The Ordinary Man

Since that day, the two of us
Had a feeling, to some extent
About the day we’d part, not far away
Rather than trying to change
I wish it would just flow as it is
It’s been a while, this big love

Without anyone being different
The consideration of bringing up other topics
Has no strength left, oh
The steps we walked together
Started to misalign that day
The feeling of parting hit me suddenly

Is it a relief that our hearts are the same?
Was one of us hiding a false heart?
The introduction that doesn’t clash, isn’t awkward

If it just flows, it’s parting
Someone I won’t see again
Our season is coming to an end

Was I really that confident?
Will the memories leave me alone?
In the enormity of you that I didn’t realize
I learn from the nights I spent awake

Everyone leaves like that
A friend told me not to worry too much
Said it’s something everyone goes through
No, we’re different
I want to go back to that time
The ugly night is deepening
Is it a relief that our hearts are the same?
Was one of us hiding a false heart?
The introduction that doesn’t clash, isn’t awkward

If it just flows, it’s parting
Someone I won’t see again
Our season is coming to an end

Was I really that confident?
Will the memories leave me alone?
In the enormity of you that I didn’t realize
I learn from the nights I spent awake

I know well that it can’t be reversed
I hope it’s just a fleeting aftereffect
What’s different about me?
Just like everyone else
Regretting late and missing you

Maybe it’ll just end like this
Just one of the countless partings in the world
A common breakup from losing love
The ordinary man who’s been through it all.
