Carry the Sorrow
Echoes of Betrayal: Navigating Love's Broken Paths
Lyrics
This time I'm on to you
This time, I understand your intentions or actions.
You should know this time it's personal
Emphasizing that the situation is personal and significant.
I'm not immune to your disease and you found
Acknowledging vulnerability to the other person's negative influence.
A thousand ways to make me bleed
Listening the numerous ways the other person has hurt emotionally.
And so I start again
Starting anew despite past hardships.
And think of me however you like
Encouraging the other person to form their opinion about the speaker.
You brought me to my knees it's alright
Admitting the impact of the other person's actions, possibly in a negative way.
I need a reason to believe
Expressing a need for a compelling reason to believe in the relationship.
Until then I'll carry the sorrow.
Despite uncertainties, carrying the emotional burden until finding a reason to believe.
We've been living here on borrowed time
Highlighting a sense of precariousness in the current situation.
Never knowing if it's our last mistake
Living in uncertainty, unsure if actions will lead to irreversible consequences.
Draw the battle lines and wait till you break
Preparing for conflict and waiting for a breaking point.
You'll always be a part of me
Acknowledging a lasting connection with the other person.
If I cant find a way,
Expressing a challenge in finding a solution or resolution.
If I cant' change the locks in your heart
Frustration at being unable to change the other person's feelings.
There's nothing more to say it's all gone I need a reason to believe
Conveying a sense of finality, stating that everything is gone.
Until then I'll carry the sorrow
Continuing to carry the emotional burden until a reason to believe emerges.
And I'll make it a part of myself
Internalizing the sorrow and making it a part of oneself.
We've been living here on borrowed time
Reiterating the precarious nature of the current living situation.
Never knowing if it's our last mistake
Reinforcing the uncertainty about the consequences of actions.
Draw the battle lines and wait till you break
Preparing for conflict and waiting for a breaking point (repeated theme).
You'll always be a part of me
Emphasizing the enduring connection with the other person.
There was a way you could've changed my mind
Reflecting on missed opportunities to change the course of events.
That was yesterday and yesterday's gone
Acknowledging that the past cannot be altered.
Where does love go when it's all gone wrong?
Pondering the destination of love when everything goes wrong.
You'll always be a part of me
Reaffirming the enduring connection with the other person.
What you say and what you do, I don't believe
Doubting the sincerity of the other person's words and actions.
Cut me open watch me bleed
Challenging the other person to witness the emotional pain caused.
What you say and what you do, I don't believe
Reiterating the disbelief in the other person's words and actions.
Caught you lying through your teeth.
Accusing the other person of deceit.
