Lyrics
It's only been four weeks
Expressing a short duration since a significant event occurred
And you're already fading
Notably losing prominence or importance rapidly
Into a shadow of a memory
Becoming a faint memory, lacking substance or presence
It's almost frightening
Almost scary or alarming in how things are diminishing
It still hurts a little but
There's residual emotional pain, yet it's becoming forgettable
I can't remember
Forgetting the process of moving on from this hurt
Ever getting over
Never having recovered from someone so swiftly before
anyone this quickly
Every trace of someone fades away at day's end
Every shadow
The end of a relationship happened a while back
Disappears with the sunset
Shadows, akin to memories, dissolve when the day ends
Darling the sun set on us a long, long time ago
Recalling a past where the relationship concluded long ago
Every shadow
Emphasizing the transition of shadows into obscurity
Becomes a part of the darkness
Shadows merge into darkness, a metaphor for oblivion
And the darkness fades when the sun
The dark times fade as daylight returns
Starts to rise again
Each passing day reveals a realization about compatibility
With each day that passes I see
Acknowledging one's suitability in the past relationship
I was perfect for you
Realizing the mismatch despite previous perfection
But you weren't right for me
A recognition of the relationship's imbalance
You said it yourself that I deserve better
Being told deserving better, contrasting with public perception
But everyone I know is saying I'm the best that you'll ever get
Others perceive one as the best partner the ex will have
I wish that you could read
Desiring the ex to understand unspoken emotions
The letters that I wrote to you
Referencing unsent messages intended for the ex
But I burned them all two weeks ago
Destroying written communication to prevent its reading
So you couldn't read them
Ensuring the ex cannot access the destroyed letters
Even if you wanted to
Even if the ex wanted to, they couldn't read the burnt letters
Every shadow
Reiterating the disappearance of all traces with day's end
Disappears with the sunset
Referencing the distant end of the relationship
And the sun set on us a long, long time ago
Elaborating on the conclusion of the relationship long ago
Every shadow
Shadows merge into darkness, illustrating the passage of time
Becomes a part of the darkness
Highlighting the dissipation of dark times with daylight
And the darkness fades when the sun
Describing the renewal that comes with the rising sun
Starts to rise again
Recognizing the impossibility of rekindling the past
And though I know the sun won't rise
Knowing that a reunion is unfeasible despite the desire
On you and I together again
Accepting being alone while the ex moves on
It's okay because I'd rather watch it rise alone
Choosing solitude over a futile reunion
