On a Sunday
Ester Peony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I still remember that day in September
Yeah, you left me on a Sunday
Made sure there's no way to forget that day
Say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Watching the smoke rise from the ashtray
Filling the room with pain
It's still in my veins
Can't feel at home, 'cause it's so lonely
So cold and so grey since you left that day
You know, you know
Even if the sun rises and the world moves on everyday
Hey, hey, hey
I will always be waiting for you to come back home to me
To me, to me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Wake me up from this nightmare
Is this even true?
Am I without you?
Love's not fair
Oh, I have learned that
Just never knew that I'll be losing you
You know, you know
Even if the sun rises and the world moves on everyday
Hey, hey, hey
I will always be waiting for you to come back home to me
To me, to me
Hey
(Loving you is a hard price to pay)
Hey
Hey, hey, hey
(Loving you is a hard price to pay)
Hey, hey
The song "On a Sunday" by Ester Peony speaks to the heartache and longing one feels after being left by someone they love. The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and loneliness that one experiences when they are left by someone they thought they would spend their life with. The opening line, "you left me on a Sunday," starts the song with a sense of finality - the idea that this person left on a day of rest and relaxation creates a juxtaposition to the pain and turmoil the singer is feeling.
The second stanza speaks to the memories that the singer cannot escape. Instead of finding solace in their home, the memories of the person who left fill the room with pain. It is a place that is cold and lonely, and the singer wonders if they will ever feel at home again. The chorus serves as a reminder that loving someone can be a hard price to pay. The pain and heartache are not reasons to stop loving, but it is a reminder that loving someone comes with a cost.
The bridge of the song expresses a feeling of desperation and disbelief. The singer is asking themselves if this is a nightmare or if it is real. They are grappling with the idea that they are living life without the person they love, and that reality is too much to bear. The final chorus speaks to the hope that the singer still carries. Even if the world continues to move forward each day, they will always be waiting for the person who left to come back home to them.

You left me on a Sunday
You left me on a weekend day and it was heartbreaking
And I still remember that day in September
The memory of that day is still fresh in my mind
Yeah, you left me on a Sunday
You left me on a weekend day and it was heartbreaking
Made sure there's no way to forget that day
You made sure the memory of that day remains in my mind forever
Say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
A way to express sadness and disappointment
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Being in love with you comes with a cost and sacrifice
Watching the smoke rise from the ashtray
Sorrow and pain are reflected in the environment around me
Filling the room with pain
My emotions are overwhelming me
It's still in my veins
The pain of losing you still lingers
Can't feel at home, 'cause it's so lonely
Without you, I don't feel comfortable or safe in my own space
So cold and so grey since you left that day
My life has become bleak and depressing without you
Even if the sun rises and the world moves on everyday
Time doesn't completely heal the wound of losing you
I will always be waiting for you to come back home to me
Hopeful that you will come back to me and things will be okay again
Wake me up from this nightmare
This experience has been so painful that it feels like a bad dream
Is this even true?
I can't believe that this has happened
Am I without you?
I feel incomplete and lost without you
Love's not fair
Love doesn't always result in a happy ending
Oh, I have learned that
This painful experience has taught me a lesson about love and loss
Just never knew that I'll be losing you
I didn't expect to lose you and it was a devastating surprise
Hey
A way to express sadness and disappointment
(Loving you is a hard price to pay)
Being in love with you comes with a cost and sacrifice
Hey, hey, hey
A way to express sadness and disappointment
(Loving you is a hard price to pay)
Being in love with you comes with a cost and sacrifice
Hey, hey
A way to express sadness and disappointment

You left me

And I still remember
That day in September
Yeah you left me
On a Sunday
Made sure there's no way
To forget that day
Say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Watching the smoke
Rise from the ashtray
Filling the room with pain
It's still in my veins
Can't feel at home
Cuz it's so lonely
So cold and so grey
Since you left that day
You know, you know
Even if the sun rises and the world moves on everyday
Hey, hey, hey

Oh, I have learned that
Just never knew, that
I'll be losing you
You know, you know
Even if the sun rises and the world moves on everyday
Hey, hey, hey
I will always be waiting for you to come back home to me
To me, to me, to me hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
