Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you, belle of the ball and
hometown sweetheart, gifted
I want to tell you seize this day,
Let someone else go tend tradition,
Take what's yours
No one else can tell your fire, paint with your words,
sing with your voice,
Amelia, I see you all in white and lovely, blinded, by love
And he too, is beautiful, and young, and blind
I want to tell you he's the wrong man, you'll look
Back
You were told that this is what you want, but it will hurt you
(You can't live for someone else)
But you live
For me
For me
For me
He would do things to make your life easier
but never talk to you - know you at all
You were his showpiece,
charming as you entertained all his fancies
I wish I could have seized that day and torn it
from your history
(For me)
Now it comes down to a life that might have soared
(for me)
But I can tell your fire, paint with your words,
sing with your voice
Nobody can take what's mine
From me
From me
From me
From me

I recall seeing Amelisa on her wedding day, clad in white attire and giving off an air of beauty and grace, although blinded by love

He would do things to make your life easier but never talk to you - know you at all
Although he did things to make Amelisa's life easier, he didn't bother to really know or understand her, resulting in shallow companionship

I wish I could change Amelisa's history and prevent her from making a mistake that could have been avoided, for my own peace of mind and closure

Since we never know what could have been if she had taken a different path, I lament at the wasted potential that a different choice could have unlocked
But I can tell your fire, paint with your words, sing with your voice

Nobody can take what's mine From me. From me. From me. From me
Ultimately, nobody can take away my memories and emotions, nobody can erase the history and experiences that we both share
