On My Own
Moving On: Reflections After Love's Departure
Lyrics
My shampoo's sitting on your tub
Feeling a sense of intimacy, as personal items are left in the ex-partner's space.
That's the most you've seen of me these past couple months
Highlighting the minimal interaction and visibility in the recent months.
Ever since you left me alone
Reflecting on the loneliness and abandonment after the breakup.
Thinking to myself in the Walgreens parking lot
Contemplating life and emotions in a mundane setting, suggesting a low point.
I never knew you could be so cold
Expressing surprise at the ex-partner's newfound emotional distance.
But I guess you figured that I'm not the one
Acknowledging the ex-partner's realization that the narrator may not be the right match.
And I didnt mean to make you stay
Apologizing for unintentionally prolonging the connection.
Look where we ended up out here anyways
Reflecting on the unexpected turn of events, being in an undesired situation.
Know that I tried my best
Asserting the effort invested in the relationship.
And I wish for all your success
Wishing the ex-partner success and well-being despite the separation.
I can make it on my own
Declaring independence and self-sufficiency.
But for you I felt it all
Admitting deep emotional involvement and attachment to the ex-partner.
I know this, but I
Indicating an internal struggle or conflicting emotions.
Make a numbered list of all the things you've done
Listing the actions or events that have impacted the narrator.
Looking back I know that I remember it all
Reflecting on the past and the lasting impression of experiences.
And I didnt mean to make you stay
Reiterating the unintended impact on the ex-partner's presence in the narrator's life.
Look where we ended up out here anyways
Expressing frustration about the current situation.
Know that I tried my best (I tried my best)
Reaffirming the effort and sincerity invested in the relationship.
And I wish for all your success
Repeating the desire for the ex-partner's success and happiness.
I can make it on my own
Reasserting independence and self-sufficiency.
But for you I felt it all
Recalling the depth of emotional connection despite the breakup.
I know this, but I
Reiterating internal struggles or conflicting emotions.
Know that I tried my best (I tried my best)
Emphasizing the sincerity and effort put into the relationship.
And I wish for all your success
Repeating the wish for the ex-partner's success and fulfillment.
I can make it on my own
Affirming the ability to stand independently.
But for you I felt it all
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the relationship despite independence.
I know this, but I
Reiterating an understanding of the emotional complexities but accepting the reality.
