Because Of Who You Are
Paul D. Allen Lyrics

It's been a while since I've seen you
A significant amount of time has passed since I last had the opportunity to see you

It's been a while since you've seen me
It has also been a considerable duration since you have had the chance to see me

It's been a while since we were happy as can be
There has been a long period of time since we experienced complete happiness together

It's been a while since I wished upon a shooting star
I have not made a wish upon a shooting star in quite some time

It's been a while since we were close rather than far apart
We have not been as physically and emotionally close as we used to be for quite a while

It's been a while since I said your name out loud
A significant amount of time has passed since I last uttered your name audibly

And I'm not gonna start again now
I have made the decision not to resume saying your name out loud at this time

Cause you know who you are
Because you possess a clear understanding of your own identity

That shooting star went and fell from the skies
The shooting star in question descended from the skies

And I'm not gonna think twice
I have no intention of reconsidering my decision regarding this matter

Because you know who you are
Since you have a firm grasp on your own identity, there is no need for further contemplation

Clouds fade away just as fast as they block out the Sun
Clouds have a tendency to dissipate quickly, much like their ability to obstruct the Sun's rays

I know it's strange, people change, but honey that's everyone
It may seem peculiar, but change is a normal occurrence for all individuals, my dear

Inspiration, condensation, and a little bit of heartbreak will do
A combination of motivational influence, the process of water vapor turning into liquid, and a small amount of emotional pain can have a significant impact

It's been a while since we talked, but the license is still right there to renew
Although it has been a while since we engaged in conversation, the opportunity to resume communication is still readily available

Just so you know who you are
This is simply to ensure that you remember and remain aware of your own true identity

That shooting star didn't have far to fall
The shooting star in question did not have a great distance to descend

No, it didn't take long at all
In fact, the descent occurred quite rapidly

It fell apart
Our relationship disintegrated

We fell apart
Both of us contributed to the deterioration of our bond

Fell apart, dimmed the spark, and return to sender
As our relationship crumbled, the passion between us fizzled out, and ultimately, we retreated back to our previous states

Breakups and makeups and too much of "Love Me Tender"
A series of separations and reconciliations, accompanied by excessive affection and sentimentality

Woah
Expressing surprise or awe

Down from the sky
Descending from the celestial heavens

Now I see why
In this moment, I am able to comprehend the reason behind certain events

It's so hard to see you
It has become extremely challenging for me to perceive you

That shooting star was the Sun
Metaphorically, the shooting star represents the Sun

And it fell and left the world all dark and cold
Upon its descent, the shooting star caused the world to become devoid of light and filled with a chilling atmosphere

The prescription has expired and the light and the love
The prescribed remedy for our relationship has reached its expiration date, resulting in the loss of both illumination and affection

Now they've both grown old
Both the light and the love that once existed between us have become worn out and aged

Cause we thought we knew
Because we held the belief that we possessed knowledge

Knew who we were
We were confident in our understanding of our respective identities

That door wasn't slammed, it was burned to floor
The closure of the metaphorical door representing our relationship was not a forceful slam, but rather a complete destruction of the door itself

But now I'm not sure anymore
However, at present, I find myself filled with uncertainty

Even a blind man could see what we've turned out to be
Our current state and the outcome of our relationship are so evident that even someone without sight could perceive them

But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
However, I suppose it is no longer of significance

Cause you know who you are
Since you possess a clear understanding of your own identity

You know who you are
You have a firm grasp on your own identity
