You Left the Water Running
Love's Departure: Echoes of Abandonment
Lyrics
You left the water running when you left me here behind
You abandoned me and left a metaphorical faucet running.
You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine
Your departure caused emotional pain and tears.
You turned out the light of love
You extinguished the love we shared.
You left with another guy
You left me for someone else.
You turned off all your love for me
You stopped loving me completely.
But you forgot to turn off the cry
Despite ending our relationship, the pain and sorrow persist.
You forgot to turn off the cry
The emotional suffering lingers.
You pulled the shades away down low
You concealed your emotions by lowering the blinds.
And disconnected the telephone
You cut off communication by disconnecting the telephone.
But these tears a running from my eyes
Tears continue to flow uncontrollably from my eyes.
I can't turn them off and on
The emotional pain is constant and cannot be controlled.
No, I can't turn them off and on
The tears cannot be switched on and off at will.
You left the water running when you left me here behind
Reiteration of the emotional impact of your departure.
You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine
Emphasizing the tears flowing as a result of the separation.
You locked the door and left me outside
You shut me out and left me excluded.
And then you threw the key away
You made it difficult for me to return by discarding the key.
But baby, you'll regret, baby you'll be upset
Warning that consequences and regret will follow.
When you get your water bill to pay
A metaphorical reference to the emotional cost of the breakup.
When you get your water bill to pay
Highlighting the repercussions and emotional toll.
You left the water running when you left me here behind
Reiteration of the ongoing emotional distress.
You left the water running, running from these eyes of mine
Underlining the tears as a continuing consequence.
