Unraveling Love's What-Ifs: Paperskin's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Paper skin
Feeling vulnerable and fragile like paper.
Rips too hard
Experiencing intense emotional pain.
Piece by piece
Slowly falling apart, losing bits of oneself.
Creating scars I didn't need
Resulting in emotional wounds that weren't necessary.
You broke me
Being emotionally shattered by someone.
Rewrote my story
Having one's narrative rewritten by another person.
Now I gotta find the words to save my sanity
Searching for words to maintain mental well-being.
Forever stained with the question of “what if” on my lips tryna get a grip
Permanently marked by the lingering question of missed opportunities.
Cause what if we stayed together?
Contemplating the positive outcomes if the relationship had continued.
But what if we folded and surrendered?
Considering the consequences of giving up and accepting defeat.
Would we be happy?
Reflecting on whether staying together would have led to happiness.
Would it be too hard?
Questioning if the relationship would have been too challenging.
Or would the third time be the charm
Wondering if a repeated attempt (third time) would bring success.
That saves me from myself cause I keep reading everybody else
Seeking salvation from self-destructive thoughts by comparing to others.
Paint your words
Using language to express and convey emotions.
All over
Allowing another person's influence to cover one's identity.
My body for your entertainment
No longer preserving one's inner self, exposed for others' entertainment.
I’m no longer someone that’s sacred
Feeling a loss of personal sacredness.
Forever stained with the question of “what if” on my lips tryna get a grip
Continuing to grapple with missed opportunities and regrets.
Cause what if we stayed together?
Reflecting on the potential happiness if the relationship endured.
But what if we folded and surrendered?
Weighing the difficulty of continuing versus giving up.
Would we be happy?
Considering the hypothetical happiness if they had surrendered.
Would it be too hard?
Questioning if the relationship would have been too challenging.
Or would the third time be the charm
Contemplating if a repeated attempt (third time) would bring success.
That saves me from myself cause I keep reading everybody else
Seeking redemption from self-destructive tendencies influenced by others.
