Dead to You
Dead to You: A Heart's Desperate Struggle
Lyrics
Should I smoke my last
Contemplating whether to consume the last cigarette
Put it all in the past
Putting past experiences behind
And pour out this bottle of booze
Considering pouring out a bottle of alcohol
Straighten up and fly right
Striving to straighten up and live a better life
Add years to my life
Seeking to add years to life by making positive changes
Or would I still be dead to you?
Questioning if these changes would make a difference in the eyes of someone significant
The last words you said
Reflecting on the lingering impact of the last words spoken by someone
Still ring in my head
Recalling that there's nothing left to change or improve
You said there's nothing left I could do
Being informed that efforts would be futile
You said I could bleed
Hearing that bleeding, begging, or pleading won't alter the situation
I could beg I could plead
Understanding the hopelessness of the situation
But I'd still be dead to you
Accepting that despite efforts, the connection is lost
I don't know why I'm thinking 'bout changing
Pondering a change in perspective or lifestyle
Writing new words to old songs
Considering rewriting the past or finding new meaning in old experiences
Guess I could try my hand at pretending
Entertaining the idea of pretending that the purpose for living still exists
That my reason for living's not gone...
Expressing uncertainty and doubt about the feasibility of such pretense
There's a tiny small voice
Listening to an inner voice suggesting limited options
Saying I've got no choice
Feeling compelled to take a drastic action
There's only one thing left to do
Acknowledging that there's nothing left to salvage
There's nothing to save, go ahead dig my grave
Conveying a sense of surrender and acceptance of one's fate
I'm already dead to you
Emphasizing the irreversibility of being emotionally disconnected
'Cause I'm already dead to you
Affirming the current state of emotional detachment
