What I Want
Embracing Closure and Moving On: What I Want by Anna Burch
Lyrics
The inevitable run-in at the bar
The inevitable encounter at the bar
I was sulking and regretting going out
Feeling disappointed and regretful about going out
We got to talking and I started to feel better
Engaging in conversation, which improves the mood
That stabbing hatred for you suddenly felt softer
The intense hatred for the person softens
You said it's springtime and you're doing a bit better
The person mentions it's spring and they are feeling better
You even found yourself another brother
The person has found a new connection or friend
I guess I could find one too
Expressing openness to finding a new connection or friend
I guess I could find one too
-I won't play the victim just because I can't get what I want
Refusing to play the victim just because desires are unmet
I won't play the victim just because I can't get what I want
-Isn't it nice to have a little bit of closure
Appreciating closure instead of negativity
Instead of talking shit and throwing a cold shoulder
Rejecting gossip and animosity in favor of closure
I want to be nice to you
Expressing a desire to be kind to the person
I want to be nice to you
-Self-destruction is so played out
Rejecting destructive behavior as outdated
So is self-pity and self-doubt
Rejecting self-pity and self-doubt as outdated
Let's try to be okay
Encouraging a positive approach to the situation
Let's try to be okay
-I won't play the victim just because I can't get what I want
Reiterating the refusal to play the victim over unmet desires
I won't play the victim just because I can't get what I want
-I won't play the victim just because I can't get what I want
-I won't play the victim just because I can't get what I want
-Oh, oh
Expressive interjection, possibly indicating realization or emotion
