Counting The Days
Goldfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just another stupid thing that I done wrong.
Locked up in my head, knocked down, beaten, left for dead
With all those brilliant things I should have said.
I gotta get away, and find something to do
'Cause everything I hear, everything I see, reminds me of you.
Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Day one, was no fun.
Day two, I hated you.
By day three I wish you'd come right back to me.
Day four, five and six, well I guess you just don't give a shit.
Day seven, this is hell. this is hell.
I gotta get away, and find something to do.
But everything I hear, everything I see, reminds me of you.
Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days since you left me. 1, 2, 3 ,4
Still counting the days since you've been gone.
A thousand things I want to say to you, but its too late now.
A thousand things I want to say
A thousand things I want to say to you, but its too late now.
A thousand things I want to say
Still counting the days I've been without you.
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days since you left me 1, 2, 3, 4
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Gone

The lyrics to Goldfinger's "Counting The Days" is a powerful and emotional depiction of the pain of heartbreak. The singer laments his own mistakes that may have caused the breakup, and his inability to express his true feelings for the person they lost. He describes feeling trapped and alone, despite everything around him reminding him of the person he lost. The repetition of "still counting the days" emphasizes the passage of time and the difficulty of moving on from heartbreak.
The lyrics also reveal the singer's increasing level of grief as the days pass. Initially, on the first day, he describes feeling "no fun," but he is still willing to forgive and forget by the third day. However, by day four, he despises his former partner, and by day seven, he is completely miserable, describing his situation as "hell."
The lyrics speak to anyone who has experienced the pain of a broken heart, and the frustration and sadness of not being able to express oneself fully to the person they lost.
