Since I Told You It's Over
Stereophonics Lyrics

Black and blue from the wind and the rain
I am physically and emotionally battered, and the weather is reflecting my inner turmoil.

Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain
I apologize for causing you harm with both my dishonesty and the resulting feelings of hurt.

I never ever meant to make you cry
My intent was never to bring any tears to your eyes; I regret the way things turned out.

If I could take you back, you know, I would
I would gladly go back to the past and undo the damage I caused if it were possible.

I wanna burn up and die
I feel such grief and shame that I would rather cease existing than bear this pain any longer.

So take a look at me now
Now that I've expressed my remorse, I want you to notice where I am in order to gauge the extent of my regrets.

Since I told you it's over
My declaration of the end of our relationship initiated a series of events, and I've been feeling the impact ever since.

You got a hole in your heart
You are left with an emotional emptiness that you must process and overcome.

I'll find a four leaf clover
I hope to bring you some luck and positivity to help mend your heart.

You can't tell me this now
It's been too long since our breakup, so don't act like you're still unable to move on.

This far down the line
After all these years or months, it's time to put the past behind us and move forward.

That you're never, ever gonna get over me
You've been holding onto our history for so long, but it's time to let go and move on to new things in your life.

You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear
I own up to my role in our problems and carry the guilt with me as a reminder of my mistakes.

You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care
You're dealing with your emotions by indulging in unhealthy habits or behaviors that aren't helping you heal.

You're making do to please, see what makes you smile
You're trying to find fulfillment by doing what you enjoy, and I encourage you to continue seeking what brings you joy.

You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along
Life is too short to dwell on the past or hold onto the pain, so find what makes you feel alive and focus on moving forward.

I'm lost
I feel directionless and uncertain about my future without you.

I'm cold
I feel emotionally numb and unable to feel warmth or connection to others.

I'm getting old
Time is passing by and I'm beginning to realize the true weight of my actions and missed opportunities.

My head is filled with lies I told
I can't escape the weight of my dishonesty and how it's affected our relationship.

I've been down
I've experienced significant hardships and pain due to my choices and actions.

I've been around
I've seen a lot and been through many things in my life, but what happened between us is significant enough to stand out.

But I've fallen on my own two feet
Despite the struggles I've been through, I've found a way to stand on my own and move forward with my life.

And I've left you out to drown
I recognize how my actions have impacted you negatively and left you feeling unsupported and alone.

I never meant for that
I want to make it clear that I never intended to hurt you or leave you feeling abandoned.

I look around, sometimes I stare
I find myself lost in thought or reflection, thinking back on our time together and analyzing what went wrong.

I think back now and then, I hope you know I care
Although we're no longer together, I still think of you fondly and hope that you're doing well.

I walked away that day, trying to treat you right
I made the difficult decision to end things because I believed it was the best thing for both of us in the long run, even though it was painful in the moment.

But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside
At the time of our breakup, you were moving forward with your life while I was hesitant and uncertain, leaving you feeling abandoned and vulnerable.

Never get over me
There may always be a small part of you that remembers our time together, but it's time to move past the pain and towards a happier future.
