Joanna Says She's Leaving
Farewell Echoes: Unraveling This River's Emotional Departure Tale
Lyrics
So you decide to leave
Expressing the decision to leave.
Take this broken heart when you depart
Asking the departing person to take the emotional pain of a broken heart along.
I'm not going to need it
Asserting that the speaker won't need the broken heart anymore.
Go don't you wait for me
Urging the departing person to go without waiting.
Won't get on my knees begging baby please
Refusing to plead on knees for the person to stay.
I'll just watch you leaving
Accepting the departure and just observing it without intervention.
Life's too short I'm realising
Realization that life is short.
It goes better when we're compromising
Acknowledging that compromise leads to a better life.
Joanna Say's she's leaving
Introducing Joanna and her decision to leave.
But I've seen it and I've heard it all before
Expressing skepticism, having witnessed similar situations before.
Joanna Say's she means it
Stating that Joanna insists on her decision to leave.
But I don't believe it
Expressing doubt and disbelief in Joanna's sincerity.
I don't feel it anymore
Emphasizing the speaker's emotional detachment, not feeling the impact anymore.
Nobody's going to be
Suggesting that the separation won't surprise anyone.
Surprised that we decide to be separated
Highlighting the decision to be separated.
For too long we've been
Indicating a long period of going through motions in the relationship.
Just going through the motions to an inevitable end
Implying an inevitable end to the relationship.
Life's too short I'm realising
Reiterating the realization that life is short.
It goes better when we're compromising
Affirming the positive impact of compromise on life.
Joanna Say's she's leaving
Repeating Joanna's decision to leave.
But I've seen it and I've heard it all before
Reinforcing skepticism based on past experiences.
Joanna Say's she means it
Reiterating Joanna's assertion of her decision.
But I don't believe it I don't feel it anymore
Persisting disbelief and emotional detachment.
Life's too short I'm realising
Restating the realization of life's brevity.
It goes better when we're compromising
Affirming the positive impact of compromise on life.
Joanna Say's she's leaving
Repeating Joanna's decision to leave.
But I've seen it and I've heard it all before
Reiterating skepticism based on past experiences.
Joanna Say's she means it
Reiterating Joanna's assertion of her decision.
But I don't believe it I don't feel it anymore
Persisting disbelief and emotional detachment.
Joanna Say's she's leaving
Repeating Joanna's decision to leave.
But I've seen it and I've heard it all before
Reiterating skepticism based on past experiences.
Joanna Say's she means it
Reiterating Joanna's assertion of her decision.
But I don't believe it I don't feel it anymore
Persisting disbelief and emotional detachment.
