You Know Me Better
Unveiling Vulnerability: "You Know Me Better" by All My Heart
Lyrics
I've been looking at the waves
The singer has been observing the waves.
And I think I see a break
They perceive a potential moment of change or a breakthrough.
I don't know if I can fight it
The singer is unsure if they can resist or oppose this change.
And with everything you say
The words spoken by someone hold significance.
Don't know if it's going to take
Uncertain if those words will have a significant impact.
If they're watching uninvited
There's a sense of being observed without invitation.
Don't make me stay
The singer is pleading not to be made to stay.
'Cause I'll fight you
Expresses readiness to resist or fight against something.
I've been pushing you away
The singer has been keeping someone at a distance.
If I don't I'm gonna break
Fearing emotional collapse if the distance isn't maintained.
I can't look into your eyes
The singer feels unable to make eye contact.
And with everything you say
Reiteration of the significant impact of spoken words.
Don't know if it's going to take
Uncertainty about the impact of these words.
If they're watching uninvited
Feeling observed without permission (repeated).
Don't make me stay
Requesting not to be forced to stay (repeated).
'Cause I'll fight you
Reiterating readiness to resist or fight (repeated).
Don't make me stay
Requesting not to be made to stay (repeated).
'Cause I'll fight you
Reiterating readiness to resist or fight (repeated).
You know me better than that
The person addressed understands the singer deeply.
You know me better than that
Reiterating the deep understanding between them.
You know me better than that
Reinforcing the mutual understanding between them.
So can I fall apart
Asking for permission to emotionally break down.
And I'll never take it back
Commitment to not retracting from the truth.
Everything was real
Affirmation that all experiences were genuine.
You know me better than that
Reiterating the deep understanding between them (repeated).
I made a sound falling down
An acknowledgment of making a sound during a fall or breakdown.
When you broke my heart
Referring to emotional pain caused by heartbreak.
And I'm hearing all the broken people sing
Sense of solidarity with others who are broken.
Can I fall apart
Asking for permission to emotionally break down (repeated).
You know me better than that
Reiterating the deep understanding between them (repeated).
You know me better than that
Reinforcing the mutual understanding between them (repeated).
You know me better than that
Reiterating the deep understanding between them (repeated).
So can I fall apart
Asking for permission to emotionally break down (repeated).
Yeah
Affirmation of the request to emotionally break down.
