Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Don't know why I still slept on my side of the bed
The emptiness when you were gone kept ringing in my head
Told myself I really had to move along now
Stop regretting all the things I left unsaid, yeah, yeah
So I tore up your letters, took your picture off my wall
I deleted your number, it was too hard not to call
Felt a little better, told myself I'd be fine
Got to live for the good times up ahead, yeah, yeah
'Cause everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cause I still believe and I could see
How there's nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cause I'm so not over you
All my friends try to tell me, ?Better find somebody new
Why waste time being lonely, when there's nothing left to lose??
Anything to get you out of my mind
I'm a fool if I thought I could forget, and I could not forget
'Cause everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cause I still believe and I could see
There was nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cause I'm so not over you
Now I found a way to keep you there beside me
To where my love won't be denied
I can only hope to keep you there and guide me
There's no more need to hide from all this pain inside
'Cause everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cause I still believe and I could see how
There's nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cause I'm so not over you
So not over, over you
That time is over, baby
'Cause I'm so not over you
The emptiness when you were gone kept ringing in my head
Told myself I really had to move along now
Stop regretting all the things I left unsaid, yeah, yeah
So I tore up your letters, took your picture off my wall
I deleted your number, it was too hard not to call
Felt a little better, told myself I'd be fine
Got to live for the good times up ahead, yeah, yeah
'Cause everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cause I still believe and I could see
How there's nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cause I'm so not over you
All my friends try to tell me, ?Better find somebody new
Why waste time being lonely, when there's nothing left to lose??
Anything to get you out of my mind
I'm a fool if I thought I could forget, and I could not forget
'Cause everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cause I still believe and I could see
There was nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cause I'm so not over you
Now I found a way to keep you there beside me
To where my love won't be denied
I can only hope to keep you there and guide me
There's no more need to hide from all this pain inside
'Cause everywhere I go
There's a love song that reminds me of you
And even though I knew I had to be strong
I was still not over you
'Cause I still believe and I could see how
There's nothing left of you and me
That time is over
'Cause I'm so not over you
So not over, over you
That time is over, baby
'Cause I'm so not over you

Gets deep, deep down in you... Even for an unrequited love...
Thank you. I can relate. I've never had it returned. Gave all I got and got nothin' except talk...and fear...and betrayal. And it never changes. Only I can change it. Sometimes you just have to toss in the towel and give up. It's what they expect anyway. It's their own self-fulfilling prophecy. At least they can pat themselves on the back and tell themselves that they were correct; they had all the answers. They were left again. Oh, woe is them. Woe is me for every believing...
