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.
