Door Away
Longing Beyond the Door: Sympathy Card's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Boxing up albums and pictures of you
Putting away physical reminders of past moments shared with you
The notes that you left me the years we've been through
Preserving the written memories left behind during the time spent together
Watching my words 'cause I am speechless around you
Being cautious with speech due to feeling overwhelmed or awestruck in your presence
The house echoes heavy, I know you see through
Feeling the emptiness in the residence, aware that you perceive the true emotions behind a superficial appearance
My flimsy facade, ‘cause I’m high and I’m blue
Presenting a fragile front, feeling elevated yet melancholic
I’ll say something stupid I’ll regret when I come to
Anticipating saying something foolish that will lead to regret upon reflection
And I’ll never know
Expressing uncertainty about understanding or grasping the reality of the situation
Spare my feelings, is this all for show?
Questioning if actions are motivated by concern for one's emotions or merely a facade
A door away, and I could never have you
Realizing the unattainability of having a closer connection with you, despite being close in proximity
A door away, still thinking of your perfume
Continuously thinking about the lingering scent that reminds of you
I cleaned the room, returned your things, and I’m still hoping its a mistake
Performing actions in hope that the separation is an error or misunderstanding
A door away, and I could never have you
Reiterating the sentiment of being physically close yet emotionally distant from you
You take the office, I’ll take the room
Dividing spaces between work and personal life while attempting to move forward
Keep all the memories I’m over them too
Deciding to retain memories but claiming to be emotionally past them
Still too many things reminding me of you
Feeling overwhelmed by the numerous things that evoke thoughts of you
I’m hiding from pictures, I’m running from views
Avoiding reminders of shared moments and actively trying to escape them
I’m wasting my time here, what else can I do?
Feeling like time spent in the current situation is wasted, unsure of what else to do
I’m sick of wondering if what you say is true
Tired of doubting the veracity of your statements or promises
And I’ll never know
Expressing ongoing uncertainty or lack of closure regarding the situation
Spare my feelings, is this all for show?
Repeating the inquiry about the authenticity of actions and emotions
A door away, and I could never have you
Acknowledging the impossibility of bridging the emotional gap despite physical proximity
A door away, still thinking of your perfume
Continuously reminded of your presence through a lingering fragrance
I cleaned the room, returned your things, and I’m still hoping its a mistake
Remaining hopeful that the separation and return of belongings might be a mistake
A door away, and I could never have you
Reaffirming the feeling of being physically near yet emotionally distant from you
A door away, and I could never have you
Reiterating the impossibility of attaining closer emotional proximity despite physical closeness
A door away, and I could never have you
Emphasizing the ongoing feeling of being physically near yet emotionally far from you
