Something Blue
Unveiling Love's Evolution
Lyrics
Five days until we do it all
Countdown to a significant event or decision.
You're not convinced you can go through it all
Doubts about going through with the event.
So very careful not to burden me
Cautious not to be a burden in the relationship.
Leaving me happy with my certainty
Feeling content with certainty in the relationship.
And invitations go to all our friends
Invitations sent to friends for the upcoming event.
And all your joy is all pretend
Suspecting that partner's happiness is not genuine.
Pick the location and we choose the date
Planning details for the event, choosing location and date.
Reception band, the price per plate
Considering practical aspects like reception and cost.
And, all this time, you're having second thoughts for separate lives and separate plots
Partner having second thoughts about the relationship.
Too many issues that we can't resolve
Issues in the relationship seem insurmountable.
It's far too much
Feeling overwhelmed and deciding to call off the event.
You call it off
Decision to end the relationship.
I'm ready to throw away all of these things I've saved for you
Willing to let go of possessions saved for the partner.
I'm ready to sacrifice something old, something loaned, something new
Ready to make sacrifices for the relationship.
Five months have passed and I'm a mess
Time has passed, and the speaker is in a troubled state.
You're with someone better if I had to guess
Suspecting the ex-partner is with someone better.
What mattered most is now a stupid thing
Realizing what once mattered now seems insignificant.
And I still can't take off this stupid ring
Struggling to remove a symbolic ring from the past.
And though I felt like it was meant to be
Thought it was meant to be, but hindsight reveals mistakes.
So positive; I couldn't see
Blinded by positivity and unable to see the truth.
I'm shedding everything and I'm okay
Letting go of the past and embracing a new beginning.
A brand new me for a brand new day
Aiming for a fresh start and a transformed self.
I'm ready to throw away all of these things I've saved for you
Willing to discard possessions saved for the ex-partner.
And I'm ready to sacrifice something old, something loaned, something new
Open to sacrificing for the sake of the relationship.
And the third time feels like the second time
Reflecting on the cyclic nature of emotions.
And the second time feels like the first time
Emotions repeating, making it challenging to move on.
In five years, he'll buy you something wooden while my fears will keep me made of stone
Imagining a future where the ex-partner receives symbolic gifts.
Maybe I'll throw out five things I should have kept, but couldn't
Regretting the disposal of important things.
Leave them lying on the grass outside our home
Leaving reminders of regrets outside the home.
And now I hardly can remember you
Struggling to remember the details of the past relationship.
I've built a life with someone new
Building a new life with someone else.
I'm shedding everything and I'm okay
Letting go of the past and embracing change.
A brand new me for a brand new day
Continuing the journey with a fresh perspective.
I'm ready to throw away all of these things I've saved for you
Willing to discard possessions and make sacrifices for personal growth.
And I'm ready to sacrifice something old, something loaned, something new
Reiterating readiness to sacrifice for a new beginning.
I'm ready to eliminate all of these things I've saved for you
Expressing readiness to eliminate possessions saved for the ex-partner.
And I've only this offering of something old, something loaned, something new
Offering symbolic items for a fresh start.
Something old, something loaned, something blue
Symbolizing the inclusion of something "blue" in the offering.
