happy, but lonely
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Happy Yet Lonely
Lyrics
Slow down
Expressing a need to slow down, take a pause.
Not too late for us to, turn round
Opportunity for a turnaround still exists.
I don't know if I should say how I'm feeling
Uncertainty about expressing emotions.
Cause I'm really scared of losing it all (All)
Fearful of losing everything.
You know
Acknowledging a reluctance to let go.
That I'm not the type to let go
Highlighting a struggle to release.
Can't help it cause I'm
Caught up in thoughts, introspecting.
Here in my head
Internal turmoil, possibly regrets about a call.
Overthinking what I said on that call (Call)
Overthinking and analyzing a past conversation.
You and I, might make it if we tried
Suggesting a possibility of success if efforts are made.
But I know you're not fine
Awareness that the other person is not okay.
Do you fake it with a smile, and say you're
Questioning if happiness is feigned with a smile.
Happy, yeah, whatever that means
Expressing uncertainty about the concept of happiness.
But lonely, yeah, it ain't what it seems
Contrasting happiness with an underlying loneliness.
Keep waking, yeah, right up from my dreams
Continually waking up from dreams, facing reality.
And wondering if you'll come back at all
Questioning the return of the person in question.
No sleep
Insomnia or restlessness due to emotional strain.
I've been running low since last week
Low energy levels, fatigue since the previous week.
We've been living in a different time
Living in different emotional states despite claiming otherwise.
But we say we're fine
Maintaining a facade of being fine.
Cause we're both so tired of the daydreams, darling
Tired of idealized fantasies, seeking reality.
You and I, might make it if we tried
Reiterating the potential for success with effort.
But I know you're not fine
Reiterating the awareness of the other's distress.
Do you fake it with a smile, and say you're
Questioning the authenticity of a smiled facade.
Happy, yeah, whatever that means
Repeating uncertainty about happiness.
But lonely, yeah, it ain't what it seems
Emphasizing the disparity between appearance and reality.
Keep waking, yeah, right up from my dreams
Continuing to question the return of the person.
And wondering if you'll come back at all
Persevering through doubt about the person's return.
The more I think the less I say
Expressing difficulty in verbalizing thoughts.
I keep pushing you away
Actively pushing the other person away.
Wondering if I'd have stayed
Reflecting on the possibility of a different outcome if stayed.
What would that of really changed?
Contemplating the impact of staying on the situation.
The more I think the less I say
Reiterating the struggle in expressing thoughts.
I keep pushing you away
Continuing to distance emotionally.
Wondering if I'd have stayed
Reflecting on the hypothetical outcome of staying.
Would that make things so different?
Questioning if staying would have altered the situation significantly.
Happy, yeah, whatever that means
Repeating uncertainty about happiness.
But lonely, yeah, it ain't what it seems
Reiterating the contrast between happiness and loneliness.
Keep waking, yeah, right up from my dreams
Continuing to wake up from dreams, facing reality.
And wondering if you'll come back at all
Reiterating the uncertainty of the person's return.
