15 Years
15 Years of Love's Unspoken Pain
Lyrics
Oh I didn't know
Expressing a lack of awareness or understanding.
how all these years I've been so lonley, tho
Reflecting on a long period of feeling lonely despite knowing someone cared.
I knew you cared
Acknowledging that the person cared, but still feeling miserable.
but still I found myself so miserable
Despite the care received, the speaker felt unhappy and had to leave.
I had to go
The decision to leave or end a situation.
and I tried my best
Putting in effort to learn and improve.
to learn
The focus on personal growth and learning.
to be alone
Learning to be comfortable alone.
well, I was wrong
Realizing that being alone was a mistake.
Cause I know I want you
Expressing a desire or realization of wanting the person back.
That's what I did, all this time
Confessing that all the time was spent wanting the person.
I do
Affirming the current desire for the person.
That's what I did, all my life
Highlighting a consistent theme of wanting the person throughout life.
Oh, we couldn't see
Reflecting on a past encounter that occurred before both were ready.
We've met before we were both ready
Expressing a current need to communicate that pain is unnecessary.
and now I feel the need
Feeling compelled to express the idea that they don't have to suffer.
to tell you that we don't have to bleed
Suggesting that bleeding (suffering) is avoidable in the relationship.
why do we wait
Questioning the rationale behind waiting in the relationship.
I don't see sense in that
Expressing a lack of understanding or sense in waiting.
or in punishing ourselves
Rejecting the idea of self-punishment in the relationship.
cause we know
Acknowledging knowledge of the situation.
I know
Personal acknowledgment of understanding.
Cause I know I want you
Reiteration of the desire for the person.
That's what I did, all this time
Confirmation that wanting the person has been a consistent theme.
I do
Affirming the current desire for the person.
That's what I did, all my life
Emphasizing a persistent theme of wanting the person throughout life.
Now you tell me that you need to leave
Learning about the person's need to leave despite professing love.
tho you say you do love me
The confusion arising from the conflicting statements.
and I'm so confused
Expressing a desire not to follow a path of separation.
yeah you say we need to be apart
Acknowledging the need for separation to potentially start anew.
to maybe someday have a start
Hope for a new beginning after the period of separation.
of something new
Expressing a reluctance or disagreement with the proposed separation.
That's not what I wanna do
Rejecting the idea of following through with the proposed separation.
Not what I did
Highlighting a deviation from the proposed course of action.
all this time
Emphasizing a consistent theme of wanting the person throughout life.
