(Verse 1) You ended it before I could, saw the look in your eyes Guess you caught the doubts I was burying inside Told me this was goodbye, a quiet kind of storm While I was missing who I’d been, you were keeping us warm (Chorus) I was half in, half gone, trying to hold on To a past life, an old song, I was torn all along Now I’m standing here alone, just a man misunderstood You ended it before I could (Verse 2) I was stuck between the lines, feeling half alive Afraid to be happy, like I’d somehow survive Told myself it was fine, just the way life goes But you saw through the cracks in what I didn’t show (Chorus) I was half in, half gone, trying to hold on To a past life, an old song, I was torn all along Now I’m standing here alone, just a man misunderstood You ended it before I could (Bridge) You’re probably walking that same old pier tonight The one where we laughed, where the world felt right While I’m here in this space, too big for my pride Knowing damn well I was happy but scared of the ride (Verse 3) Now the plants by your window, they’re just shadows to me And the photos I took, well, they’re ghosts I can’t see If I’d had the courage, maybe I’d have stayed But you pulled the trigger, knew I was halfway (Chorus) I was half in, half gone, trying to hold on To a past life, an old song, I was torn all along Now I’m standing here alone, just a man misunderstood You ended it before I could (Outro) Guess you knew better, yeah, you saw the truth Didn’t need my sorry excuses, my reasons untrue You walked away clean while I held on to rust Sometimes letting go means leaving the dust
Acoustic folk, country pop
English
The emotional tone of the song is one of melancholy and nostalgia, rooted in themes of regret and longing. It captures the painful dichotomy of wanting to hold onto the past while realizing it's time to let go, creating a raw and vulnerable atmosphere.
This song is suitable for introspective moments, personal reflection, or when someone is navigating through feelings of loss or heartbreak. It could also resonate during a breakup or while reminiscing about a past relationship, making it ideal for quiet settings or emotional playlists.
The song employs a straightforward narrative structure with a mix of vivid imagery and introspective language. The lyrical style features repetitive choruses that enhance the emotional weight of the verses and invoke a sense of universality in the feelings conveyed. The use of metaphor, such as comparing memories to 'ghosts' and emotions to 'shadows,' adds depth to the songwriter's reflections on love and loss.
A la mesa más noble, en la luz más dorada, los Gilbert brillan, de seda y espada. Ríen y brindan, se llenan la panza, mas nadie pregunta qué hay en la balanza. Dicen que orinan vino y sueltan fragancias, pero hay sangre en sus botas y mentiras de ansia. ¡Oh, familia tan noble, tan limpia y tan santa! Que susurros os siguen y la muerte os encanta. Dicen que el oro a la risa le sabe, mas susurros en sombras dicen que no es clave. Gilbert, oh Gilbert, de ojos de bruma, nunca taparán lo que oculta la luna. Su historia es de fiesta, de gala y poder, mas si miras de cerca, ¿qué alcanzas a ver? Cenizas, huesos, flores sin perfume, y el lodo en sus botas que mancha y consume. Un brindis, señores, por tanta elegancia, por secretos oscuros y fiel arrogancia. Que el bardo recuerde en su canto al viento lo que fue, lo que es, y lo que lleva el tiempo. Por Kvothe el valiente, trovador de verdades, por Laurian de risa y dulces saudades. Silenciados quedaron, su canto truncado, por órdenes de Gilbert, el noble envenenado. Mi padre y mi madre, sus voces murieron, mas el eco persiste, los vientos no mueren. Y aunque al fuego su historia lanzaron sin pena, mi laúd la rescata, que el olvido no es condena.
