Such A Shame
Lost Love's Echo: A Tale of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
The heat was on
The situation or pressure intensified.
But you were cold
You appeared emotionally distant or unresponsive.
Went against what you were sold
Acted contrary to what you were promised or believed.
Standing by your love so old
Stood by a love that has endured for a long time.
Afraid if anything was told
Fearful of the consequences if the truth were revealed.
I said "Your home is in your heart"
I expressed that one's true home is within their heart.
You slowly moved our hands apart
You gradually separated our hands.
I kissed the standard and walked out
I embraced the norm or standard and left.
Then I watched you drive away
Witnessed you driving away.
Take with you that smile away
Asked you to take that happy demeanor with you.
Sit and wonder who's to blame
Contemplated who is responsible for the situation.
Wasted all this time
Time spent in vain, regrettable.
Such a shame
Expressed disappointment or regret, describing it as a shame.
A memory of ocean light
A recollection of a bright or positive moment.
All mixed up on bitter wine
Feeling confused and affected by a bitter experience.
My shadow laughs at lack of spine
My inner self mocks the lack of courage or determination.
I can't believe my eyes
Expressing disbelief at what is seen.
So then I drop out
Decided to withdraw or disengage from a situation.
I'm spinning around
Experiencing a disorienting or spinning sensation.
With colored pills that pull the feel away
Using medication to numb or distance oneself from emotions.
I tippy toe as I walk alone on a dream
Walking cautiously on a dream, being careful.
But I'm awoken by what games were played
Awakened by the realization of deceit or manipulation.
Then I watched you drive away
Observed you leaving.
Take with you that smile away
Requested you to take your joy with you.
Sit and wonder who's to blame
Reflecting on who is at fault for the predicament.
Wasted all this time
Time spent unwisely or without purpose.
Such a shame
Expressing disappointment or regret, describing it as a shame (repeated).
I saw you
Noticed your presence.
Did you see me?
Inquired if you noticed my presence.
I'm still lost on my way
Feeling lost and uncertain on my journey.
Eighteen flowers and I'm back again
A metaphorical reference to a period of growth or change.
Eighteen flowers and I'm back again
Repeating the idea of growth or transformation (repeated).
Then I watched you drive away
Witnessed you driving away (repeated).
Take with you that smile away
Requested you to take your joy with you (repeated).
Sit and wonder who's to blame
Reflecting on who is at fault for the predicament (repeated).
Wasted all this time
Time spent unwisely or without purpose (repeated).
Such a shame
Expressing disappointment or regret, describing it as a shame (repeated).
