Lyrics
It was a clear summer's day when you decided
Reflecting on a decisive moment during a clear summer day.
You didn't want to live long enough
Expressing a desire to end one's life prematurely.
To see the other person trying to survive for their life
Observing the struggles of another person trying to survive.
Both the same age and married with obstacles that are tough
Both individuals are of the same age and face marital challenges.
One is dying to survive and one died to end their life
One person is desperately trying to survive, while the other chose to end their life.
How much pain can one person take before they go insane
Questioning the threshold of pain before reaching insanity.
This game of life shouldn't be that hard to play
Contemplating the difficulty of life and its inherent challenges.
We're all alike cause we're so different
Highlighting the paradox of being alike despite differences.
And that's what makes us the same
Unity in diversity, emphasizing shared humanity.
When our body's gone the bones will be identical as they lay
Physical bodies may differ, but bones are identical in death.
The good can seem like bad when it's new
Good may appear bad when new; cautioning about initial perceptions.
Be careful of the words that you choose
Advising to be mindful of words chosen due to their impact.
We all take things different, encouraged or abused
Individuals interpret and react differently to circumstances, positively or negatively influenced.
We all play roles in this game win or lose
Emphasizing diverse roles in the complex game of life, irrespective of winning or losing.
We've all been betrayed so forgive yourself
Encouraging self-forgiveness for betrayals experienced.
We're not made to be our own enemies
Rejecting self-sabotage; acknowledging external challenges.
There's enough of them out there taking what we need
Addressing the presence of adversaries taking essential resources.
All of the trust has been broken at one point in time
Trust has been broken universally at some point in time.
I remember when you held it close and you broke mine
Recalling a personal moment of trust betrayal.
In the big picture it's trivial so why should I care
Considering the insignificance of a problem in the larger context.
I have more important things in life then stop to wallow there
Prioritizing more important aspects of life over dwelling on trivial matters.
This is our life now, this is where we're at
Accepting the current state of life without the possibility of reversal.
There's no turning back
Committing to moving forward with life.
I'll take the pieces that have fallen and remove the stack
Taking control by picking up and addressing the fallen pieces.
The good can seem like bad when it's new
Reiteration of the idea that the good may seem bad initially.
Be careful of the words that you choose
Emphasizing the importance of careful word selection.
We all take things different, encouraged or abused
Reiterating the diversity in responses to experiences, whether positively encouraged or negatively abused.
We all play roles in this game win or lose
Reaffirming the presence of various roles in the ongoing game of life, irrespective of the outcome.
