Lyrics
Started the day at 5:30 this morning
Started the day early, at 5:30 AM.
Still half asleep, reached toward her pillow
Still groggy, reached for her pillow but found it empty.
No one there, she left before daybreak
She left before dawn.
A brief kiss on the cheek introducing heartache
A quick goodbye kiss brought sadness.
A flip of her hair as she walked out the door
She confidently walked out, leaving with a flip of her hair.
I won't see her anymore
Realization that he won't see her again.
She wants to be the world's finest actress
She aspires to be an acclaimed actress or ballerina.
Or did she say a famous ballerina
Uncertainty about her exact dream.
Either way, I'll be left here
Regardless, he will be left behind.
While far away, she won't remember
She might forget their shared moments while away.
All of the simple things we used to do
Reflecting on the simple things they used to do.
Why does she need something new
Questioning why she seeks something new.
Live my life in quiet desperation
Living a life filled with silent desperation.
Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight
Feeling trapped and gloomy, devoid of sunshine.
Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns
Holding onto hope until her return.
I'll be living in quiet desperation
Continuing to live in quiet desperation.
She doesn't feel the need to be close to someone
She doesn't crave closeness; too many dreams to pursue.
Too many dreams, different roads to follow
Her diverse aspirations lead different paths.
But perhaps, someday she'll be returning
Hopeful that she may return someday.
Maybe call, talk about the old times
Anticipating a call to reminisce about the past.
But still it seems that those days are all gone
Despite hope, it feels like those days are gone.
How can I carry on
The challenge of moving forward.
Live my life in quiet desperation
Continuing to live in silent desperation.
Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight
Stuck in a cloud of sadness with no apparent resolution.
Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns
Maintaining hope despite the absence.
I'll be living in quiet desperation
Persisting in living with quiet desperation.
But still it seems that those days are all gone
Despite hope, the past days seem irretrievable.
How can I carry on
The struggle to carry on.
Live my life in quiet desperation
Living a life marked by silent desperation.
Trapped in the clouds, no sunshine in sight
Trapped in a gloomy state without the prospect of happiness.
Still have my hopes, but 'til she returns
Maintaining hope, but the absence persists.
I'll be living in quiet desperation
Continuing to endure a life of quiet desperation.
