You Mean the World to Me
Freya Ridings Lyrics

The time I thought that we would have
The time that I believed we would have together in the future, was instantly taken away from us.

Was taken from red to black
Our future turned from one filled with love and hope ('red') to one lacking those things ('black').

I said things I can't take back
I said hurtful things in the past, and cannot recall them or undo their impact.

And I don't know how to live with that
I am struggling to accept and cope with the effects of my past actions.

There's a darkness that I've known
I have experienced and am familiar with a deep, negative feeling or situation.

And it's shaken me to stone
This darkness has brought me to a state of extreme emotional numbness and hardness.

It kills me you might not know
It deeply saddens and hurts me that you may not realize how important you are to me.

After all
Despite everything we've been through.

'Cause I know I don't let you see
I am aware that I don't show you how much you mean to me.

But you mean the world to me
You are incredibly important to me, even though I may not always express it in words or actions.

And I know that I can be pretty mean
I am aware that I have acted cruelly towards you at times.

What the hell is wrong with me?
I am deeply confused and frustrated with myself for how I've been behaving lately.

I just sat there and watched you leave
I passively let you go, without making any attempt to stop or reconcile with you.

I am not this ice queen
I am not as cold and unfeeling as I may appear to be.

And you think I don't feel anything
You believe that I am emotionally detached and do not care about you or our relationship.

There's a fear that I've known
I have experienced and am familiar with a deep, negative emotion of being afraid.

And it's cut you to the bone
This fear has hurt you deeply and has affected you in a significant way.

And I'm so sorry I've never shown
I deeply regret that I've never expressed my love and appreciation for you as much as you deserve.

Just how much you hold
How incredibly important and valuable you are to me.

World to me
You are my entire world.

World to me
You are my everything.

'Cause I know I don't let you see
I am aware that you may not fully understand the depth and intensity of my emotions towards you.

But you mean the world to me
Nevertheless, you are incredibly important and valuable to me, more than I could ever express.
