Lyrics
Arranging words into a collage of how I suppose I feel
Expressing emotions through a creative arrangement of words.
My mother always said that this was an effective way to heal
Referring to the therapeutic value of expressing emotions through art.
Still, I can't stop thinking of you and sometimes I don't know why
Reflecting on persistent thoughts about someone without clear understanding.
The crimes been done, the bodies bagged, can't face the truth to save my life
Avoiding facing the consequences or reality of a situation.
Was I too emotional
Questioning whether emotions were too intense or excessive.
Dying on the floor while you just brushed it off
Feeling emotionally devastated while the other person seems unaffected.
I thought you were gold and now you're gone
Believing the person was precious, but they are now absent.
I thought I spent you, I was wrong
Incorrectly assuming that emotional investment in the person was depleted.
It was the other way around
Realizing emotions were reciprocated in an unexpected way.
It was the other way around
Reiterating the reversal of emotional roles in the relationship.
Wringing out the sponge in the sink
Metaphorically describing wringing out emotions like a wet sponge.
It gets me quiet when I think
Finding solace in quiet contemplation.
About the pain a heart can soak
Reflecting on the pain that remains unaddressed.
That never has a place to go
Describing the emotional pain with nowhere to be released.
And how my brain is just so mean
Commenting on the harsh and polarized nature of one's thoughts.
Black and white, no in between
Seeing situations in extremes with no middle ground.
It soaks up all the words you said
Absorbing hurtful words without finding resolution.
And doesn't ring out anything
Retaining emotional baggage without finding closure.
Was I too responsible
Questioning whether responsibility was excessive.
Knew you broke my heart
Acknowledging a broken heart while still offering support.
And I still broke your fall
Believing there was time to mend the relationship, but it's too late.
I thought we had time and now it's gone
Mistakenly assuming the other person wasn't keeping track.
Thought you weren't counting, I was wrong
Realizing the misjudgment that the emotional effort was one-sided.
It was the other way around
Reiterating the unexpected reversal of emotional roles.
It was the other way around
Emphasizing the unexpected nature of emotional dynamics.
It was the other way around
Repeating the idea of reversed emotional roles for emphasis.
It was the other way around
Reiterating the unexpected nature of emotional shifts.
It was the other way around
Reaffirming the surprising reversal of emotional dynamics.
It was the other way around
Stressing the unexpected nature of emotional changes.
Heard that you've been going through some things
Acknowledging the other person's challenges with a hint of satisfaction.
I almost smiled cause you deserve it
Expressing conflicted feelings about the other person's struggles.
But I stopped myself, I know too much to think
Restraining oneself from taking pleasure in the other person's difficulties.
I'm not someone just as deserving
Acknowledging one's awareness of personal shortcomings.
So I've been going back in time
Reflecting on past experiences to find positive memories.
Inside my mind
Engaging in introspection to recapture positive emotions.
To all the good times lately
Remembering and cherishing good times as a source of trust.
To remember how to trust and that
Highlighting the importance of trust in relationships despite the pain.
Love is always worth the pain it carries
Affirming that love, despite its challenges, is worthwhile.
