The Way We Used to Be
Echoes of Love Lost: Sarey Savy's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
You always told me that you loved me but was it sincere
You questioned the sincerity of the love professed to you despite giving your all.
Cause I gave you everything my dear
You dedicated yourself entirely, but the reciprocation was lacking.
But you gave me nothing, yeah you gave me nothing no
Emphasizes the absence of reciprocation, a sense of emptiness from the other person.
When I was crying you were never there to hold to my hand
In times of distress, the support you expected was absent, and you felt alone.
There was no light, I drowned in darkness
Expressing a period of darkness, both emotionally and metaphorically.
Now I'm blinded with fear, now I'm blinded with fear
The emotional aftermath has left you feeling fearful and lost.
You always came, at the strike of midnight, when I was alone, for those two whole months
The person was inconsistent, appearing only when convenient, especially during lonely moments.
Don't remember on that New Years Day, by the Space Needle, saying""baby I love you""
Recalling a specific moment of disappointment when promises made were not kept.
Now you give up on me, never do I think you would let me down
A realization that the person has given up on the relationship, contrary to expectations.
Let me down
Reiterating the feeling of being let down by the unexpected abandonment.
I miss the way, we used to be
Expressing a longing for the past, a time when the relationship was fulfilling.
The way we touched, the way we kissed
Nostalgia for the physical and emotional closeness shared in the past.
I reminisce, and it hurts to much
Reflecting on past moments brings pain due to the contrast with the present reality.
But I'm moving on, without your love
Despite the pain, a decision to move forward without the love that once existed.
I miss the way, we used to be
Repeating the desire for the return of the past relationship.
The way we touched, the way we kissed
Reiterating the nostalgia for physical and emotional closeness.
I reminisce, and it hurts to much
Continued pain from reminiscing about a love that is no longer present.
But I'm moving on, without your love
Despite the pain, a commitment to move on without the previous love.
Trying not to think about the things you've told me
An attempt to avoid dwelling on hurtful statements previously made by the person.
Like when you said""you'll never leave""
Recalling a promise made by the person about never leaving, now questioning its validity.
Baby where you at now, tell me where you at now
Seeking the current whereabouts of the person who made promises of enduring commitment.
Every single little teardrop that I shared with you
Questioning if the person truly empathized with the emotional pain shared.
Did you really feel my pain?
Doubting the depth of the person's understanding of your emotional struggles.
I showed my insecurities, you never gave security no
Expressing vulnerability and the lack of reassurance from the person.
You always came, at the strike of midnight, when I was alone, for those two whole months
Repetition of the person's inconsistent presence during lonely times.
Don't remember on that New Years Day, by the Space Needle, saying""baby I love you""
Recollection of a specific disappointing moment on New Year's Day.
Now you give up on me, never do I think you would let me down
Reiteration of the unexpected abandonment, emphasizing the feeling of being let down.
Let me down
Reaffirmation of the emotional impact of being let down by the person.
I miss the way, we used to be
Expressing a persistent longing for the past and the way things used to be.
The way we touched, the way we kissed
Nostalgia for the physical and emotional intimacy shared in the past.
I reminisce, and it hurts to much
Continued pain from reminiscing about a love that is no longer present.
But I'm moving on, without your love
Despite the pain, a decision to move forward without the love that once existed.
I miss the way, we used to be
Repeating the desire for the return of the past relationship.
The way we touched, the way we kissed
Reiterating the nostalgia for physical and emotional closeness.
I reminisce, and it hurts to much
Continued pain from reminiscing about a love that is no longer present.
But I'm moving on, without your love
Despite the pain, a commitment to move on without the previous love.
