Lyrics
Once upon a time
Reflecting on a past period
I was alone
Isolation or solitude
I was the needy one
Dependence on someone
Waiting for your name on my phone
Anticipation for communication
Used to want your arms,
Desire for physical closeness
Used to want your a bit of your time
Desire for attention and time
But you wouldn't gimme that
Rejection or denial of desired attention
You thought your world was better than mine
Perceived superiority of the other's world
Now you're crying for attention
Regretful realization of needing attention
But it took you way too long
Delayed recognition of the need for attention
Now you look in my direction
Shift in focus towards the speaker
But my lonely days are gone
End of speaker's lonely days
I was crying for attention
Past desire for attention
While you kept on doing me wrong
Recognition of being mistreated
But now I feel so much stronger
Current emotional strength
You can stay on your own
Encouraging the other to stay alone
Once, there was a time
Reflecting on a different time
When I didn't know
Ignorance of ego and its effects
cbout the Ego
Acknowledgment of ego's impact
cnd all of its traps and felt so low
Feeling of emotional low
Was ready to suffer,
Willingness to endure suffering
To keep you as my lover
Commitment to the relationship
But you never ever cared about another
One-sided caring in the relationship
Than the one seducer you see in the mirror
Focus on self-image in the mirror
The late calls at night won't happen again
End of late-night calls
You should have picked up the phone before,
Regret for not answering calls earlier
Now you're never gonna get it
Emphasizing the end of communication
never gonna, never gonna, Don't call no more (x2)
Repetition of the decision to not call anymore
Now you're crying for attention
Current need for attention
But it took you way too long
Recognition of delayed realization
Now you look in my direction
Shift in attention towards the speaker
But my lonely days are gone
End of the speaker's lonely days
I was crying for attention
Past need for attention
While you kept on doing me wrong
Acknowledgment of being mistreated
But now I feel so much stronger
Current emotional strength
You can stay on your own
Encouragement for the other to stay alone
