When Everything Changed
Unraveling Grief: A Journey Through Loss
Lyrics
why do they ask
Expressing confusion about being questioned.
why can’t they see
Wondering why others can't perceive the internal struggles.
not enough time has gone by and I'm still not me
Feeling that not enough time has passed for personal recovery.
they don’t understand
Others lack understanding of the emotional burden being carried.
the burden I bear
Reflecting on the unfairness of losing someone dear.
why were you taken so soon it's just not fair
Questioning the untimely loss and expressing the sense of injustice.
do they know
Asking if others are aware of the emotional turmoil.
does it show
Wondering if the emotional struggle is visible to others.
is it written all over my face
Considering whether the pain is evident on one's face.
I just want to get through this with a little grace
Desiring to navigate the situation with grace.
so I break down
Acknowledging a moment of emotional breakdown.
when I know there's no one around
Breaking down when alone, revealing vulnerability.
turn down the lights sit in the dark
Creating a somber atmosphere by dimming lights and sitting in the dark.
pray to god to please make this pain stop
Praying for relief from the pain.
then I'll be strong
Expressing a desire to find strength after the emotional ordeal.
do my best to try to move on
Committing to trying to move forward.
from an ordinary day when everything changed
Reflecting on a life-altering moment and its impact.
the doctors have said
Referring to medical professionals' input on the situation.
the counselors have spoke
Acknowledging advice from counselors but feeling a loss of faith.
but they're not the ones who've lost faith in everything they know
Expressing a sense of losing faith in everything known.
is all of this real
Questioning the reality of the situation.
is it just a bad dream
Wondering if the pain is just a bad dream.
will I wake up in bed turn my head and see you next to me
Expressing a longing to wake up and see the loved one again.
everyday
Everyday routines and coping mechanisms are sought.
I find ways
Finding ways to return to a semblance of normal life.
to get back to regular life
Struggling but making an effort to resume regular life.
but sometimes I give up the fight
Admitting to moments of giving up the fight against pain.
and I break down
Repeating the theme of emotional breakdown when alone.
when I know there's no one around
Reiterating the vulnerability experienced when isolated.
turn down the lights sit in the dark
Restating the ritual of seeking solace in the dark.
pray to god to please make this pain stop
Praying for relief from the persistent pain.
then I'll be strong
Expressing a commitment to finding strength.
do my best to try to move on
Striving to move forward despite the emotional weight.
but I'm still re-living that day when everything changed
Continuing to relive the day when everything changed.
I can hear the sound of your voice smell the scent of your clothes
Echoing sensory memories of the departed loved one.
everybody listens but nobody knows
Highlighting the loneliness of internal struggles.
time can heal wounds but the past will leave scars
Recognizing the healing power of time but acknowledging lasting scars.
oh my god can you hear me I'm crying out loud
Addressing a higher power, seeking acknowledgment of pain.
so many things that I wish I could say on that ordinary day
Expressing unspoken thoughts and emotions from the life-changing day.
when everything changed
Reflecting on the profound impact of the day when everything changed.
