Transcript

Sentimental days
In a misty, clouded haze
Of a memory that now feels untrue
I used to feel disguised
Now I leave the mask behind
Painting pictures that aren't so blue

The pages I've turned
Are the lessons I learned

Somebody bring up the lights
I want you to see
(Don't you feel sorry for me)
My life turned around
But I'm still living my dreams
(Yes it's true that I've been)
And through it all
I hit about a million walls
Welcome to my truth
I still love, love
Welcome to my truth
I still love

Tangled in a web
With a pain hard to forget
That was a time that I've now put to rest

Oh, the pages I've turned
Are the lessons I learned

Somebody bring up the lights
I want you to see
(Don't you feel sorry for me)
My life turned around
But I'm still living my dreams
(Yes it's true that I've been)
Through it all
I hit about a million walls
Welcome to my truth
I still love
Welcome to my truth
I still love
I still love

Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
And you know that I still love
Oh yeah yeah

Sentimental days
In a misty, clouded haze
Of a memory that now feels untrue

So, somebody bring up the lights
I want you to see
(Don't you feel sorry for me)
Oh you turned around
But I'm still living my dreams
(Yes it's true that I've been)
Through it all
I've hit about a million walls
So welcome to my truth
I still love, love
Oh somebody bring up the lights
I want you to see
(Don't you feel sorry for me)
My life turned around
But I'm still living my dream
(Yes it's true that I've been)
I still, I still love
I still, I still love.

Meaning

Two months ago, a girl wrote these words on a blog, and I agree with her:


To me, this song sounded as if it was coming from a woman who had suffered from domestic violence in the past, but she isn't afraid any more to stand up and tell people. I don't know if that was the intended meaning, I guess it could be about fighting breast cancer as well, but it just struck me as like that. Especially the "I still love" bit, it's as if she's come through this and is not afraid to try loving again.
