Lyrics
Everybody laughed when I told them
Everybody ridiculed me when I shared my desire
I wanted you, I wanted you
I expressed my longing for you
Everybody grinned they humored me
People smirked, pretending to agree with me
They thought that someone had spiked my tea
They suspected that something was amiss or that I was influenced
Everybody screamed they told me you
There were warnings that having you would be expensive
Would cost the moon, we'll be there soon
Assurances were given that we would achieve great things
Everybody laughed till they were blue
Laughter continued until faces turned blue
They didn't believe my words were true
Disbelief persisted; doubting the sincerity of my words
Everybody laughed but you
However, your reaction was different – you did not laugh
It's easy to lose touch with all the friends
It's easy to lose connections with friends over time
You like so much or liked so much
Especially those you used to like
Everybody laughed they couldn't take me seriously
Mockery persisted, making it difficult for others to take me seriously
Abandoned me
I was left alone, abandoned by those who laughed
Sometimes I would read of things they'd done in magazines
Reading about their achievements in magazines intensified the isolation
They made the scene
They became the center of attention
Everybody left with such important things to do
Everyone departed, engrossed in supposedly important pursuits
But I'm not blue
Despite the solitude, I remained resilient
Everybody left but you
Yet, you stayed when everyone else left
Everybody left but you
Your loyalty endured despite the exodus
Many years have passed
Many years passed, witnessing changes and losses
And some have fallen by the way I heard them say
Some individuals faded away, as I overheard people saying
Everybody dreamed but those who fell
Everyone had aspirations, but those who failed are now at rest
Are sleeping now, they're sleeping now
They are in a state of slumber, having given up on their dreams
Everybody climbed like ivy to the top most branch
Everyone pursued success like climbing ivy to the highest point
It was their chance
Seizing an opportunity to make it to the top
Everybody grasped till they were through
Everyone held on until they reached the end
It's all they thought that they could do
It was their only perceived course of action
Cause everybody fell
Despite everyone falling, you remained steadfast
Everybody fell
The collective failure did not include you
Everybody fell but you
While everyone else succumbed, you stood resilient
