When
Nikki Flores Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And nothings ever been the same
Only in dreams will I be your embrace your Smileing face again
And i dont know if ill get through another night
Alone theres no one who make me feel the way you do
When will my longing for you end
When will the sun rise up again
When will this pain never subside
When will i be strong enough to fight
It's time to realize that your gone
And theres nothing I can do
Sometimes I close my eyes to see
The ways things use to be
It's all for me to let it all go
This way to end the story here
But I will always hold on to what we used to have
Cause I, I know eventually my life will carry on
When will my longing for you end
When will the sun rise up again
The voices in my head got me asking over and over
When will this pain never subside
When will I be strong enough to fight
It's time to realize that your gone
And theres nothing I can do
When ever a light is barely comming through
The glammour of hope desipates when I think of you
Tell me where do I go
Tell me when will I know
When will my longing for you end
When will the sun rise up again
The voices in my head got me asking over and over
When will this pain never subside
When will I be strong enough to fight
It's time to realize that your gone
And theres nothing I can do
When will my longing for you end
When will the sun rise up again
The voices in my head got me asking over and over
When will this pain never subside
When will I be strong enough to fight
It's time to realize that your gone
And theres nothing I can do

It's been a while since you've been gone
It has been a long time since you left me
And nothings ever been the same
Everything has changed since you left
Only in dreams will I be your embrace your Smiling face again
I can only see you in my dreams and hold you in my arms
And i dont know if ill get through another night
I am not sure if I can survive another night without you
Alone theres no one who make me feel the way you do
No one can make me feel the way you did when you were here
When will my longing for you end
I wonder when I will stop longing for you
When will the sun rise up again
When will things get better for me
The voices in my head got me asking over and over
My mind keeps asking these questions again and again
When will this pain never subside
When will this pain go away completely
When will i be strong enough to fight
When will I find the strength to move on
It's time to realize that your gone
It's time for me to accept that you are no longer here
And theres nothing I can do
There is nothing I can do to change the situation
Sometimes I close my eyes to see
Sometimes I try to remember what we had
The ways things use to be
How things were before you left
It's all for me to let it all go
It's difficult for me to move on and let go of the past
This way to end the story here
Maybe it's time for me to close this chapter of my life
But I will always hold on to what we used to have
I will never forget the love we shared
Cause I, I know eventually my life will carry on
I know that life will go on eventually
When ever a light is barely coming through
Whenever there is a glimmer of hope
The glamour of hope dissipates when I think of you
But that hope fades away when I think of you
Tell me where do I go
I don't know where to go from here
Tell me when will I know
When will I find the answers I am looking for

I remember when I first heard this song back when I was younger.... almost 2019 and I still love this song and remember the pain too. 😒 But I am happy to say I am much better now. So anyone who know how it feels to have your heart ripped out more than once and stomped on and put back together.....just to get ripped again. Remember you will be able to live with the pain and grow from it. Bittersweet memory for me associated with this song. You will make it. You learn and grow and don’t forget. When is all of matter of time. It took me a long time, but it came.
