When a relationship goes awry, all future plans being built together are ruined. Beautiful dreams become recurring nightmares, and broken hearts never seem to get mended even with the passage of time. Often, we find ourselves sitting alone in a half-empty room and hoping against hope that the pain will just go away.
My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
We think of the past and of the days when disagreements reigned. We realize the differences in personalities and how these can ultimately shape the course of an affair. The sun may be shining brightly for many, but for us, the rains hardly ever stop.
I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you,
I need some love to rain on me
We try to be strong because we want to believe that things will get better. All around us, life continues to roll, and despite how we feel, people simply move on.
I know I gotta be strong,
‘Cause ’round me life goes on and on and on
And on
In the end, we find comfort in crying, but even teardrops can come to an end. In time, we learn to embrace our tears as they help us reach that point when we make that one last cry, leave our past behind, and begin life anew.
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you out of my mind, this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I’m down to one last cry
