"Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down"
He finally decides to move on and forget about her.
"And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before"
She was left once before so she thinks it'll be easy for him to get over her when she walks out on him.
"I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word"
He was so in love with the bitch that he could read her mind and knew everything about her so insightfully that he could express his feelings and comfort her without ever saying a word.
"but Now all that is gone
Over with and done, never to return"
She left him and burned the bridge and all trust by cheating on him.
"and I can tell you why
People die alone
and I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun"
Because they never wanna feel that pain and rejection ever again. That's why people die alone. I can tell you because I'm a shadow on the sun. The darkness the hopelessness that no one can see. I walk around cheerful and bright like there is nothing wrong in my life while I'm dead and cold inside.
"Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned"
Always replaying events over and over in my head trying to pin down that one reason for her leaving and never finding it. It's just a hole in my soul that I'll never get back and it was so useless and pointless that nothing can be learned from any of it.
"I can tell you why
People go insane"
I've gone crazy several times from the emotional train wreck she's put me through and I'm sure Chris feels the same.
"I can show you how
You could do the same"
Just get yourself a Divorced 22y.o. bride and in 4 years you'll be just like me.
"I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun"
The end of the misery, the little reminders of her. Just when you think you've put it all behind, bam, there she is again. You've never let go completely, her memory still haunts you, it's fuckin 2013 already and she left your ass in 2002 wtf over????
"Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within"
Trapped in my own mind with thoughts of her.
"Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin"
Mark 10:8
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.
The man feels as I do. Torn and ripped apart from the one that was once his own flesh. The one who shared everything with him, thoughts, feelings, emotions. She truly lived inside his skin. Now Divorced he is a shell of a man, a shadow on the sun.
