Another Shade of Blue
Echoes of Love Lost: Another Shade of Blue by Smith & Brewer
Lyrics
The last time that we said goodbye is etched forever on my mind
The memory of our last farewell is permanently imprinted in my mind.
Because you don’t forget the things that break your heart
Painful experiences, like our goodbye, stay with you and are hard to forget.
And I still don’t understand it, and I don’t know if you planned it
I am still perplexed by the breakup, unsure if it was intentional on your part.
And I don’t know how we grew so far apart
Our emotional distance is a mystery, and I don't understand how it happened.
It used to be that when I had you, there was nothing we could do
When we were together, nothing else mattered; we only desired each other.
But want to be together all the time
However, changes occurred, and you started altering things, indicating trouble.
But when things started changing, and you started rearranging
I sensed trouble when you began rearranging aspects of our relationship.
I knew that I was in the firing line
I realized I was in a vulnerable position or at risk of losing you.
Time has a way of reminding you of things you can’t undo
Time has a way of reminding us about irreversible events.
And the past is always painted black and white
The past is often viewed in stark contrasts, simplifying it into right and wrong.
Today’s just another shade of blue
Today is just another day filled with sadness and emotional turmoil.
The first time that we said hello is re-run like a TV show
The initial meeting is replayed in my mind like a recurring television episode.
That keeps me up when it comes on late at night
The memory of our first hello keeps me awake during late-night reflections.
Even though I know the ending, I still like pretending
Despite knowing the outcome, I find solace in imagining a different result.
That things might turn out differently this time
I continue with my daily routine, pretending it's like any other day.
So I go about my day just like it’s any other day
Every day seems ordinary now, in contrast to the past.
Which in a way I guess is what they all are now
By nightfall, I ensure I'm too exhausted to cry as I try to sleep.
By the time I try to sleep I’ve made sure I’m too tired to weep
I recognize that no amount of tears will alter the unchangeable past.
'Cause I know it’ll never change things anyhow
Time reinforces the inability to undo certain actions and events.
Time has a way of reminding you of things you can’t undo
The past is often seen in extremes, with no room for gray areas.
And the past is always painted black and white
Today is just another day tainted with a feeling of melancholy.
Today’s just another shade of blue
Time continually reminds us of irreversible actions and their consequences.
Time has a way of reminding you of things you can’t undo
The past is viewed in stark contrasts, lacking shades of nuance.
And the past is always painted black and white
Today is just another day colored by sadness and reflection.
Today’s just another shade of blue
The past, seen in absolutes, influences the present emotional state.
And the past is always painted black and white
Reiterating that the past is often perceived as right or wrong.
Today’s just another shade of blue
Today is just another day marked by feelings of sadness and reflection.
