Oh oh oh,I love ya X2
I do,I do,
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh,I love ya X2
I do,I do.
I told you why we just can't make it,
The time has come we ought to break it,
Someone had to pay the price.
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh,it's over x2
It's true,it's true,
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh,it's over x2
It's true, It's true.
I think of times we were together,
As time went on it seemed forever,
Times have changed now things are better,
Someone had to pay the price.
And I think of times we were together,
As time went on it seemed forever,
Times have changed now things are better,
Someone had to pay the price.
The lyrics of 5 A.M.'s song "Today" describe the bittersweet feeling of a long-term relationship coming to an end. The singer acknowledges their love for their partner, but also recognizes that the relationship has run its course and it's time to move on. The first verse sets up the conflict: the singer still loves their partner, but something isn't working and they know they need to end things. The chorus reinforces this idea, repeating the phrase "it's over" and emphasizing that the decision to break up is final.
The second verse is more reflective, focusing on the memories of the relationship rather than the present moment. The singer thinks fondly of the times they spent together, but again acknowledges that things have changed and they can't stay together any longer. The repetition of "someone had to pay the price" suggests that there were likely painful sacrifices made by both parties in ending the relationship.
Overall, "Today" is a poignant and melancholy song about the end of something that was once beautiful. It captures the mixed emotions that can come with deciding to move on from a long-term relationship.
