Lyrics
I remember what I said
The speaker recalls something previously spoken.
Spoken in the dead of night
The statement was made during the night.
We're through
Implying the relationship has ended.
I hear voices in my head
The speaker hears conflicting thoughts.
Saying that you wouldn't want
Voices suggesting the person wouldn't desire something.
To you
Directed towards the person.
So why does it hurt?
Questioning the pain despite initiating the breakup.
I left you first
The speaker took the first step in leaving.
Can't admit it to myself
Unable to acknowledge the truth personally.
But I guess I was wrong
Realizing a mistake in judgment.
Knew the entire time
Had knowledge of the situation throughout.
You are my dearly beloved
Reiterating the person's significance.
You are my dearly beloved
-You are my dearly beloved
-You are looking into my eyes
Recalling the person affirming a strong emotional connection.
Saying that you never felt
Expressing the person's never-before-felt happiness.
This good
Reflecting on the past good feelings.
Now I dream of better times
Dreaming of happier moments.
Wishing I could hold you close
Longing to be physically close again.
Again
Desire to rekindle closeness and intimacy.
So why does it hurt?
Reiterating the confusion about the pain despite initiating separation.
I left you first
The speaker initiated the departure.
Can't admit it to myself
Internal struggle to acknowledge the truth.
But I guess I was wrong
Realization of being mistaken.
Knew the entire time
Already aware of the situation from the start.
So why does it hurt?
Repetition of confusion and realization.
I left you first
-Can't admit it to myself
-But I guess I was wrong
-Knew the entire time
-You are my dearly beloved
Continued affirmation of the person's importance.
You are my dearly beloved
-You are my dearly beloved
-You are my dearly beloved
-You are my dearly beloved
-You are my dearly beloved
Reiterating the significance of the person.
