I Wrote Holden Caulfield
Finding Redemption: Unveiling Life's Redemption in 'I Wrote Holden Caulfield'
Lyrics
I loved you for the minute
I felt affection for you briefly
When you decided to tell me the truth
When you chose to be honest with me
I heard you and that night I cried for you
I listened to you, and that night I cried for you
I know that you're alone just like everyone else in the world
I understand that you experience loneliness, a universal feeling
Don't tell me that things don't get better
Don't deny that life can improve
'Cause sometimes they do
Because sometimes, indeed, it does
Sometimes they do and I know they will for you
There are moments of improvement, and I believe they will come for you
The days are getting shorter
The duration of days is decreasing
And you're forgetting the things you just said
You're losing recollection of your recent statements
I'm hoping that you'll move ahead
I hope you progress and move forward
I wonder if you'll ever come to realize what I always knew
I ponder if you'll ever grasp what I always understood
I wrote Holden Caulfield and so did you
Both you and I have expressed ourselves like Holden Caulfield
I want to know if you want to wake up
I want to understand if you desire to change your current state
I want to know when you'll stop dying
I want to know when you'll stop deteriorating due to your actions
For what you've done
Stop lamenting for the deeds you've committed
Stop crying for what you've done
Cease crying over the consequences of your actions
It's only the past
The past is just history
It's only life
Life is transient and fleeting
What have you done that's so bad
Reflect on what wrongs you committed that are truly significant
It's only life so don't waste time
Life is short, so don't waste time dwelling on it
Why don't you stop crying
Why continue shedding tears
For what's done for what is done
For actions that are irreversible, for what's done
