Bitter
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Bitter Struggles and Emotional Currents
Lyrics
She said, Where would you like me to go
Asking where the speaker should go
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Expressing uncertainty or indecision
He has every reason to be angry but tonight it's alright
Acknowledging someone's justified anger, suggesting it's acceptable for the night
Well, maybe it's not alright but it'll wait 'til the morning
Recognizing that the situation may not be okay, but it can wait until morning
Leaping to conclusions and keeping tissues tight in his fist
Jumping to conclusions and holding tightly to emotions
No illusions of sleeping exists after issuing out his warnings
No illusions about getting sleep after issuing warnings
Where would you like me to go
Repeating the question of where to go
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty or lack of knowledge
She said, Where would you like me to hide
Asking where to hide
Out of sight? Out of mind? Out of pride in the way
Suggesting options for hiding with a play on words
He said, "Stay, you know I want you to stay
Expressing a desire for the person to stay despite difficulties
She's so quick to burn the bridges built between them stranding him there
Describing the quickness of burning bridges and leaving someone stranded
Misunderstanding him there before the water can rush beneath him
Highlighting misunderstandings before they can be resolved
All he's looking for's a stream of conscience he can ride to the shore
Seeking a clear conscience to navigate troubled waters
He was never unsure before
Contrasting the present uncertainty with past certainty
Now he's drowning in deep depletion
Feeling overwhelmed and depleted
Where would you like me to go? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Repeating the question of where to go with uncertainty
Please put away your keys or at least don't leave the one to our door
Requesting to put away keys, possibly to avoid leaving
I don't know I don't know, I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty or lack of knowledge
He said, Stay, you know I want you to stay but if you're going to be that bitter better
Expressing a desire for the person to stay, even if bitter feelings persist
She said, Shut up, don't interrupt...It's clear in the way you live, you're so over-sensitive
Asking the other person to be quiet and criticizing oversensitivity
And fear of me leaving's the sort of feeling that'll steer me away
Noting the fear of abandonment and its potential to push the person away
Where would you like me to go? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Repeating the question of where to go with uncertainty
She's stacked all their photos face down but packed the frames off to go I don't know, I don't know, I don't know He said, Stay, you know I want you to stay but if you're going to be that bitter better go
Arranging photos face down, preparing to leave, and suggesting departure if bitterness persists
Stay, you know I want you to stay but if you're going to be that bitter better go
Repeating the desire for the person to stay but emphasizing leaving if bitterness continues
Stay, you know I want you to stay but if you're going to be that bitter better go
-Stay, you know I want you to stay but if you're going to be that bitter better go
-Stay, you know I want you to stay but if you're going to be that bitter better go
