Hope It's Something Good
Hope It's Something Good: Unveiling the Bittersweet Journey of Love
Lyrics
There I go trying to keep myself distracted
The speaker acknowledges their attempt to distract themselves from something.
So I make the bed, call a friend, do the dishes
Engaging in routine tasks to keep busy and avoid focusing on a situation.
Should I have known? Should I have seen a sign?
Reflecting on whether there were signs or indications of what was to come.
When did you know? Why'd you pretend to try?
Questioning when the other person realized the truth and why they pretended to make an effort.
If you're gone
Expressing a conditional situation of the person being absent.
I hope it's really worth it
Hoping that the absence or departure of the person is justified or valuable.
Twenty years of hanging on
Referencing the duration of time spent in a relationship or situation.
Now it all adds up to nothin'
Realizing that despite the investment of time, it all leads to nothing.
Gave up on the moon and back
Having given everything and receiving nothing substantial in return.
Thought you'd found a better half
Believing that the person had found someone better suited.
Oh, I hope it's something good
Expressing a wish that the reason for the absence is something positive or worthwhile.
Highs and lows, we fought our wars with silence
Describing the conflicts and disagreements faced silently without confrontation.
I'd have called you out, but baby, I knew you'd deny it
Recognizing a pattern of knowing the truth but expecting denial.
After so long I learned to hold my tongue
Learning to refrain from speaking out after a long period.
And now that you're done I get to write this song
Using the situation as inspiration to create a song now that it's over.
And if you're gone
Reiterating the conditional scenario of the person's absence.
I hope it's really worth it
Expressing a hope that the absence is justified or worthwhile despite the years invested.
Twenty years of hanging on
Reflecting again on the duration of the relationship.
Now it all adds up to nothin'
Realization that the collective time spent leads to a sense of emptiness or nothingness.
Gave up on the moon and back
Feeling of having invested in something (symbolized by the moon) and not receiving the expected return.
Thought you'd found a better half
Believing that the person found someone better suited for them.
Oh, I hope it's something good
Expressing a wish that the reason for the absence is something positive or worthwhile.
If you're gone
Repeating the conditional scenario of the person's absence.
I hope it's really worth it
Hoping for justification or value in the absence despite the lengthy commitment.
Twenty years of hanging on
Reiteration of the duration of the relationship or commitment.
Now it all adds up to nothin'
Realization that the collective investment results in a feeling of emptiness or insignificance.
When you gave up on the moon and back
Expression of having invested deeply (symbolized by the moon) and not receiving adequate returns.
Thought you'd found your better half
Believing that the person found a more suitable partner.
I hope she's something good
Expressing a hope that the new person in the other's life is valuable or positive.
