So Much
Foolish Departure: Echoes of Heartbreak in 'So Much'
Lyrics
In time she might see how foolish she was for leaving me
In time, she may realize her mistake in leaving me.
Might take a bruise or two before she longs for my abuse
She might experience challenges before regretting the absence of my presence.
Running away was easy, I guess, but you left my mind a sloppy mess
Leaving was easy for her, but it left my thoughts in disarray.
Was it so hard to talk about the stuff that I could not figure out?
Questioning if discussing unresolved issues was difficult for her.
Woe, woe is me, she took her things and she ran away, woe, woe is me (yea yea yea!)
Expressing sorrow over her departure, emphasizing the emotional impact.
She says she's feeling so much better
She claims to be in a much better emotional state now.
She says the air tastes so much sweeter since she left me
She asserts that life is more enjoyable since leaving the relationship.
Sometime I might suspect that the cause couldn't be as bad as the effect
Speculating that the cause of the breakup may not have been as severe as its consequences.
Crazy girls which I seem to collect and scribble down notes like a science project
Reflecting on past relationships with unconventional or unpredictable women.
Your argument has no defense, its' a big fat lie built on false pretense
Discrediting an argument as a dishonest fabrication.
But now I roam from home to work singing songs about you and feeling like a jerk
Narrating the singer's current state of wandering and regretful songwriting.
Woe, woe is me, she took her things and she ran away, woe, woe is me (yea yea yea!)
Reiterating the emotional pain of her departure.
She says she's feeling so much better (so much better)
She claims to be emotionally improved since the breakup.
She says the air tastes so much sweeter (so much sweeter) since she left me
She believes life is more pleasant without the singer.
Since she left me, since she left me, since she left me...
Repeating the impact of her leaving on the singer.
In time she might see how foolish she was for leaving me
A repetition of the hope that she will realize her mistake over time.
Might take a bruise or two before she longs for my abuse
Emphasizing that she may need to face difficulties before missing the singer's presence.
Running away was easy, I guess, but you left my chest a hollowed out mess
Highlighting the emotional toll on the singer's chest due to her departure.
Was it so hard to talk about the stuff that I couldn't figure out?
Reiterating the question about the difficulty of discussing unresolved issues.
