Chicago
Embers of Regret: A Heart's Departure from Chicago
Lyrics
We fought fire with fire till the spark gave out
We tried to combat challenges with similar intensity until the initial enthusiasm faded.
We watched the embers burn at the edge of town
We observed the remaining glowing fragments at the outskirts of town.
We always talked about getting outta this place
We consistently discussed the idea of escaping this location.
But now your room is filled with empty space
Your living space is now vacant and devoid of its previous warmth.
I can't go back to Chicago
I cannot return to Chicago.
I really wish you could know
I genuinely wish you could comprehend.
How much you meant to me
I want you to understand how significant you were to me.
Now that I set you free I can't bear to even face you
Now that I've released you, I find it challenging to confront you.
There's nothing that I can do
I am helpless; there's nothing more I can do.
I'm sorry that I had to go
I regret the necessity of my departure.
But I'm never going back to Chicago
I've decided not to return to Chicago.
I remember all the drives to Lake Michigan
I recall the journeys to Lake Michigan vividly.
Just so we could go to the beach
We went to the beach just to enjoy those drives.
But I don't think I would ever wanna do that again
However, I'm hesitant to repeat those experiences because you seemed unattainable.
Because you seemed so out of reach
Your emotional distance makes those moments less appealing.
I can't go back to Chicago
I cannot return to Chicago.
I really wish you could know
I genuinely wish you could comprehend.
How much you meant to me
I want you to understand how significant you were to me.
Now that I set you free I can't bear to even face you
Now that I've released you, I find it challenging to confront you.
There's nothing that I can do
I am helpless; there's nothing more I can do.
I'm sorry that I had to go
I regret the necessity of my departure.
But I'm never going back to Chicago
I've decided not to return to Chicago.
All the lights on the highway
All the lights along the highway are now strangely dim.
Have never seemed so dim
The challenges are increasing, making it harder to persevere.
The tide keeps on rising
The difficulties are escalating like a rising tide.
It's getting harder and harder to swim
Survival is becoming increasingly difficult.
It's time I leave this place behind
It's time for me to move on from this place.
Leave this place behind
I need to leave this location behind.
I can't go back to Chicago
I cannot return to Chicago.
I really wish you could know
I genuinely wish you could comprehend.
How much you meant to me
I want you to understand how significant you were to me.
Now that I set you free I can't bear to even face you
Now that I've released you, I find it challenging to confront you.
There's nothing that I can do
I am helpless; there's nothing more I can do.
I'm sorry that I had to go
I regret the necessity of my departure.
But I'm never going back to Chicago
I've decided not to return to Chicago.
To Chicago
I've made the choice never to go back to Chicago.
