Turn
Fading Light of Love: Rich Freeth's Reflection on Heartbreak
Lyrics
Cannot believe what I see
Expressing disbelief at something observed
She's holding someones hand
Noting the person of interest holding someone else's hand
That was me yesterday
Reflecting on a recent past when the speaker was in that position
Try to hide, pride and deny
Attempting to conceal emotions like pride and denying the impact of the relationship
How much you meant to me
Admitting the significant meaning the person held in the speaker's life
When you try to talk to me
Describing a situation where communication is challenging
Not the words
Stating that it's not about the words spoken
Not you its me
Using the common phrase "It's not you, it's me" as a form of separation
Tried my best for you
Expressing efforts made for the relationship
Carried a torch for you
Indicating a long-lasting flame carried for the person
Funny how the light so quickly fades away
Noting the fleeting nature of positive experiences
Funny how things turn
Reflecting on the unpredictable twists in life
So I forget how blind I get
Forgetting the lessons learned and making the same mistakes
I get how its begun
Acknowledging the start of a new phase
He could be anyone
Speculating on the possibility of anyone taking the person's place
Forget the words you said to me
Choosing to forget the words previously spoken
Won't try to understand why you've forgotten me
Not attempting to understand the reasons behind being forgotten
Funny how the light so quickly fades away
Reiterating the transient nature of positive experiences
Funny how things turn
Highlighting the unpredictability of life events
Funny how the light so quickly fades away
Repeating the idea of fading light and turning events
Funny how things turn
Reemphasizing the unpredictable nature of life
Forget, I try
Expressing efforts to forget
Tried to deny
Trying to deny emotions
But I can't lie to myself
Acknowledging the inability to lie to oneself
My soul just didn't turn
Describing a turning point in the speaker's soul
To hate and pain
Referring to negative emotions like hate and pain
Humans make mistakes
Acknowledging human fallibility
I couldn't hate you for the human that you are
Expressing the difficulty in hating the person for being human
Funny how the light so quickly fades away
Repeating the idea of fading light and turning events
Funny how things turn
Reflecting on the unpredictability of life
Funny how the love so quickly fades away
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of love
Funny how things turn
Reiterating the unpredictable twists in life
Funny how your face so quickly fades away
Noting the fading image of the person
Funny how things turn
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life
Funny how the light so quickly fades away
Repeating the idea of fading light and turning events
Funny how things turn
Highlighting the unpredictable twists in life
