Lyrics
I want to tell you
I have a desire to communicate with you.
All of the things that you wish I would
I want to express the things you desire to hear from me.
Cause I don't say them
I often fail to say these things as frequently as I should.
Half as much as I should
I acknowledge my lack of communication.
But the more I try to
Despite my efforts to change, it seems you are growing distant.
Change myself the more it seems
Attempts to change myself are causing more distance.
That you are drifting
You are gradually moving away from me.
Further and further away from me
The distance between us is increasing.
You don't laugh
Your laughter has changed on the phone.
The way you used to on the phone
After the call, I will feel completely alone.
When you hang up
Loneliness intensifies when the call ends.
I will be entirely alone
I will be left alone after the call.
It'll hit me
The realization of loneliness will hit me strongly.
Like a ton of bricks as I lie awake
Like a heavy emotional burden, it will affect me while awake.
Eyes wide open
With eyes wide open, I reflect on every mistake.
Scrutinize every mistake I've ever made
I scrutinize all the errors I've made.
Protect yourself before you protect me
Prioritize your protection before mine.
I'll understand if you need a little space to breathe
I'll understand if you need space to breathe.
I'm terrified but don't let that influence your decision to leave
Despite my fear, let it not influence your decision to leave.
Just Leave
The suggestion to leave is given.
All these pipe dreams
Unrealistic dreams, unfulfilled promises, and deceit surround me.
Broken promises and lies
Broken commitments and falsehoods cloud my judgment.
Cloud my judgement
Most of the time, my judgment is clouded.
The majority of the time
Deceptive elements affect my decisions.
And when I'm lucid
During moments of clarity, I am still controlled by you.
I am still a slave to you
Even in lucid moments, I remain subservient to you.
I'll do anything
I am willing to do anything you ask of me.
You so much as ask me to
I am ready to fulfill any request you make.
Just ask me to
Expressing willingness to comply with your requests.
Protect yourself before you protect me
Prioritize your protection before mine.
I'll understand if you need a little space to breathe
I'll understand if you need space to breathe.
I'm terrified but don't let that influence your decision to leave
Despite my fear, let it not influence your decision to leave.
Don't sugar coat this for me
Request not to sugar coat the situation.
Don't sugar coat this for me
Reiteration: Do not sugar coat the situation.
Don't sugar coat this for me
Emphasis on not providing a softened version of the truth.
