Anthony Bell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this hurts just as much for me
This decisions tearing out my heart
As I look into your eyes my world falls apart
So I guess it's time we turned away
Forget all the promises and plans we made
I want you to be happy no matter what it takes
I have no regrets I've learnt from my mistakes
From all the things I wanted to say
And you help me to see what I believe I can be
What we had is now gone
I thought we were forever but I guess I was wrong
My life's like an open book you know every page
There nothing to be scared of so why am I afraid
And I, I turned away
From all the things I wanted to say
And you, help me to see what I believed I can be
If love was a raindrop I would send you a shower
If hope was a minute I would give you an hour
And I, I turned away
From all the things I wanted to say
And you, help me well to see what I believe I could be
And we
We'll forever be
Just another distant memory
Just another sad love story

You were blind to see
You were unable to recognize or understand
That this hurts just as much for me
I am experiencing the same amount of pain
This decisions tearing out my heart
This choice is causing immense emotional pain
As I look into your eyes my world falls apart
When I gaze into your eyes, my entire life crumbles
So I guess it's time we turned away
I suppose it's the moment we separate from each other
Forget all the promises and plans we made
Let go of all the commitments and future arrangements we had
I want you to be happy no matter what it takes
I desire your happiness regardless of the sacrifices required
I have no regrets I've learnt from my mistakes
I do not have any feelings of remorse as I have gained knowledge from my errors
And I, turned away
And I, moved in a different direction
From all the things I wanted to say
From expressing all the thoughts and emotions I desired to convey
And you help me to see what I believe I can be
And you assist me in recognizing my potential and aspirations
What we had is now gone
Our previous relationship is now lost and no longer exists
I thought we were forever but I guess I was wrong
I believed our bond would last indefinitely, but it appears I was mistaken
My life's like an open book you know every page
My life is completely transparent to you, you are aware of everything
There's nothing to be scared of so why am I afraid
There is no reason to feel fear, yet I still experience it
If love was a raindrop I would send you a shower
If love could be represented by raindrops, I would shower you with it
If hope was a minute I would give you an hour
If hope was measured in minutes, I would provide you with an entire hour
And we
And we, referring to both of us
We'll forever be
We will always remain
Just another distant memory
Simply another faded recollection
Just another sad love story
Only another tale of sorrowful romance
