Summers Lost
Hurt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lie to me say you were wrong
Like you have too many times
And I'll believe it's not my fault
Like I have too much time

So hear me now boy
Stay alive 'cause that's the way it should go
Would your maker have opened your eyes
If he'd preferred them closed?
To feel the weight of summers lost
I'd love to have you here
And all the times we've ever crossed
It was just to keep you here

To try to be something you are not
Like I have for you and promised too
I know we'll get through this and won't
Let you do it, so stop!
And make believe that I'm not wrong
'cause if I was
We'd all be gone!

Nights without end seem to bleed into days
Try to forget that it turned out this way
I wear the mark of the permanent stain
Not accidentally, I cursed god's good name
I am still mortified yet believed in a way
That when my days are done
We'll be in the same plane

With winters mean brimstone I set sail for Euphrates
All I can say is it's a god damned shame
Just to feel the pain of summer's loss I'd love to have new years
And all the times I've missed my loss
It's just to keep you




Just to keep you
Here with me

Line by Line Meaning

Lie to me say you were wrong
Tell me that you were the one who made a mistake in our relationship, like you always have in the past


Like you have too many times
Just like the numerous times when you apologized and acknowledged that our problems were not my fault


And I'll believe it's not my fault
I'll take your word and stop blaming myself for our issues


Like I have too much time
I have been too patient and understanding, always waiting for you to make things right


So hear me now boy
Listen to me carefully and take this to heart


Stay alive 'cause that's the way it should go
No matter how difficult life can be, we should always strive to survive and overcome our struggles


Would your maker have opened your eyes
If God wanted you to suffer and not enjoy life, would He even bother giving you the gift of sight?


If he'd preferred them closed?
If God wanted to keep you in darkness, would He have made it easier by not giving you eyesight?


To feel the weight of summers lost
To remember and mourn the happy times that we have lost and can never get back


I'd love to have you here
I wish you were still with me, physically and emotionally


And all the times we've ever crossed
All the moments in our lives when our paths intersected


It was just to keep you here
I did everything I could to make you stay, even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness


To try to be something you are not
I made false promises and pretended to be someone that I'm not, all for the sake of saving our relationship


Like I have for you and promised too
Just like how you also tried to change for me and fulfill the promises we made


I know we'll get through this and won't
I am certain that we'll overcome our problems and not let them destroy us


Let you do it, so stop!
I won't let you give up on us, so you need to stop trying to push me away


And make believe that I'm not wrong
Pretend that I am right and not at fault in our relationship problems


'cause if I was
If I were the one responsible for everything wrong in our relationship


We'd all be gone!
Our relationship would have fallen apart by now


Nights without end seem to bleed into days
My days and nights are filled with endless pain and sorrow


Try to forget that it turned out this way
I try to forget how our relationship has gone downhill


I wear the mark of the permanent stain
I am forever marked by the pain and hurt of our relationship problems


Not accidentally, I cursed god's good name
I did not blame God by accident, I did it out of anger and frustration


I am still mortified yet believed in a way
I am still in disbelief and embarrassed, but I have faith that things will get better


That when my days are done
When my life is over and I pass away


We'll be in the same plane
We'll be reunited in the next life


With winters mean brimstone I set sail for Euphrates
I am embarking on a difficult journey, facing the harshest winter and sailing towards a faraway destination


All I can say is it's a god damned shame
All I can say is that it's a terrible tragedy


Just to feel the pain of summer's loss I'd love to have new years
I am willing to relive the pain of losing the happy times we once had, just so I can have a fresh start with you


And all the times I've missed my loss
I regret how much I've lost and how much I've missed due to our relationship problems


It's just to keep you
I'll do everything in my power to make you stay with me


Just to keep you
Even if I suffer, I'll keep holding on to you


Here with me
By my side, until the end of time
