Lyrics
The other day a friend of mine suggested
The other day, a friend recommended
A couple numbers for some therapy
Suggesting a few numbers for therapy
And I'll admit at first I half-protested
Initially, I resisted the idea
And we all know
Acknowledging that therapy comes at a cost
That shit's not free
Emphasizing the expense of therapeutic help
But someone's been strumming my bleeding heartstrings
Expressing emotional pain and vulnerability
I used to pride myself on being tough
Formerly priding oneself on being resilient
But it seems the more I open up about it
Sharing personal struggles more openly
Can't see myself
Unable to imagine letting go of someone
Giving you up
Reaffirming the difficulty of parting ways
Giving you up
Repeated emphasis on not giving up
My best friends say I should cut you off
Friends suggesting detachment from a person
But I don't wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Resisting the idea of stopping emotional investment
Even if I could change, would it be enough?
Questioning the potential for personal change
And I don't wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Despite the possibility of change, reluctance persists
I keep checking on your timeline
Frequent checking of the person's online presence
And yeah, I know that's not my cutest trait
Acknowledging a less admirable habit
Should just stop asking round if you're fine
Recognizing difficulty in avoiding concern for the person
Cuz when I do, can't get to sleep for days
Impact of inquiries on personal well-being
Like there's a part of me that needs to hold on
Feeling the need to hold on to a part of oneself
A part that doesn't really wanna change
Resistance to change, a desire to remain the same
Cuz if I lost my sense of sadness
Contemplating the role of sadness in personal identity
Would I grow up or fade away?
The fear of losing a sense of self
And now my therapist says
Advice from a therapist to sever ties
I should cut you off
Reiteration of the reluctance to let go
But I don't wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Emotional attachment to a "bleeding heart"
Even if I could change, would it be enough?
Doubtful about personal transformation
And I don't wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Continued emotional attachment despite doubts
Think I have control, but I don't wanna stop
Illusion of control over the situation
I've thrown out my phone, but I can't even stop
Attempts to distance oneself from external influences
If I go it alone, don't think I'll make it stop
The fear of facing challenges alone
But I don't wanna stop it
Desire to avoid stopping the emotional connection
I don't wanna stop it
Reaffirmation of the reluctance to cease emotional investment
And my best friends say
Friends repeating advice to disconnect emotionally
I should cut you off
Personal resistance to ending the emotional attachment
But I don't wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Despite potential change, reluctance remains
Even if I could change, would it be enough?
Commitment to persist in emotional connection
If I don't wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Reiteration of the commitment to a "bleeding heart"
