Lyrics
twenty years of trying to forget
Reflecting on two decades of attempting to erase memories.
trying not to cry
Struggling not to show emotions through tears.
as the longest days go by
Enduring the passing of time, especially the challenging moments.
she remembers how they used to be
Recalling how things used to be in the past.
what did he go through
Questioning the hardships he faced during his absence.
she never ever really knew
Acknowledging that she never truly understood his experiences.
in her dreams he comes to life
Finding solace in dreams where he reassures her.
telling her she'll be alright
Receiving comforting words that everything will be fine.
like he did before he went away
Recalling his reassuring words from the past, before his departure.
i leave tonight
Expressing an imminent departure.
you'll be alright
Assuring that she will be fine after the departure.
you'll be alright
Repeating the assurance of her well-being.
it's not goodbye
Rejecting the idea of saying goodbye.
please don't cry
Pleading not to cry in farewell.
i'll be alright
Reassuring that everything will be fine in the end.
after that she lived in fear for him
Living in constant fear for his safety.
till the day she heard
Receiving news that soldiers would return, providing hope.
the soldiers would return
Struggling to overcome the emotional impact of his absence.
always tried hard to get over him
Recalling his words that it's not a final goodbye.
he said it's not goodbye
(Blank line, indicating a moment of contemplation.)
all this time
The passage of time intensifying his presence in her thoughts.
in her head he always stayed alive
Maintaining his vivid presence in her thoughts over the years.
everyday she makes herself look nice for him
Putting effort into looking appealing, keeping hope alive.
she still thinks one day
Maintaining the belief that he will return to her.
he will return to her from far away
Anticipating his return from a distant place.
if he doesn't she knows one day
Accepting the possibility that if he doesn't return, she'll join him eventually.
she'll join him
Considering the idea of being reunited with him in another realm.
she can't forget
Struggling to erase the memories of his departure.
the words he said
Clinging to the words he said before leaving.
before he left
Recalling his parting words, "I'll be alright."
i'll be alright
Reiterating his assurance that everything will be fine.
