Lyrics
I keep the letters in my drawer, they can't hurt me there
I store the letters in a safe place (drawer) to protect myself from their emotional impact.
I keep the memories in my head, can't get rid of them
I retain the memories in my mind, struggling to erase them from my thoughts.
I went to prove I did not care but I guess I still do
Despite attempting to prove otherwise, I still care about the person or situation.
She looked so perfect lying there and I can't ignore you
Recalling a moment where the person appeared perfect but acknowledging its impact on me.
Now I'm walking on the same old route I've travelled down a thousand times before
Repeating a familiar path, symbolizing the cyclical nature of revisiting past experiences.
Standing at your door
Standing at the door, possibly metaphorical, indicating a pivotal moment or decision.
Please don't say no we're so close even though it's so hard 'cos we both know we will never be together
Expressing the difficulty of accepting that a close connection won't lead to being together.
And you're in my dreams fall asleep you're so real when I wake you're not there, we will never be together
Conveying the bittersweet experience of dreaming about the person but waking up to their absence.
No I do not know who you are
Expressing uncertainty about the true nature or identity of the person being addressed.
I thought I did
Admitting a lack of clarity about the person despite past familiarity.
You and I been hanging out since we were both just kids
Highlighting a long-standing connection since childhood with the person in question.
So I turn my back and walk away 'cos it's the sensible thing to do
Choosing to walk away from the situation, guided by practicality rather than emotions.
Listen to my stupid head when I know that I should stay
Acknowledging the conflict between rational thinking and the desire to stay in the moment.
And I know someday we will look back and we'll laugh at all the things that made us cry
Anticipating a future where both parties can look back and find humor in past sorrows.
And I'll always wonder why
Expressing ongoing curiosity about the reasons behind the emotional struggles.
Please don't say no we're so close even though it's so hard 'cos we both know we will never be together
Reiterating the difficulty of accepting the impossibility of being together despite closeness.
You're in my dreams fall asleep you're so real when I wake you're not there and we will never be together
Repeating the theme of dreams, underscoring the contrast between the dream and waking reality.
Please don't say no we're so close even though it's so hard 'cos we both know we will never be together
Emphasizing the enduring challenge of acknowledging that being together is not possible.
And you'll be in my dreams fall asleep you're so real when I wake you're not there and we will never be together
Repeating the idea of dreams and waking up to the absence of the person, reinforcing the unattainable nature of the connection.
