Lyrics
It's not your stature
Physical appearance or status isn’t the determining factor
That tilts the scale
Other qualities beyond mere appearance are impactful
It's not your know-how
Competence isn’t what affects me profoundly
That whites me pale
It’s not your expertise that makes me anxious or fearful
Haven't you noticed, I so often succumb
I frequently give in to something
Playing the novice, I just suck on my thumb
Acting inexperienced, I retreat or act passively
I'm singing the harmony to the melody you hum
I’m harmonizing with your tune, following your lead
I march like a soldier to the beat of your drum
I move forward obediently like a soldier following orders
Anne Marie
Directly addressing someone named Anne Marie
It is all in your delivery
The impact lies in how things are communicated
But can you help that you belittle me?
Questioning if the person intentionally diminishes others
It's not your fault
Not blaming the person for feeling insignificant
I feel so small
Feeling emotionally small or inferior isn’t their fault
Anne Marie
Repetition of addressing Anne Marie
I call to question
Bringing into question a recurring pattern of negativity
This pattern of disease
Consistent inclination or tendency
A predilection
An inclination towards making severe judgments or orders
Of yet another harsh decree
Another instance of harsh criticism or instruction
There is a rhythm pulsing out of control
A rhythm or pattern going beyond control
Driving us swiftly away from our goal
Steering away from intended objectives or aims
Here in my heart , it's carving a hole
Feeling emotionally hurt, creating an internal void
Pounding me weak, penetrating my soul
Emotionally draining and affecting deeply
Anne Marie
Repetition of addressing Anne Marie
It is all in your delivery
The impact is in how things are communicated, again directed at Anne Marie
But can you help that you belittle me?
Asking if it’s deliberate that Anne Marie diminishes
It's not your fault
Not blaming Anne Marie for feeling small
I feel so small
Feeling emotionally diminished isn’t Anne Marie’s fault
Anne Marie
Repetition of addressing Anne Marie
Anne Marie
-It is all in your delivery
Impact is in how things are communicated, yet again to Anne Marie
I am trying now to help you see
Attempting to make Anne Marie see the situation differently
Are we working towards a better we?
Questioning if efforts are directed towards improving the relationship
Or am I shouting out a hopeless plea?
Questioning if the plea for improvement is futile
It is there in your delivery
Reiterating the impact of communication style
I am trying now to make you see
Continuing efforts to change Anne Marie’s perspective
It's not your fault
Not attributing blame for feeling small to Anne Marie
I feel so small
Feeling emotionally diminished isn’t Anne Marie’s fault
Anne Marie
Repetition of addressing Anne Marie
