The Man That Got Away
Love's Bitter Symphony: The Man That Got Away
Lyrics
The night is bitter,
The night is filled with bitterness and sorrow.
The stars have lost their glitter;
The stars no longer shine brightly or bring joy.
The winds grow colder
The winds are becoming colder, signifying a change in emotions.
And suddenly you're older
Suddenly, the person feels older, perhaps due to emotional distress.
And all because of the man that got away.
All these changes are attributed to the departure of a significant person.
No more his eager call,
No more enthusiastic calls from the departed person.
The writing's on the wall;
Indications and warnings are evident, suggesting a breakup.
The dreams you dreamed have all
The dreams once envisioned have all gone off course.
Gone astray.
They have strayed and are now lost.
The man that won you
The person who initially won your heart has left and caused harm.
Has gone off and undone you.
The achievements and positive moments have come to a disappointing end.
That great beginning
A promising start has led to a sorrowful conclusion.
Has seen the final inning.
Uncertainty about what went wrong, as if it's a bewildering game.
Don't know what happened. It's all a crazy game!
No more that all-time thrill,
Having endured difficulties and hardships.
For you've been through the mill
No new love will be as fulfilling or meaningful.
And never a new love will
The aftermath of the previous love lingers.
Be the same.
Good riddance, good-bye!
Recognizing the person's tricks and deceitful actions.
Ev'ry trick of his you're on to.
Despite understanding, there is a lingering question about the person's whereabouts.
But, fools will be fools
Foolish behavior persists, and some people continue to be naive.
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher,
The loneliness and difficulties intensify.
It's lonelier and tougher.
Despite the pain, there is a flicker of hope for a better tomorrow.
With hope you burn up
Anticipating the person's return, adding to the emotional turmoil.
Tomorrow he may turn up.
The emotional struggle persists throughout the day and night.
There's just no letup the live-long night and day!
Ever since this world began
Nothing is sadder than a loyal woman searching for the departed man.
There is nothing sadder than
A poignant realization of the loneliness and heartbreak endured.
A one-man woman looking for
A woman dedicated to one man, seeking the one who left her.
The man that got away
The man that got away.
The lingering pain and impact of the man who left remain.
