Cordelia
My Life As Ali Thomas Lyrics

Waking up to greet the sun
Starting a new day, hoping for a fresh beginning

But I don't know where you are hiding
Feeling lost and uncertain, unable to locate someone important

I saw you once your face a tint of gold
Recalling a past memory of seeing someone glowing with happiness and warmth

I'm kickin' up a dust storm
Creating a commotion, stirring up emotions and thoughts

Diggin' up a love lost
Trying to reconnect with a partner who has been absent or distant

Do you know if I'm still chasing ghost
Questioning whether the efforts of finding love are futile and hopeless

Cordelia
Calling out the name of the missing lover

Oh I'm still holding on
Refusing to give up on love and the person who is gone

Why have you gone
Expressing confusion and hurt about the partner's disappearance

Gone without trace
Feeling like the partner has vanished without any explanation or clues

I see myself standing in the dark
Feeling lost and alone, without clear direction or illumination

Repeating myself just what I did wrong
Analyzing past mistakes and trying to understand where things went off-course

I was selfish I know
Admitting to wrongdoing and acknowledging that one's actions hurt the partner

But you were so cold
Recognizing the partner's aloofness and seeming disinterest

It creeps up creeps up
Feeling a sense of dread and unease that intensifies over time

Ah I should have never let you go
Regretting the decision to end the relationship

I wear my best dress
Putting on a brave face, trying to appear confident and put-together

Sun and moon dress
Wearing something symbolic of light and dark, perhaps signifying mixed emotions

Skin my best dress
Feeling exposed and vulnerable, but trying to present oneself in the best possible light

Heart my best dress
Putting forth one's best effort to convey love and affection

Oh little red dress won't you show me what it's like
Asking for guidance and help in understanding the complexities of love

To pull you under this haze
Wanting to immerse oneself in the emotional fog of love

And lock you deep inside my chest
Desiring to keep the partner close and to hold onto the relationship indefinitely

Let it run through your veins
Hoping that the intensity of love will be felt by the partner and will bind them together forever

Like this poison I can't explain
Feeling like love is intoxicating and overwhelming but not quite understanding why

To love and to hold you
Desperately craving closeness and physical intimacy

Oh these feelings trapped inside my soul
Feeling like emotions are overwhelming and inescapable

Will ya ever know
Questioning whether the partner will ever truly understand the depth of one's feelings
