Since
Lost and Found Lyrics

The lyrics to Lost and Found's song "Since" convey feelings of longing, hurt, and frustration in a relationship where one person feels ignored and unappreciated. The first paragraph illustrates a sense of longing for the connection to be stronger, even in the afterlife ("I can't wait till I'm asleep / I can't wait till your asleep / In your coffin bed that I wish was mine"). The singer sees their partner lying comfortably, but feels a lack of understanding and communication ("I can't read your mind / Not that anything's inside"). The hurt caused by this disconnect is expressed, indicating that the singer doesn't want to be left out and wants to be let in emotionally ("You hurt me so / Don't wait up all night / Come on let me in").

The second paragraph highlights the frustration of feeling unheard and unimportant in the relationship. The singer feels left out and believes that their words are not being listened to ("I feel left out every time I speak / Because you don't listen to a word I'll say / You don't care at all"). The act of opening up to their partner is met with disappointment as they walk out without even acknowledging the singer's presence ("I opened up my door / You're walking out / Don't even bother to look at me"). The things the singer cares about are ignored and neglected by their partner, causing further emotional pain ("All the things that I do / The things that I care about / You just pushed them aside and never looked / Never looked once at all"). The singer questions the significance of their relationship and whether it holds any meaning at all ("It really doesn't mean anything at all?").

In the third paragraph, the singer pleads for understanding and validation. They want their partner to listen to them and respond with kindness ("Just a few kind words / Just a few kind words / To me"). Again, the lack of emotional connection is emphasized, as the singer reiterates that nothing seems to be going on inside their partner's mind ("Not that anything's inside / You hurt me so / Don't wait up all night"). The singer expresses their disappointment that their partner claims to love them but fails to demonstrate it in their actions ("You dare to say I love you / But you never showed it / You never showed it"). This lack of reciprocation leaves the singer feeling perplexed and questioning the meaning of their relationship ("Now I'm left wondering why / It really doesn't mean anything at all").

In the final paragraph, the singer apologizes for any hurtful things they have said or done in the past ("I'm sorry for the awful things that I've said / I'm sorry for making you cry"). They express their desire to hear similar words of apology and to be forgiven by their partner ("I wish I could hear those words from you / I'm sorry / Plead for forgiveness"). This plea indicates a last effort to salvage the relationship by acknowledging past mistakes and seeking reconciliation.

In conclusion, "Since" explores the themes of longing, hurt, and frustration in a relationship where one person feels unheard and unimportant. The lyrics express the desire to be understood, the pain of being ignored, and the hope for genuine love and forgiveness.
