I'm Still Here, You're Still Gone
Eternal Echoes: Navigating Love's Long Goodbye
Lyrics
So the sun comes up, and you're still gone
Despite the sunrise, you are not present.
The world goes round and life goes on
Life continues, and the world keeps moving.
But life is short and love is long
Life is brief, but love endures.
And when the sun goes down, you're still gone
Even when the sun sets, your absence persists.
Now ain't it strange, how we make things right
Reflecting on the irony of fixing things and expecting immediate change.
We think things change overnight
Believing that circumstances transform rapidly, only to realize otherwise.
But then the sun comes up and the night moves on
Day turns into night, and the cycle continues, with the speaker still alone.
And I'm still here and you're still gone
The persistence of the speaker's presence and the other's absence.
I guess I missed the point, I thought I was doin right
Admitting to misunderstanding, thinking that work was the right focus.
I'd get up early morning and work into the night
A dedication to hard work, starting early and persisting late into the night.
I was always makin' money, I shoulda been makin' love
Prioritizing financial success over emotional connections.
Now the man I'm today knows that money ain't enough
Realizing that material wealth alone is insufficient; love is crucial.
But if I had a chance to give one more thing
If given a chance, the speaker would choose something meaningful over material gifts.
It wouldn't be a rose or a diamond ring
Expressing that a rose or diamond ring doesn't capture the essence of what matters.
'Cause you showed me where I went wrong
Acknowledging that the other person revealed the speaker's mistakes.
'Cause I'm still here and you're still gone
Emphasizing the enduring presence of the speaker and the continued absence of the other.
Hey, I guess I missed the point
Reiterating the realization of misjudgment in priorities.
I thought I was doin right
Recalling the commitment to work rather than cultivating love.
I'd get up early in the monrin' and work into the night
Repetition of the dedication to hard work, emphasizing the misdirection.
I was always makin money, I shoulda been makin love
Continued focus on financial success over emotional fulfillment.
Now the man I'm today knows that money ain't enough
Reiteration that the speaker now understands money's inadequacy in providing happiness.
The sun comes up and you're still gone
Highlighting the persistent absence despite the new day.
The world goes round and life goes on
Life goes on, but the feeling of loss remains.
And you showed me where I went wrong
Acknowledging the guidance received, recognizing personal mistakes.
'Cause I'm still here, you're still gone
Reiterating the enduring presence of the speaker alongside the ongoing absence of the other.
Yes, I'm still here and you're still gone
Affirming the lasting presence of the speaker while the other remains absent.
