Closure
Skylar Dayne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do I get closure
Do I go back to the past and relive it
Or can I just say a prayer and forget it
Will I forget it?
‘Cause it hurts
All this time’s passed
And one word has triggered a floodgate of memories
From my past

And I don’t wanna relive the hard days
Thought I was over all the pain of heartache
But there are layers to grieving
It’s just a part of my being
Oh
Lost love just won't let me go
And I'm stuck looking at your ghost
Lost love just won't let me
Just won't let me
Just won't let me go
Lost love just won't let me go
And I'm stuck looking at your ghost
Lost love just won't let me
Just won't let me
Just won't let me
And I know it’s over
But how do I live like it’s over?
'Cause I keep finding myself looking online
To see how you might be spending all your time
And I don’t wanna relive the hard days
Thought I was over all the pain of heartache
But there are layers to grieving
It’s just a part of my being
Oh
Lost love just won't let me go
And I'm stuck looking at your ghost
Lost love just won't let me
Just won't let me
Just won't let me go
Lost love just won't let me go
And I'm stuck looking at your ghost
Lost love just won't let me
Just won't let me
Just won't let me go
And I’m just trying to make it through in my relationships
Not bring in extra baggage from the past with clothing that don’t fit
I wanna love well and just be myself, believe that I’m enough in spite of somebody else
Lost love just won't let me go
And I'm stuck looking at your ghost
Lost love just won't let me
Just won't let me
Just won't let me go
Lost love just won't let me go
And I'm stuck looking at your ghost
Lost love just won't let me

Just won't let me
Just won't let me go

How do I get closure
I'm struggling to find closure and I don't know how to achieve it

Do I go back to the past and relive it
Should I revisit my past experiences to process my feelings?

Or can I just say a prayer and forget it
Is it possible for me to let go without revisiting my past experiences?

Will I forget it?
Can I let go of my past and move forward without feeling burdened?

‘Cause it hurts
I'm feeling immense pain due to my past experiences

All this time’s passed
I've had time to heal, but it still feels like yesterday

And one word has triggered a floodgate of memories
A single word has brought back a lot of painful memories I thought I had moved on from

From my past
These painful memories are from my past experiences

And I don’t wanna relive the hard days
I don't want to revisit the difficult chapters in my life

Thought I was over all the pain of heartache
I believed I had moved on from the pain, but I haven't

But there are layers to grieving
The healing process has multiple stages, and I'm not through them all

It’s just a part of my being
The pain and memories are a part of who I am now

Lost love just won't let me go
I'm struggling to let go of my past love

And I'm stuck looking at your ghost
Your presence still haunts me and won't let me move on

Just won't let me go
I can't seem to free myself from the past

And I know it’s over
I understand that this love is in the past

But how do I live like it’s over?
I don't know how to move on from this relationship

Cause I keep finding myself looking online
I constantly check your social media profiles to see how you're doing

To see how you might be spending all your time
I want to know how you're moving on from the relationship while I'm still struggling

And I’m just trying to make it through in my relationships
I'm attempting to navigate new relationships while still healing from the past

Not bring in extra baggage from the past with clothing that don’t fit
I don't want my past experiences to negatively affect my new relationships

I wanna love well and just be myself, believe that I’m enough in spite of somebody else
I hope to love unconditionally without feeling like I need someone else's approval
