In between
Navigating Love's Limbo: In Between by Ashland Craft
Lyrics
You never come home with flowers just because
You don't express affection spontaneously with gestures like bringing flowers.
And you never call me unless I call you first
You rarely initiate communication; I have to reach out first.
We don't talk about forever, like we used to do
We no longer discuss a long-lasting future as we once did.
It ain't fair to me, and it ain't fair to you
The current situation is unjust for both of us.
All this push and pulling, we ain't getting nowhere
Our relationship involves constant struggles, but we're not progressing.
You're lying next to me, but you ain't really there
You're physically present, but emotionally distant.
Why am I scared of being lonely, when lonely is all I feel, oh
I'm afraid of being alone, despite feeling lonely already.
We don't wanna stay but we're too scared to leave
We want to move on, but fear prevents us from doing so.
We're stuck in this in between
We are trapped in a state of indecision and uncertainty.
We talk, but we don't have a conversation
We communicate, but meaningful conversations are lacking.
You say you hear me, but you don't ever really listen
You claim to understand, but you don't truly listen.
Oh, you stay because it's easy, but I don't want to be convenient
You stay because it's convenient, but I desire more than convenience.
Love me or leave me, you just gotta choose
It's time for a clear decision: either love me genuinely or let me go.
'Cause all this push and pulling, we ain't getting nowhere
We're caught in a cycle of conflict without resolution.
You're lying next to me, but you ain't really there
Physically close, but emotionally distant, echoing a recurring theme.
Why am I scared of being lonely, when lonely is all I feel, oh
Fear of loneliness persists, despite already feeling isolated.
We don't wanna stay but we're too scared to leave
We want to move on, but uncertainty holds us back.
Oh, we're stuck in this in between
We are stuck in a state of indecision and limbo.
Stuck in this in between
Emphasizing the feeling of being stuck in an unresolved situation.
Oh, just enough ain't good enough
The current level of effort is insufficient.
We're spinning wheels on worn out love
We're not making progress; our relationship is stuck.
Baby, this goodbye is overdue
Acknowledging that it's time to say goodbye, implying a breakup is overdue.
All this push and pulling, we ain't getting nowhere
Reiteration of the lack of progress in the relationship.
You're lying next to me, but you ain't really there
Physical presence without emotional connection persists.
Why am I scared of being lonely, when lonely is all I feel, oh
The fear of loneliness remains, overshadowing the current emotional state.
We don't wanna stay, but we're too scared to leave, oh
Desire to move on clashes with the fear of the unknown.
Don't wanna walk away, but baby I can't be
Reluctance to walk away despite acknowledging the necessity.
Stuck in this in between
Reiteration of being trapped in an indecisive state.
Mm, stuck in this in between, mm
Reaffirmation of feeling stuck in an unresolved situation.
