Ray Lyell & the Storm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think about that
That goddamn night
You just said goodbye
Love of my life
Please stay this night
All was a lie
You gave me your back
When I needed you here
Time was the excuse
For you to leave me
I thought that I was
Doing things right
Love me again
And fight for me
You just pulled out all our pages
Throwing all that to the trash
Now I see your selfish side
Why'd you let me go?
I hurt you said, that's a lie
You had my heart in the palm of your hand
I did my best
So why'd you let me go?
Now that I'm here
Singing to you
Everyone knows
That I still love you
But I have realized
That I must go on
Thanks for everything
Goodbye rose of mine
You just pulled out all our pages
Throwing all that to the trash
Now I see your selfish side
Why'd you let me go?
I hurt you said, that's a lie
You had my heart in the palm of your hand
I did my best
Why'd you let me go?
I hurt you said, that's a lie
You had my heart in the palm of your hand
I did my best
So why'd you let me go?

When I'm alone
In moments of solitude
I think about that
Reflecting on a past event
That goddamn night
Referring to a specific night that had a negative impact
You just said goodbye
Being left by someone dear
Love of my life
Addressing a significant other
Please stay this night
Pleading to remain together
All was a lie
Feeling deceived
What did I do wrong?
Questioning actions that led to the current state
You gave me your back
Being abandoned and left alone
When I needed you here
At a time when support was necessary
Time was the excuse
Time given as the cause
For you to leave me
For a loved one to walk away
I thought that I was
Believing one had done well
Doing things right
Approaching a situation correctly
Love me again
Asking for reconciliation and a renewed love
And fight for me
Requesting effort to make a relationship work
You just pulled out all our pages
Discarding all that was shared
Throwing all that to the trash
Disposing of all that was previously valued
Now I see your selfish side
Recognizing a partner's self-centered nature
Why'd you let me go?
Asking a loved one why they left
I hurt you said, that's a lie
Denying accusations of inflicting pain
You had my heart in the palm of your hand
Having complete control and influence over another's emotions
I did my best
Giving one's all in a relationship
Now that I'm here
Being present in the moment
Singing to you
Communicating through music
Everyone knows
Being aware of the obvious
That I still love you
Maintaining affection even after separation
But I have realized
Coming to a newfound understanding
That I must go on
Acknowledging the importance of personal growth
Thanks for everything
Appreciating past experiences with a partner
Goodbye rose of mine
Saying farewell to a significant other
