Lyrics
You can find a way
You can find a solution or path forward.
To stop thinking about it,
Try to distract yourself from the issue.
When every minute is a lifetime.
Every moment feels exceptionally long and challenging.
The pain will go away.
The suffering will eventually subside.
You won't believe, but it's true.
The following statement is hard to believe but is accurate.
Just count the inches on your lifeline.
Measure the small positive aspects in your life.
And I hate to be the one
Expressing reluctance to deliver difficult news.
Telling you that everything's okay.
Assuring that things are fine despite challenges.
'Cause what kind of god would give you life,
Raising questions about the fairness of life's circumstances.
And take it all away?
Reflecting on the paradox of receiving life and facing its loss.
Oh, but I don't want to be in your life,
Expressing a desire not to be part of someone's life if unwanted.
If you don't.
Conditional willingness to be involved based on the other person's choice.
And I don't want to wake in your arms,
Not wanting to wake up in the embrace of someone who rejects you.
If you won't.
Conditionally desiring the person to be alive and present when needed.
Be alive when I need you the most,
Expressing the intention to grieve if the person passes away.
Not to say that I won't.
Reiterating the possibility of mourning despite prior statements.
Grieve a little when you pass away,
Anticipating sorrow upon the other person's death.
When you pass away.
Emphasizing grief after the person's demise.
You can find a place
Encouraging finding a positive perspective or situation.
And start thinking about it.
Suggesting contemplation when the timing is appropriate.
When every second is the right time,
Indicating that the pain will eventually diminish.
The pain will go away.
Reiterating the idea of time healing wounds.
You won't believe, but it's true.
Reaffirming the surprising truth of improvement.
Just count the inches on your lifeline.
Re-emphasizing the importance of positive aspects in life.
And I hate to be the one
Expressing reluctance to convey reassurance.
Telling you that everything's okay.
Assuring that everything will be fine despite difficulties.
'Cause what kind of god would give you life,
Raising existential questions about the nature of life.
And take it all away?
Questioning the fairness of life's potential abrupt ending.
Oh, but I don't want to be in your life,
Reiterating the desire to avoid an unwanted presence in someone's life.
If you don't.
Conditional willingness to be part of the other person's life.
And I don't wanna wake in your arms,
Expressing a reluctance to be close to someone who rejects you.
If you won't.
Conditional desire for the person to be alive and embrace you.
Tell me everything you needed to be,
Requesting open communication about the other person's needs.
Is everything that I am,
Affirming alignment with what the other person requires.
Everything that you fear,
Acknowledging and addressing the fears the other person has about you.
About me.
Repeating the specific fears the other person has about you.
What you fear about me.
Highlighting the recurring fears the other person experiences.
You'll come back for all the wrong reasons.
Predicting a return motivated by misguided reasons.
Maybe your life was out of season.
Suggesting that the other person's life may have been at a low point.
You can't breathe
Stating that life becomes suffocating without a purpose to live.
When you don't have a reason to die.
Expressing a desire for the other person to find a reason to live.
And someday soon when the memory has faded,
Anticipating a future where past grievances are defended.
We'll defend all the lives we once hated.
Committing to support and defend against former animosities.
And I'll be there, baby, glad that you made it alive.
Expressing joy at the other person's survival.
I don't want to be in your life.
Reiterating a reluctance to be part of someone's life if unwanted.
