The world has turned and left me here

One of my favourite songs when I was twenty-something was this one: "The world has changed and left me here", by Weezer. At that time I did not fully understand the lyrics, but I loved the song anyway. Some years later, I read the lyrics of this song and they perfectly fit in how I'm feeling these days:

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face

I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said

You remain turned away
Turning further every day

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face

I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't

You remain turned away
Turning further every day

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face

You remain, turned away
Turning further every day

The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face

Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?

Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?

It's amazing how someone in the USA could express the feelings of a Spaniard years before, word by word. But don't panic, I'm not the first one in this situation and I'm doing my best to get over it.
