Taking Back My Heart
Unraveling Love's Fragile Threads
Lyrics
It would be so easy, babe
Expressing that expressing love would be simple
To come and say I love you and
Acknowledging the ease of saying "I love you"
Pretend that this was all just a bad dream
Considering the option of pretending the difficulties are just a bad dream
We would dance a waltz around
Imagining a carefree dance around issues
Make a big smile right at the camera
Suggesting putting on a happy facade for others
Pretend that things are easy as they seem
Acknowledging the facade of simplicity in life
But there's a crack that's running through my heart
Revealing a metaphorical crack in the speaker's heart
I never knew that it was crystal
Realization that the love was fragile like crystal
That our love could be so brittle
Reflecting on the unexpected brittleness of their love
But it's looking
Observing signs of the relationship falling apart
Like it's gonna fall apart
Noting the impending disintegration of the relationship
And it was so nice baby
Recalling the pleasant moments in the past
But I'm afraid, I'm taking back my heart
Expressing fear and the decision to reclaim one's heart
We never wanted this to end
Expressing a desire for the relationship not to end
And it's so hard to understand
Expressing difficulty in understanding the end of love
When something that you love just disappears
Describing the sudden disappearance of a loved thing
We've been grasping at a shadow
Admitting to chasing after something intangible
Filled the void by talking louder
Trying to fill the emptiness with noise and distraction
Pretended the voice inside was just a fear
Pretending that inner doubts and fears are unfounded
But I feel like the curtain is coming down
Sensing the end approaching, like a curtain closing
And I think there's no surprise
Recognizing that the end was expected for a while
'Cause we've been knowing it for a while
Acknowledging prior awareness of the relationship's decline
And I'd wish
Expressing a wish to go back to the beginning
We could go back to the start
Recalling the initial stages of the relationship
And it was so nice baby
Reflecting on the goodness of the past
But I'm afraid, I'm taking back my heart
Despite the goodness, deciding to reclaim one's heart
But there's a crack that's running through my heart
Reiterating the metaphorical crack in the heart
I never knew that it was crystal
Reiterating the unexpected fragility of the love
That our love could be so brittle
Repeating the realization of the love's brittleness
But it's looking
Observing signs of the relationship falling apart
Like it's gonna fall apart
Noting the imminent disintegration of the relationship
And it was so nice baby
Recalling the pleasant moments in the past
But I'm afraid, I'm taking back my heart
Expressing fear and the decision to reclaim one's heart
