Don't
Heartbreak Symphony: Tony Garmon's Reflection on Lost Love
Lyrics
Life wasn't supposed to be this way
Life hasn't unfolded as expected or desired.
My heart wasn't ready for the words you'd say
The speaker's emotions weren't prepared for the hurtful words uttered.
Memories keep flooding through my mind
The speaker's mind is overwhelmed by recollections.
I never knew that love could make me blind
Love has blinded the speaker in unforeseen ways.
But now I see
The speaker now comprehends the situation.
That's why you have this song for me
This song is an expression of the speaker's feelings.
I keep on thinking things will change
The speaker anticipates changes but they don't occur.
But they don't
Despite expectations, circumstances remain unchanged.
I keep on hoping you will turn my way
The speaker desires the other person's attention but doesn't receive it.
It looks like yesterday is gone
The past seems irretrievable.
I thought that we would live our whole life long
Expectation of a lifelong relationship.
And I would always love you till I'm gone
The speaker planned to love indefinitely.
Oh, but I don't
The speaker doesn't feel the same way anymore.
Why does the mind begin to stray
Wondering why thoughts wander.
A lonely heart that lost the will to stay
A heart feeling lonely and lacking motivation to persist.
Never thought that I would turn my head
Surprised by one's own change in perspective.
Wishful thoughts I'd feel your love instead
Hoping for love but experiencing only wishful thoughts.
But that's not true
The reality contradicts the speaker's hopes.
That's why I wrote this song to you
The song serves as a message directed to the other person.
I keep on thinking things will change
The speaker's persistent hope for change remains unfulfilled.
But they don't
Expectations of change continue to be disappointed.
I keep on hoping you will turn my way
The desire for the other person's attention persists.
It looks like yesterday is gone
The past seems irretrievable.
I thought that we would live our whole life long
Expectation of a lifelong relationship.
And I would always love you till I'm gone
The speaker planned to love indefinitely.
Oh, but I don't
The speaker's feelings have changed.
I keep on thinking things will change
Expectations of change remain unmet.
But they don't
Despite anticipating change, nothing changes.
I keep on hoping you will turn my way
Continued hope for the other person's attention.
It looks like yesterday is gone
The past seems irretrievable.
I thought that we would live our whole life long
Expectation of a lifelong relationship.
And I would always love you till I'm gone
The speaker planned to love indefinitely.
Oh, but I don't
The speaker's feelings have changed.
