Lyrics
You gave me everything
You provided me with everything I needed or desired.
From laughter to pain
This encompasses experiences ranging from joy to sorrow.
To frangipani rings
Refers to frangipani rings, which may symbolize beauty or commitment.
So I can't complain
I have no reason to complain because of the generosity or support you've shown.
Hope you know it kills me to say
Expressing difficulty in admitting something painful.
You gave me everything
Reiteration of gratitude for the abundance of support or possessions.
Short of love
An acknowledgment that love is lacking in the relationship.
We watched fireflies once
Recalling a shared moment of watching fireflies together.
Remember in the rain
Recollection of a specific memory in the rain.
Did our little back and forth dance
Describing a dance or interaction in an unpredictable or unfamiliar situation.
Walking on uncharted terrain
Referencing the challenges faced together in unexplored territory.
Still I feel the need, indeed, to say
Despite the positive aspects, there is a need to communicate something.
You give me everything
Reiteration of receiving abundant support or possessions.
Short of love
Highlighting the absence of love in the given support.
Can't you see
An appeal to the other person's awareness or understanding.
What you've always meant to me
Asking the person to recognize the significance of their presence.
All the pain and misery
Acknowledging past difficulties that fade away in the company of the person.
I forget when it's just you and me eternally
Despite challenges, moments with the person are cherished eternally.
But we both know that that will never be
Realization that a lasting love between both individuals is unlikely.
Because
Transition to a crucial point or reason.
I give you all my heart
Expressing a commitment to giving one's heart entirely.
Day after day after day
Emphasizing the consistency of giving over multiple days.
Be your personal human feelings jar
Offering oneself as a receptacle for the other person's emotions.
And you threw me away
A painful realization of being rejected or discarded.
So I don't forget I'll always have to say
Expressing the need to remember the rejection.
You will always give me everything
Assurance that the person will continue providing everything but love.
But never really anything
Highlighting a discrepancy between abundant provision and a lack of genuine emotional connection.
You'll always give me everything
Reiteration of the pattern of providing everything except love.
But love
Emphasizing the absence of love in the person's offerings.
