Sahara Pt. II
Bear's Den Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wasn't honest enough
And I thought I would never get over you
All my life
I wasn't honest enough
And I thought I would never get over you
You said that I'd always feel alone
But it's the life that I chose
You said I could never be happy with anyone
But I found love
I found love
I found love
I found love
All my life
I wasn't honest enough
And I thought I would never get over you
All my life
I wasn't honest enough
And I thought I would never get over you
But I found love
But I found love
But I found love
But I found love
But I found love

All my life
Throughout my entire existence
I wasn't honest enough
I lacked sincerity and candor in my thoughts and actions
And I thought I would never get over you
I believed that I would never move on from the past and the emotions attached to it
I'd never get over you
I convinced myself that it was impossible to overcome the feelings I had for you
You said that I'd always feel alone
You told me that I would never find companionship or connection with others
But it's the life that I chose
However, I deliberately made the decision to live my life in a certain way
You said I could never be happy with anyone
You claimed that I was incapable of experiencing joy or contentment with a partner
But I found love
Despite your beliefs, I discovered a romantic connection and affection
But I found love
I found it again and again
But I found love
It was waiting for me in unexpected places
But I found love
And it brought newfound happiness and fulfillment to my life
All my life
Up until this moment
I wasn't honest enough
I struggled to be transparent and truthful with myself and others
And I thought I would never get over you
And I was convinced that I would never move past the feelings and memories of you
But I found love
But I was able to find a new love and a new chapter of my life
But I found love
And that love was enough to break the spell that you had over me
But I found love
And it made me realize that I was capable of loving and being loved in return
But I found love
And that made all the difference
