Deadline
Love's Deadline: Bittersweet Farewell in Sarah Gargano's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Our love came with a deadline
The relationship had a predetermined endpoint.
Different states once fall arrived
The lovers were in different locations as fall approached.
But our time ran out too soon
Their time together ended prematurely.
Still so much we wanted to do
Unfulfilled desires and plans remain due to the premature ending.
Now I'm alone in my bedroom
The narrator is now alone in their bedroom.
Wondering should I text you
Contemplating whether to reach out to the ex-partner.
Sad and lonely and empty
Feelings of sadness, loneliness, and emptiness without the partner.
Without your arms wrapped around me
Expressing the absence of the partner's comforting embrace.
We were just like a movie
Their relationship resembled a movie.
At goodbye rain started pouring
Rainfall coincided with their goodbye moment.
Standing at the subway station
Reflecting on parting at a subway station.
These memories are all I have left
Memories of the past are all that remain.
And I wish you the best
Wishing the best for the ex-partner.
Somehow reading your letter
Finding solace in reading a letter from the ex-partner.
Made me feel so much better
The letter provides emotional relief.
Dreaded this day like no other
Dreading the breakup day intensely.
9 months, I love you forever
Expressing a commitment to love lasting for nine months.
Stroking my salt water stained cheeks
Tears stain the narrator's face due to emotional distress.
From day one, said you knew you loved me
Partner claimed to have known they loved the narrator since day one.
But now we're starting new chapters
Both are moving on to new phases in life.
Letting go of our ever after
Letting go of the envisioned happily ever after.
We were just like a movie
Their relationship resembled a movie (repeated).
At goodbye rain started pouring
Rainfall coincided with their goodbye moment (repeated).
Standing at the subway station
Reflecting on parting at a subway station (repeated).
These memories are all I have left
Memories of the past are all that remain (repeated).
And now I
Beginning to express personal emotions.
Miss you
Expressing the feeling of missing the ex-partner.
It's so undeniable
The undeniable nature of the narrator's feelings.
All your kisses
Reflecting on the memorable kisses shared.
And the way that you smile
Appreciating the ex-partner's smile.
And you listen
Highlighting the ex-partner's attentive listening.
It makes me feel worthwhile
Feeling valued and significant due to the ex-partner's actions.
But I'm picking
Choosing personal growth and future over the past relationship.
My future over what we had
Decision to prioritize individual development over past love.
We were just like a movie
Their relationship resembled a movie (repeated).
At goodbye rain started pouring
Rainfall coincided with their goodbye moment (repeated).
We were just like a movie
Their relationship resembled a movie (repeated).
At goodbye rain started pouring
Rainfall coincided with their goodbye moment (repeated).
Standing at the subway station
Reflecting on parting at a subway station (repeated).
These memories are all I have left
Memories of the past are all that remain (repeated).
And I wish you the best
Wishing the best for the ex-partner (repeated).
