This song is about heartache, letdowns, and the effects of the past on the present.
lyrics
When you left me
You broke my heart
Never thought I'd have such a rough start
Now you've come back
More or less
But too much time is gone, I confess
A lifetime of heartache
A moment of truth
Another day waiting for you to come through
A life I can live without you
The way things are now
Clear the haze
From your eyes
Then you'll see the product of your lies
That's the choice you made
Aren't you glad?
Stop pretending that you feel so bad
A lifetime of heartache
A moment of time
We won't live forever
But dying seems fine
You're finally out of my mind
The way things are now
You still dote me
I tune it out
It's too late for you to scream and to shout
Now you love me
Heh...I suppose
Then return to me the time that you stole
A lifetime of heartache
A moment of tears
Can't stop these feelings
Of pain and of fear
It's hard to believe you're sincere
The way things are now
The way things are now
The way things are now
