Ballad Of Wendy Baker
Silent Heartache: Unveiling the Emotion in Ben Kweller's Ballad
Lyrics
I'm so quiet today
I feel unusually quiet today.
I don't feel like me
I don't recognize myself; something feels off.
Someone took your smile away
Someone or something has taken away your happiness.
Now it's gone and I can't see
The smile is gone, and I can't perceive it anymore.
No one loves til it's gone
People often don't appreciate something until it's lost.
I'm the one who likes change
I usually embrace change, but now I'm feeling unexpectedly taken aback.
But I feel taken by surprise
I'm surprised and disoriented by the current situation.
Let me rewind the things I say
I wish to go back and reconsider the things I said that caused pain.
That make it rain inside your eyes
Words I uttered are like rain, causing sadness in your eyes.
I keep missing you
I keep longing for you.
But my heart knows it's through
Despite the yearning, my heart acknowledges that it's over.
Don't wake up I'm here
Stay asleep; I'm here to shield you from emotional turmoil.
To keep you from the storm
I am a protector against the storms in your life.
I'll soak up your fear
I will absorb and alleviate your fears.
And keep your body warm
My presence will provide warmth and comfort to your body.
I keep missing you
The yearning persists, but my heart recognizes the end.
But my heart knows it's through
Despite missing you, I accept that it's time to move on.
Don't wake up I'm here
Stay in your peaceful sleep; I'm here for you.
To keep you from the storm
My role is to protect you from the emotional storms.
I'll soak up your fear
I will absorb and ease your fears.
And keep your body warm
My presence will provide warmth and comfort to your body.
I keep missing you
The yearning persists, but my heart recognizes the end.
But my heart knows it's through
Despite missing you, I accept that it's time to move on.
Nothing to hold onto
There's nothing left to cling to; it's time to let go.
My heart knows its through
My heart acknowledges that it's over; there's no turning back.
