
They connect
-And he says, "I know about your son."
He reveals knowledge about her son
That he feels so much older than he was
Feeling older than he is
When she only talks about her son
She mainly talks about her son
So much work
Expressing the relationship's challenges
There was a time
Recalling a time of familiarity
When I thought I knew you
Doubts about knowing the person
So much for that afternoon
Disappointment after an anticipated event
They became their only rescue
They find comfort in each other
They connect in the afternoon
Connection persists in the afternoon
And he says "I know about your man"
He acknowledges knowledge of her partner
...and their hearts will broken
Hearts at risk if a decision isn't made
If you can't decide between them
Choosing between them is crucial
So much longer wind on the phone
Long, challenging conversations
You don't have to answer,
No obligation to respond, but facing solitude
Have to walk alone
-So much work
Reiterating the effort required
And it's the same sad song
Similarities to a recurring sad situation
Coming back again
Repetition of past mistakes
The same old song,
-Flows back again
-And you don't have to live on your own
Dismissing the need to be alone
It's a lie in the end,
Ultimately, living a lie for approval
You only satisfy your friends
Prioritizing others over personal satisfaction
And you don't heal
Healing requires addressing issues at home
If you don't bring it home
-You don't have to settle
No need to settle for less
(Don't) have to say you won't
Rejecting the notion of refusal
You can stay
Permission to stay
You don't have to walk alone.
You're not obligated to face challenges alone
