3 A.M.
Heartbreak Chronicles: 3 A.M. Reflections by Shane Rose
Lyrics
3 A.M. still awake in my bed
Experiencing wakefulness at 3 A.M. in bed
Should have gone to sleep but I'm looking instead
Regretting not going to sleep, choosing to reminisce instead
At all these old texts you'd send
Reflecting on old text messages received
Every night I've read them
Repeatedly reading the messages every night
Over and over I've read them over again
Continuing to dwell on and analyze the texts
I'm still looking for the signs I missed
Searching for missed signs in the communication
All the words you had said
Focusing on the words previously spoken
For any missing pieces that had led you to walk away
Looking for any clues that led to the other person walking away
I've always been too good at giving advice for love
Having a history of offering advice on love but struggling personally
But when I try it for myself I just seem to screw things up again
Expressing a pattern of making mistakes in personal relationships
Did I screw things up again
Questioning if mistakes were made again
I would call you but I know that you won't answer your phone
Avoiding calling due to anticipation of no response
I send a text and a week later when I check I see it lying on opened
Noticing unopened texts after a week of sending
You should've left it unopened
Regretting the act of opening and reading the text
My mind keeps growing bolder with every message I send
Feeling increasingly bold with each message sent
I keep telling myself you'll love me but till then
Hoping for love but acknowledging the uncertainty
I'll keep my heart in the open
Choosing to keep the heart open despite challenges
Leave my heart in the open
Emphasizing the decision to leave the heart open
Let the first months pass now I knew its over
Accepting that the initial months of the relationship are over
Its been six long weeks but I think I'm getting
Indicating a passage of six weeks and a potential healing process
Over you isn't that what you wanted me to do
Questioning if moving on is what the other person wanted
I see your face in people I love
Seeing reminders of the person in others
Gave up the chase think that ship has sunk
Abandoning the pursuit, believing the chance is lost
Took a minute but finally had enough
Taking time to realize the need for detachment
I've always been too good at giving advice for love
Reiterating proficiency in advising others on love
But when I try it for myself I just seem to screw things up again
Admitting personal struggles and repeating mistakes
Guess I screw things up again
Acknowledging a repeated pattern of making errors
I would call you but I know that you won't answer your phone
Avoiding a call, anticipating no response
I send a text and a week later when I check I see it lying on opened
Noticing unopened texts after a week of sending (repeated)
You should've left it unopened
Expressing regret for the opened message (repeated)
My mind keeps growing bolder with every message I send
Feeling bolder with each message sent (repeated)
I keep telling myself you'll love me but till then
Holding onto hope for love despite uncertainties (repeated)
I'll keep my heart in the open
Choosing to keep the heart open despite challenges (repeated)
Leave my heart in the open
Emphasizing the decision to leave the heart open (repeated)
I would call you but I know that you won't answer your phone
Avoiding a call, anticipating no response (repeated)
I send a text and a week later when I check I see it lying on opened
Noticing unopened texts after a week of sending (repeated)
You should have left it unopened
Expressing regret for the opened message (repeated)
My mind keeps growing bolder with every message I send
Feeling bolder with each message sent (repeated)
I keep telling myself you'll love me but till then I'll keep my heart in the open
Holding onto hope for love despite uncertainties (repeated)
Leave my heart in the open
Choosing to keep the heart open despite challenges (repeated)
