That's Life
Embracing Life's Highs and Lows: Sloane Skylar's Reflections
Lyrics
Don’t tell me you love me
Expression of distrust or disbelief in someone's declaration of love
When you’re letting go of me
Feeling abandoned or released by the person who professed love
Sent me back home
Returned home, possibly emotionally or physically after a separation or breakup
No time for recovery
No time allowed for emotional healing or recuperation
Red eyes on the red eye
Eyes showing signs of crying or exhaustion, possibly from tears during a flight
No sleep through the whole flight
Inability to sleep throughout the entire flight due to distress or thoughts
Replaying all the thoughts in my mind
Replaying memories or situations in the mind related to the breakup or separation
All my friends tellin' me that I’ll be fine
Friends reassuring the person that things will improve
Gave you my heart
Gave their heart, but now it feels emotionally dead or unresponsive
Now it’s flat lined
Emotional state after giving one's heart; now feeling emotionally flatlined or devoid of feelings
And now I feel stupid
Feeling foolish for believing things would be different or for trusting the other person
Didn't think you would do this
Surprised by the actions of the person, didn't anticipate the breakup or separation
Thought that we had it
Believed the relationship was strong or stable, but it turns out it wasn't
I guess I’m just foolish
Reflecting on feeling foolish for believing in the relationship
I guess you outgrew this
Realization that the other person has moved on while the singer is struggling to do the same
Two kids in love
Two young individuals in love, yet destined to lose their relationship
We were destined to lose it
Feeling confused about the situation and its implications
This shit's confusin'
Still recovering from emotional wounds caused by the breakup
Still healing my bruises
Despite the breakup, refusing to answer the call from the ex-partner
Break up, hit me up
Refusing to engage with the ex-partner even though they attempt to contact
Get your call, I refuse it
-Yeah I refuse it
-I guess that’s life
Reiteration of the acceptance of life's ups and downs, struggles with goodbyes, and attempting to cope with the pain of separation through drying one's tears
The lows and highs
-I hate goodbyes
-But I dry my eyes
-I guess that’s life
-The lows and highs
-I hate goodbyes
-But I dry my eyes
-Are you happy without me?
-She giving what you need?
-I don’t wanna know
-Cause it just might kill me
-Woke up with a new chick
-Still in my dreams frequent
-Yeah, nothing feels the same way we did
-Haven’t talked since I called you baby
-Crossing my mind on the daily
-No begging, no pleading
-Findin' what I’m needing
-And trying to move on
-No, that shit ain’t easy
-Thrown into the deep end
-Finding completion
-Focus on myself
-And what I’m achieving
-Things I believe in
-In touch with my weakness
-First cut is the deepest
-Won’t let it defeat me
-Won’t let it defeat me
-I guess that’s life
-The lows and highs
-I hate goodbyes
-But I dry my eyes
-I guess that’s life
-The lows and highs
-I hate goodbyes
-But I dry my eyes
