The Heart That Time Forgot
Time's Embrace: A Heart Forgotten in Love's Echo
Lyrics
Just when I feel like a night on the town
Expressing a desire for a night out in town.
Old friends haven't seen you around and you seem out of my life
Noticing the absence of old friends and feeling like the person has been absent from their life.
And you walk in on the arm of the new man you found
Encountering the person with a new partner.
There's no way that I can slip out, except out of my mind
Feeling trapped in the situation, unable to escape except through losing one's mental composure.
They say time can heal every broken heart
Referencing the common belief that time can heal emotional wounds.
Well, time's had time enough to do it's part
Acknowledging that enough time has passed, as time is expected to contribute to healing.
By now I should be over you but I'm not
Expressing surprise and disappointment at not being over the person despite the expected healing time.
I'm the man with the heart that time forgot
Identifying oneself as someone whose heart hasn't healed despite the passage of time.
I look away but clear 'cross this loud smoky room
Trying to avoid looking at the person across the room.
I swear I can smell your perfume just like rain on the wind
Sensing the person's presence through a familiar scent, evoking emotions like rain on the wind.
Your voice plays in my heart like an old favorite tune
Emphasizing the enduring impact of the person's voice, comparing it to a beloved old song.
No matter how long it's too soon to see you again
Expressing that no amount of time is enough to make seeing the person again feel acceptable.
They say time can heal every broken heart
Reiterating the idea that time is supposed to heal emotional wounds.
Well, time's had time enough to do it's part
Stressing that ample time has passed for healing to occur.
By now I should be over you but I'm not
Repeating the surprise and disappointment at not being over the person.
I'm the man with the heart that time forgot
Reaffirming the identity as someone with an unhealed heart despite the expected passage of time.
I'm the man with the heart that time forgot
Restating the identity as the person with a heart that time has not healed.
