Cry Night After Night
Echoes of Regret: A Soul's Journey Through Life's Choices
Lyrics
I almost hate to go back home
I have reservations about returning home.
Somebody's died every time I've been gone
There has been a death in the family each time I've been away.
I ain't saying I don't want to know
I'm not saying I don't want to know about the deaths.
Just that it brings me down so low
However, the news brings me great sadness.
I was needing more out of life
I felt unfulfilled and desired more from life.
I forgot how to be your wife
I forgot how to fulfill my role as your wife.
Everybody's settlin' for settlin' down
People are settling down in relationships.
Hear the jingle of the chains rattling around
The sound of chains suggests a sense of confinement or restriction.
I never really gave much thought
I didn't give much consideration to certain things.
I'm sure it's my own fault
I acknowledge that it's likely my own fault.
I just figured after years gone by
After many years, I assumed the pain would diminish.
All them tears would have run dry
However, the tears continue to flow.
I go out night after night
I go out regularly during the night.
And I wonder if I'm treating myself right
I question if I am treating myself well.
And I think about the ones I left behind
I reflect on those I left behind.
When I cry night after night
I cry repeatedly during the night.
Here's to the ones who worked all along
A tribute to those who have worked hard enduring loneliness.
Living in fear of being alone
They lived in fear of being alone.
Well I started out early in life
I began my journey early in life.
I made mine and I knew I
I earned my keep, and I understood.
Could never really go back home
I cannot truly return home.
That's the same as being alone
Being unable to return feels like loneliness.
Sure, I could always turn it around
While I could change my situation, it would be self-destructive.
That'd be the same as shooting me down
Turning things around would be as detrimental as harming myself.
