Awlled Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could wait a thousand days
You never wait for me
You never wait for me
Even when i ran away
You all that could see
You all that i could see
When I could hardly walk on my own
I had to lift myself out of the trench below

How then i suffered enough to let you go
Let you go
Let you go now
You love me right for a minute
Even though i try so hard to forget it
cll you do is pave the way so I could reinvent myself
You love me right for a minute
Even though i try so hard to forget it
cll you do is pave the way so I could reinvent myself
You can watch me glow

You can watch me glow

You can watch me glow

I could wait a thousand days
You never wait for me
You never wait for me
Even when i ran away
You all that could see
You all that i could see
When I could hardly walk on my own
I had to lift myself out of the trench below
How then i suffered enough to let you go
Let you go
Let you go now
You love me right for a minute
Even though i try so hard to forget it
cll you do is pave the way so I could reinvent myself
You love me right for a minute
Even though i try so hard to forget it
cll you do is pave the way so I could reinvent myself
You can watch me glow

You can watch me glow

You can watch me glow

Line by Line Meaning

I could wait a thousand days
I am willing to wait for a long time

You never wait for me
You never have the patience to wait for me

You all that could see
You were the only one who could understand me

When I could hardly walk on my own
During my most difficult moments, when I couldn't function alone

I had to lift myself out of the trench below
I had to pick myself up from a deep emotional low

How then I suffered enough to let you go
I went through enough pain to finally release you from my heart

Let you go
Allowing you to leave my life

Let you go now
Finally, I am freeing myself from your hold

You love me right for a minute
You briefly showed me love and care

Even though I try so hard to forget it
Even though I make an effort to erase that memory

All you do is pave the way so I could reinvent myself
Your actions only create opportunities for me to rediscover and change myself
