Make It Right
Finding Redemption Amidst Lost Love: "Make It Right" by The Nerval
Lyrics
Without you
Expressing a sense of emptiness or incompleteness without the presence of the person being addressed.
I think about it
Reflecting on the absence and contemplating its impact.
I refuse to hear and see
Choosing to ignore or avoid certain emotions and experiences related to the separation.
I was about to let go
Being on the verge of giving up or moving on from the relationship.
What we had with all the memories
Nostalgically recalling the shared history and moments from the past.
I'm keeping hidden inside my head
Keeping emotional struggles hidden internally.
And now I wonder where to go and hide
Expressing a desire to escape or find refuge from the current emotional turmoil.
Anywhere away from here
Yearning to be anywhere else but the current emotional state.
Not long ago
Reflecting on a recent time when alternative choices could have been made.
I could've come up with another way
Acknowledging the possibility of finding a different solution or approach.
But part of me was lost
Feeling a sense of personal loss or detachment.
And I don't have a cause because
Lacking a clear reason or motivation for actions taken.
You don't know who to believe
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about who or what to trust.
The way to go is to forget it since
Suggesting the need to move on and forget, emphasizing difficulty in doing so.
I cannot see you come back to me
Accepting the difficulty of seeing the person return to the speaker's life.
It's here in my head
Indicating that the emotional struggle resides in the speaker's thoughts.
Every time I tried to make it right
Repeated attempts to correct or improve the situation.
Cause it seems like I care
Recognizing the appearance of caring, possibly conflicting with the desire to forget.
I just wanna anyhow
Expressing a willingness to take any action or approach, irrespective of consequences.
In this room I'm realizing
Realizing the current emotional state while in a specific physical space.
How I could've believed that
Reflecting on the past belief of having control over the situation.
I'd be in control of it all
Expressing regret for past memories and experiences.
Regretting all the memories
Recalling moments of contemplating the future.
Whenever I could think ahead
Thinking about the future possibilities or consequences.
Somehow I wonder anywhere I go
Expressing uncertainty about the direction of one's journey.
Anything I could be
Contemplating various potential identities or roles.
Not long ago I could've come up
Reflecting on missed opportunities to communicate differently.
With another way to make you see
Considering alternative ways to make oneself understood.
So lost and I don't a cause but
Feeling lost without a clear reason or motivation for actions taken.
You just blame it all on me
Being held responsible for the situation, whether justified or not.
The way to go is to forget it since
Reiterating the need to forget and move on due to the difficulty of reconciliation.
I cannot see you come back to me
Acknowledging the challenge of envisioning a reunion.
It's here in my head
Reiterating the internal nature of the emotional struggle.
Every time I tried to make it right
Continued efforts to correct or improve the situation.
Cause it seems like I care
Recognizing the appearance of caring, potentially conflicting with the desire to forget.
I just wanna anyhow
Expressing a willingness to take any action or approach, irrespective of consequences.
I don't wanna tell you how to lie
Reluctance to be truthful or transparent about one's feelings.
