Lyrics
It happened so easy at the start
Reflecting on the ease of the beginning of a relationship.
Got too used to being understood
Adapting to being easily understood by the partner.
Then one day I caught you looking down
Observing a change in the partner's mood or demeanor.
Couldn't reach you like I thought I could
Feeling a difficulty in connecting or understanding the partner.
I never knew why you gave it all up
Expressing confusion about why the partner gave up on something.
Is it that it?
Pondering if the partner's decision is final.
Was there something I missed in those silences
Questioning if there were unspoken issues in the relationship.
That we couldn't seem to break through?
Struggling to break through the silent moments between them.
Should have known it needed more than this
Realizing that the relationship needed more effort to survive.
To hold onto you
Recognizing the need for additional commitment to the partner.
Just tell me the truth
Requesting honesty from the partner.
Who's got you singing again?
Inquiring about the source of joy or inspiration in the partner.
Who put that light back in your eyes?
Asking who brought back the light and positivity in the partner.
Who's got you singing again?
Repeating the question about the cause of the partner's happiness.
That thing you had
Referencing a lost quality or attribute in the partner.
I wish I'd come back with the right line
Expressing regret for not responding appropriately in the past.
As you drew down the blind
Recalling a specific moment of closing off emotions.
Was just a matter of time
Suggesting that the emotional closure was inevitable.
I know that you've been a little restless
Acknowledging the partner's restlessness and proactive nature.
And you're not the type to let it lie
Recognizing the partner's tendency not to ignore issues.
While I'm here counting what I've still got left
Reflecting on personal losses while the partner is restless.
Was in a daze when you gave it all up
Recalling a moment of confusion when the partner made a significant decision.
Is that it?
Pondering if the partner's decision was final.
Was there something I missed in those silences
Questioning if there were unspoken issues in the relationship (repeated).
That we never seemed to break through?
Expressing continued difficulty in breaking through silent moments (repeated).
Should have known it needed more than this
Realizing that the relationship needed more effort to survive (repeated).
To hold onto you
Reiterating the recognition of the need for additional commitment (repeated).
Just tell me the truth
Requesting honesty from the partner (repeated).
Who's got you singing again?
Repeating the inquiry about the source of the partner's joy.
Who put that light back in your eyes?
Reiterating the question about who brought back positivity to the partner.
Who's got you singing again?
Continuing to seek the cause of the partner's renewed happiness.
That thing you had
Referring to the return of a lost quality or attribute in the partner.
You've got it back
Acknowledging the partner's regained positive trait.
Never seen you move so easy
Expressing amazement at the partner's newfound ease.
Never seen you laugh like that
Highlighting the partner's unusual laughter.
Never knew how much I was missing
Expressing realization of personal emotional deficiency before.
