Saudade
Saudade Melancholy: A Tale of Love Lost and Lessons Learned
Lyrics
The pictures on my phone
The images stored on my phone
Gave me hope for something more
Gave me a sense of optimism for something greater
Delusional naivety
Deluded innocence or a hopeful belief
Or something to live for
Or a reason to continue living
Holding too tightly
Holding on too tightly
Only made the breaking worse
Only worsened the eventual break
Denial and longing
Refusing to accept and yearning
Didn't change the course
Didn't alter the predetermined path
Bittersweet feeling
A mix of pleasure and pain
Wavering meaning
Uncertain and fluctuating significance
I wish it were different
I desire a different reality
I wish you would still be here with me
I wish you were still present in my life
Still lay on my side
Still lying on my side
Can't fill the space that's left
Unable to fill the void left behind
Where you used to be so close to me
Where you used to be intimately close to me
Oh I wish my words were kept
Oh, I wish my spoken words had impact
Though I never did my best
Even though I never gave my best effort
Shoulda coulda woulda
Regret and missed opportunities
That's my test
That's my personal examination
A lesson in loving
A lesson in the complexities of love
A lesson I won't forget
A lesson I won't easily forget
Bittersweet feeling
A mix of pleasure and pain
Wavering meaning
Uncertain and fluctuating significance
I wish it were different
I desire a different reality
I wish you would still be here with me
I wish you were still present in my life
Monochromatic tease
A tease in monochrome, lacking vibrancy
Disillusioned stories
Stories filled with disappointment and loss of illusions
I wish it were different
I desire a different reality
I wish you would still be here with me
I wish you were still present in my life
It happened for a reason
Events occurred with purpose
This separated feeling
This feeling of separation
Kills me every time
Painful every time it happens
But I know it's what's best for you
But I acknowledge it's for your best
It happened for a reason
Events occurred with purpose
This separated feeling
This feeling of separation
Kills me every time
Painful every time it happens
But I know it's what's best for you
But I acknowledge it's for your best
Bittersweet feeling
A mix of pleasure and pain
Wavering meaning
Uncertain and fluctuating significance
I wish it were different
I desire a different reality
I wish you would still be here with me
I wish you were still present in my life
Monochromatic tease
A tease in monochrome, lacking vibrancy
Disillusioned stories
Stories filled with disappointment and loss of illusions
I wish it were different
I desire a different reality
I wish you would still be here with me
I wish you were still present in my life
