Dear Rosemary Lyrics

You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me

I couldn't grow just living in the shadow
Where do you go when no one's following you?
You ran away, ran away it was right on cue

Shall I go on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on again?

Rosemary, you're part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, you're part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, please pardon me

Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die

Dear Rosemary
Dear Rosemary

You've got a way, got a way, got a way with things
You got away, got away, got away with things

False starts, young hearts get shattered
Pick up the pieces coming down around you
You ran away, ran away, it was right on cue

Can I go on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on again?

Rosemary, you're part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, you're part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, please pardon me

Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die

This was no ordinary life
(This was no ordinary life)
This was no ordinary life
(This was no ordinary life)

I'm here from now on
But once I'm gone
I'm gone

Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die

Dear Rosemary (dear Rosemary)
You're a part of me (you're part of me)
Dear Rosemary (dear Rosemary)
Please pardon me (please pardon me)
Dear Rosemary

You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me

What is the Meaning of Dear Rosemary?

This compelling piece by the Foo Fighters paints a vivid picture of a complex relationship. The song appears to be about a person named Rosemary, who has left a significant impact on the singer's life. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and regret, reflecting on how Rosemary got away and how she had a unique way of dealing with things that often led to heartbreak. However, despite the pain associated with these memories, there's also an element of acceptance and forgiveness in lines like "Rosemary, please pardon me". The repeated line "Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie/Youth ain't gonna change the way you die" suggests an understanding of inevitable truths in life and relationships.
