Candlelight
Love Fading: A Tale of Unspoken Goodbyes
Lyrics
Feels like the end of the road
Expressing a sense of reaching a conclusion or a difficult situation.
You just took both your hands off the wheel
Describing a loss of control or direction in a situation or relationship.
You act like there's nothing wrong
Observing a pretense of normalcy despite underlying issues.
How many tears will I cry til you know
Questioning the emotional toll endured and seeking acknowledgment.
It feels like you don't even try
Perceiving a lack of effort or commitment in the relationship.
Is this everything you had fantasized
Questioning if reality aligns with envisioned ideals.
We were in love, just like fire
Recalling a past passionate love, likening it to a vibrant flame.
You watched it die, go out like candlelight
Witnessing the decline of love, drawing a parallel to a fading candlelight.
And you tell me "I love you"
Receiving verbal affirmation of love.
And you know that I want you
Acknowledging desire and attraction.
And I wish I could believe you
Expressing a struggle to trust and believe in the professed love.
But it's too late to call me
Highlighting the irreversibility of the situation, making a call too late.
Because your words just feel so empty now
Noting the hollowness and lack of sincerity in spoken words.
You thought that moving to LA
Commenting on a geographical change as an attempt to escape unresolved issues.
Would solve the fears you never faced
Believing that moving doesn't address underlying fears.
but I knew you'd keep running away
Predicting a pattern of avoidance and escapism.
For the six years that I stayed
Expressing commitment over a significant period despite challenges.
Wanted to believe that you could change
Desiring to believe in the possibility of positive change.
But I never thought that it could end this way
Expressing surprise and disappointment at an unexpected ending.
It feels like you don't even try
Reiterating the perception of a lack of effort in the relationship.
Is this everything you had fantasized
Questioning if reality aligns with envisioned ideals, again.
We were in love, just like fire
Recalling a past passionate love, reiterated from earlier.
You watched it die, go out like candlelight
Repeating the imagery of love diminishing like a fading candlelight.
And you tell me "I love you"
Receiving verbal affirmation of love, repeated from earlier.
And you know that I want you
Acknowledging desire and attraction, repeated from earlier.
And I wish I could believe you
Expressing a struggle to trust and believe in the professed love, repeated.
But it's too late to call me
Highlighting the irreversibility of the situation, repeated.
Because your words just feel so empty now
Noting the hollowness and lack of sincerity in spoken words, repeated.
Because your words just feel so empty now
Emphasizing the persistent emptiness in spoken words.
Because your words just feel so empty now
Repeating the emphasis on emptiness, underlining the emotional void.
(So empty, empty, baby)
Reiterating the pervasive emptiness in the relationship, perhaps with a touch of sorrow.
Because your words just feel so empty now
Concluding with a final emphasis on the lingering emptiness.
