Lyrics
How could you?
Questioning the actions or choices made
You are the river
Metaphorical reference to a constant, flowing presence
Pour out of this life
Transitioning out of existence or departing life
How could you?
Repetition of the initial question, expressing disbelief or pain
You are the morning bird
Symbolic of someone who brings vitality and renewal
Who sang me into life every day
Crediting someone for giving life meaning and purpose
Fly away
Desire or need to depart or escape
You are the blood of me
Representation of a vital part of oneself
The harvest of my dreams
Significant outcomes or achievements intimately connected to oneself
There's nowhere I can find peace
Feeling unable to find tranquility or solace
And the silence won't cease
Emphasizing persistent absence of sound or peace
Nothing's quite how it seems
Reality doesn't match appearances or expectations
The ghost of my joy
The memory of happiness or contentment haunting the present
Won't let me be
Referencing an inability to move beyond past happiness
If you set me free, I will not run
Requesting to be released without intending to flee
I will not run
Reaffirmation of not wanting to escape if given freedom
I will not run
Reiteration of the commitment to stay and face the situation
