Love's Limit: Embracing Independence
Lyrics
Don't speak up too much
Cautioning against excessive outspokenness
Stay in line
Advising conformity or adherence to rules/norms
Keepin' it small, frail
Keeping things limited, fragile
Know this isn't who I am
Acknowledging a discrepancy between self and perceived persona
But love can be blind
Love can cloud one's judgment
Death begins with compromise
Suggesting that compromise leads to negative outcomes, possibly demise
In love with the potential of what this could be
Excitement for the potential of a relationship
You'd think I'd learn by now that this shit's not easy
Realization that relationships are challenging despite potential
Lined it all up without no possibility
Having organized everything but lacking hope or chance
That's what you get for wearin' your heart on your sleeve
Consequence of being emotionally open or vulnerable
Love is not enough to stay
Love alone is insufficient to sustain a relationship
I'd rather be on my own
Preference for solitude over an unsatisfactory relationship
Gonna trust my speed and show
Choosing to rely on one's own instincts and pace
Love is not enough alone
Emphasizing that love needs more than itself to thrive
Alone
Reinforcing the idea of being by oneself
Less of who I am for you
Compromising one's identity for someone else's comfort
In case I offend you
Fear of causing offense by speaking the truth
With something like the truth
Recognizing the deviation from initial plans due to love's influence
I know this isn't what I planned
Love's ability to blind one from initial intentions
But love is so blind
Linking compromise to the beginning of problems in relationships
Then you start with compromise
Empty line, no specific lyrical content
In love with the potential of what this could be
Excitement for the potential of a relationship (repeated)
You'd think I'd learn by now that this shit's not easy
Realization that relationships are challenging despite potential (repeated)
Lined it all up without no possibility
Having organized everything but lacking hope or chance (repeated)
That's what you get for wearin' your heart on your sleeve
Consequence of being emotionally open or vulnerable (repeated)
Love is not enough to stay
Love alone is insufficient to sustain a relationship (repeated)
I'd rather be on my own
Preference for solitude over an unsatisfactory relationship (repeated)
Gonna trust my speed and show
Choosing to rely on one's own instincts and pace (repeated)
Love is not enough alone
Emphasizing that love needs more than itself to thrive (repeated)
Alone
Reinforcing the idea of being by oneself (repeated)
