Last seen a long time ago
Unforgotten Echoes: A Tale of Broken Promises by The Opening Act
Lyrics
Do you remember that afernoon
Reflecting on a specific afternoon in the past
When we were supposed to meet?
Recalling a planned meeting
I said that i will be there soon
Expressing a commitment to be punctual
I've said it more than once indeed
Admitting to repeated delays
And you waited full of fear
Describing the partner's anxious wait
And i didn't care at all
Conveying indifference to the partner's feelings
Wasn't you that it was about
Denying responsibility, blaming the partner
My needs were in control
Emphasizing self-centeredness
And after a while you came to look
Noticing the partner's arrival after delay
And i saw what you have seen
Acknowledging a shocking revelation
I saw it in the way you looked
Observing the partner's reaction
At that shocking scene
Referring to a disturbing incident
Then you ran away
Describing the partner's sudden departure
I had to call you back
Attempting to reach out to the departing partner
But there was nothing i could say
Expressing helplessness in fixing a mistake
That would fix what i have cracked
Acknowledging the irreversible damage caused
You didn't tell me where you'd go
Not knowing the partner's whereabouts
But everything was crystal clear
Claiming clarity despite the confusion
"Last seen a long time ago"
Referring to the partner's last known presence
Was written on my cellphone screen
Indicating a message on the cellphone screen
Last seen a long time ago
Repetition of the message, emphasizing the prolonged absence
Last seen a long time ago
-Last seen a long time ago
-Last seen a long time ago
