The Way I See You
Unveiling Longing: Seeking Recognition in Silence
Lyrics
I thought I had my freedom
I believed I had freedom in the relationship
You didn't even ask
You didn't seek my opinion or consent
It hit me like a shotgun
An unexpected realization struck me intensely
Like a cannon blast
It hit me with great force, like a powerful explosion
You are so elusive
You are hard to understand or connect with
Why you gotta be so detached?
Questioning why you keep a distance emotionally
But from the corner of you eye
Despite your emotional distance, I noticed a fleeting gaze from you
I thought I saw you look my way
I perceived a moment when you seemed to look in my direction
Did you see me looking back?
Wondering if you noticed me looking back at you
Oh, I just want to know
Expressing a desire to understand the truth
Baby, do you see me
Questioning if you truly acknowledge my existence
The way I see you?
Asking if you perceive me the way I perceive you
And why do you give me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the limited emotional connection received
So little of you?
Wondering why you share so little of yourself
I'm out here on thin ice
Feeling vulnerable and uncertain, hoping not to get hurt
Hoping I won't break through
Using the metaphor of thin ice, expressing the fear of emotional breakdown
You can say you are naive
Acknowledging a possible naive perception, but suspecting you are aware of the reality
But I think you know the truth
Believing you understand the true nature of the situation
You've made a prisoner of me
Feeling confined or restricted by the relationship
But I'm holding onto the belief
Despite feeling trapped, holding on to the hope that things will improve
That my time is almost through
Believing that the difficult phase will come to an end soon
Oh, yeah I just want to know
Reiterating the desire to understand the truth of the situation
Baby, do you see me
Asking once again if you perceive me as I perceive you
The way I see you?
Repeating the question about mutual perception for emphasis
