Lonely Hours
Embracing Solitude: Navigating Love's Absence
Lyrics
When you must do without him,
Expressing the experience of being without a significant person.
But your dreams are still about him,
Despite the separation, thoughts and dreams are still focused on that person.
You'll begin the lonely hours.
Describing the initiation of a period of solitude and emotional isolation.
When your romance is ending,
Acknowledging the conclusion of a romantic relationship.
And your heart has stopped pretending,
Admitting that the heart can no longer pretend that everything is okay.
You are in the lonely hours.
Stating that the individual is now entering a phase of loneliness.
Oh how slow the moments go,
Highlighting the perceived slowness of time during emotional distress.
When you're love disappears.
Expressing the feeling of losing love and its impact on the perception of time.
Oh how slow the moments go,
Reiterating the prolonged experience of time during heartbreak.
Every minute is a thousand years.
Emphasizing the extreme emotional intensity, where each minute feels like a significant span.
You'll say he doesn't want you,
Conveying the internal conflict where one denies the desire for the absent person.
But his lips will stay to haunt you,
Suggesting that the memories, particularly the kisses, linger and affect the person.
When you know the lonely hours.
Revisiting the theme of experiencing loneliness after acknowledging the absence of the loved one.
You'll swear that you can hear him,
Describing a sense of auditory illusion, hearing the absent person even when physically distant.
Even though you're nowhere near him,
Highlighting the emotional impact that can transcend physical proximity.
When you know the lonely hours,
Reaffirming the experience of loneliness despite the absence of the loved one.
And yet you know,
Acknowledging the paradoxical nature of love, which both hurts and heals.
That only love can make your broken heart mend.
Emphasizing that only love has the power to mend a broken heart.
Cause love began it all,
Attributing the beginning of emotional experiences to love.
And only love can end the lonely hours.
Reiterating the idea that only love can bring an end to the feelings of loneliness.
