One Day
Unveiling Heartbreak: Syleena Johnson's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
I'm not the one to wish bad things
I don't wish bad things on those who wronged me.
On someone who's done me wrong
Expressing a reluctance to harbor ill feelings.
I like to think I can forgive and move on
Believing in the ability to forgive and move forward.
But I've seen it time and time again
Observing a recurring pattern of losing valuable things.
You lose a good thing then you want it back again
Recognizing the desire for something only after it's gone.
But it's too late to want what you reminisce
Realizing it's too late to yearn for the past.
And it was hard to lose you
Expressing the difficulty of losing the person addressed.
Four days I laid with the blues
Describing a period of emotional distress lasting four days.
And every night I cried and prayed
Detailing nightly emotional turmoil through crying and praying.
Hoping that you would see one day
Expressing hope that the addressed person will realize something.
One day, someday, you'll realize too late
Emphasizing a future realization that comes too late.
One day, some day soon
Reiterating the anticipation of a realization in the near future.
One day, someday, you'll realize too late
Repeating the idea of a belated realization.
That I was down for you
Asserting past commitment and support that went unrecognized.
And while my heart still longs for you
Expressing lingering emotional attachment despite separation.
My mind replays what we went through
Reflecting on shared experiences and memories.
I used to love you, really love you
Acknowledging past deep love but indicating a current state of happiness.
But I found myself happier this way and oh one day
Emphasizing personal contentment with the present situation.
One day, someday, you'll realize
Reiterating the expectation of a future realization.
Someday, you'll realize
Stating the inevitability of the realization.
One day, someday, you'll realize
Repeating the anticipation of a belated realization.
Someday, you'll realize
Emphasizing the eventual acknowledgment of past support.
One day, someday, you'll realize
Reiterating the expectation of a future realization.
It'll take you by surprise
Suggesting that the realization will be surprising when it occurs.
Someday, you'll realize
Affirming the inevitability of the realization in the future.
