Never Got Away
Unfulfilled Dance: Trapped in Sadness
Lyrics
We had our last dance at a concert venue
We shared a final dance at a live music venue.
It was open floor, so we cut it up
The venue had an open floor, allowing us to dance freely.
I could feel some distance
I sensed a growing emotional distance between us.
When the chorus hit, I felt you were different
During a pivotal part of the song, I felt a change in you.
Something was missing
There was a noticeable void or emptiness.
We spent so much time
We invested considerable time in our relationship.
Building something
We worked on building something meaningful together.
In retrospect I saw
In hindsight, I realized we never progressed beyond a certain point.
That we never got off the ground
Our connection never truly took off or became successful.
I thought you made me happy
I believed you were the source of my happiness.
I thought I made you happy
I believed I brought happiness to your life.
So we put our reservations in the backseat
We ignored our doubts and chose to focus on the present.
And we tried to stay away from
We attempted to avoid confronting our issues.
I thought you made me happy
I believed you were the source of my happiness.
I thought I made you happy
I believed I brought happiness to your life.
But we never got away
However, our relationship never escaped a state of sadness.
From sad (Never got away, never got away, never got away)
We remained stuck in a state of perpetual sadness.
Sad (Never got away, never got away, never got away)
Reiteration of the lingering sadness in our relationship.
Nobody said a word on the car ride home
Silence prevailed during the journey home.
While I was stuck in thought you turned off the radio
Lost in thought, you turned off the radio.
You looked at me with they eyes of someone
You looked at me with eyes that avoided acknowledging the truth.
Who didn't want to see it
You didn't want to confront the reality, and neither did I.
I didn't want to see it either
We were both unwilling to acknowledge the issues.
We spent so much time
We dedicated a significant amount of time to our relationship.
Building something
We built something meaningful together.
In retrospect I saw
In retrospect, I realized we never progressed beyond a certain point.
That we never got off the ground
Our connection never truly took off or became successful.
I thought you made me happy
I believed you were the source of my happiness.
I thought I made you happy
I believed I brought happiness to your life.
So we put our reservations in the backseat
We ignored our doubts and chose to focus on the present.
And we tried to stay away from
We attempted to avoid confronting our issues.
I thought you made me happy
I believed you were the source of my happiness.
I thought I made you happy
I believed I brought happiness to your life.
But we never got away
However, our relationship never escaped a state of sadness.
From sad (Never got away, never got away, never got away)
We remained stuck in a state of perpetual sadness.
Sad (Never got away, never got away, never got away)
Reiteration of the lingering sadness in our relationship.
I thought you made me happy
I believed you were the source of my happiness.
I thought I made you happy
I believed I brought happiness to your life.
So we put our reservations in the backseat
We ignored our doubts and chose to focus on the present.
And we tried to stay away from
We attempted to avoid confronting our issues.
I thought you made me happy
I believed you were the source of my happiness.
I thought I made you happy
I believed I brought happiness to your life.
But we never got away
However, our relationship never escaped a state of sadness.
From sad (Never got away, never got away, never got away)
We remained stuck in a state of perpetual sadness.
Sad (Never got away, never got away, never got away)
Reiteration of the lingering sadness in our relationship.
