Nothing's the Same
Gary Moore Lyrics

Another time, another place.
Reflecting on a different time and place when the singer and the person addressed were together.

The lonely streets where we embraced.
Remembering the streets where they shared an intimate moment together.

Then you would go without a trace.
The person addressed would leave without a word or goodbye after their intimate moments.

Nothing's the same without you.
The artist feels that everything is different and less vibrant without the person they loved.

Another day goes passing by.
Each day moves on without the person the artist loved, making it harder for them to move on.

I sit alone and wonder why.
The singer is tormented by questions about why it ended and what they could have done differently.

Sometimes it's hard, but I will try to live my life without you.
Despite how difficult it is, the singer feels compelled to try to live without the person addressed.

You're in my heart, you're in my dreams.
Even though they are physically apart, the person addressed still occupies a large part of the artist's life.

You're everywhere or so it seems.
The person addressed appears to be everywhere around the artist, even when they are not there in reality.

So many times I've heard that song.
A song that reminds the artist of the person addressed, making it hard to forget them.

Hold back the tears, pretend you're strong.
The singer tries to put on a strong face and hide their emotions, even though it is a struggle.

Another day goes slowly by.
The days seem to drag on without the person addressed, making it harder for the artist to move on.

I sit alone and wonder why.
The singer still has unanswered questions and doubts about why it ended.

I think of you, I start to cry.
Thinking of the person addressed brings on strong emotions and tears for the singer.

Nothing's the same without you.
The absence of the person the singer loved is still felt acutely and is a constant source of pain for them.

Another time, another place.
Continuing to reflect on a different time and place when they were together with the person addressed.

The sweetness of our last embrace.
Recalling the tenderness and intimacy of their final embrace together.

What would I give to see your face.
The singer would do anything to be able to see the person addressed again and be reunited with them.

Nothing's the same without you.
Reasserting that everything is harder and less meaningful without the person the singer loved.

Nothing's the same,
The artist is emphasizing that everything in their life has been affected and altered by their absence.

nothing's the same,
Repeating and emphasizing the feeling that everything is different and difficult without the person addressed.

nothing's the same without you.
Stating definitively that nothing is the same and it is all due to the absence of the person the artist loved.
