People Come People Go
Oyku Dogan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She says to him don't ever go
But he's too selfish to do so
She feels so hurt, he broke her heart
If she could go back to the start

People come, people go
Seasons change, and we grow
We grow apart as we grow old
People cry, people smile
Sun goes down, stars shine bright
And through the dark we see the light
We see the light

She says to him talk to me
But he's too selfish to see
That he broke her heart a thousand times
If she could have seen all these lies

So you came, but you left
I still care, but I pretend
As if it was supposed to end
But it was just the beginning
I'm still thinking and thinking
Of the day I let you in

People come, people go
Seasons change, and we grow
We grow apart as we grow old
People cry, people smile
Sun goes down, stars shine bright
And through the dark we see the light

People come, people go
Seasons change, and we grow
We grow apart as we grow old
People cry, people smile
Sun goes down, stars shine bright




And through the dark we see the light
Through the dark we see the light

Line by Line Meaning

She says to him don't ever go
She pleads with him to stay, afraid of losing him


But he's too selfish to do so
He is too focused on his own desires to consider her feelings


She feels so hurt, he broke her heart
She is deeply wounded by his actions, feeling betrayed and abandoned


If she could go back to the start
She wishes she could rewind time and undo the damage that has been done


People come, people go
People enter and exit our lives constantly


Seasons change, and we grow
Time passes and we evolve and change with it


We grow apart as we grow old
Our experiences and priorities can lead us down different paths, causing distance in relationships


People cry, people smile
We experience a wide range of emotions throughout our lives


Sun goes down, stars shine bright
The natural world continues to operate around us, no matter what is happening in our lives


And through the dark we see the light
Even in our darkest hours, there is hope to be found


So you came, but you left
Someone entered her life briefly, but then left again


I still care, but I pretend
She still has feelings for this person, but pretends not to in order to protect herself


As if it was supposed to end
She can't shake the feeling that their relationship was doomed from the beginning


But it was just the beginning
Despite the pain and disappointment, there is always the possibility for something new to start


I'm still thinking and thinking
She is unable to stop obsessing over what happened and what could have been


Of the day I let you in
She is fixated on the moment when this person first entered her life

Ciao Oyku, dopo averti sentita al Fillmore Summer Festival ho cercato online un video dove suoni un tuo pezzo col pianoforte, da sola, accompagnandoti e cantando. Non l'ho trovato, sarebbe bellissimo poterne vedere uno su YouTube o Facebook, è la veste in cui ti preferisco. Complimenti, buon lavoro.

Oyku Dogan

Ciaoo!!! Infatti hai ragione, ho solo delle cover con piano e voce o dei video dal vivo, pero in questo periodo sto lavorando su dei nuovi pezzi e sto andando in quella direzione! Grazie mille e mi fa davvero piacere!! :)
