When I Tell You
Fortunes Change, But Shadows Remain
Lyrics
Oh you tell me
Expressing frustration or disbelief from a conversation partner.
It had to be
Acknowledging that certain events are inevitable.
My shit luck that's dragged me down
Describing a series of unfortunate events that have affected the speaker.
There's always something else, I can't keep blaming myself
Realizing there's always something else to blame, and self-blame is unsustainable.
I'm tripping up and hitting the ground
Experiencing repeated failures or setbacks.
Oh where's my luck
Expressing a sense of bad luck or misfortune.
Where's my chance
Questioning the absence of opportunities or favorable circumstances.
I can't keep chasing this anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Expressing exhaustion and frustration in pursuing something.
It's always something that's stuck on my mind
Constantly preoccupied with troublesome thoughts.
And I can't change it even if I wanted to
Feeling powerless to change a situation.
I've tried and I've said it a million times
Expressing repeated attempts to communicate or alter circumstances.
Why don't you believe me when I tell you
Questioning the listener's disbelief despite sincere communication.
This wasn't part of the script
Unexpected events deviating from planned or expected outcomes.
Where are we going with this
Expressing uncertainty about the direction of a situation.
I'm feeling lost but I'm wanting more
Feeling disoriented but desiring more from the current circumstances.
Now that my fortunes changed
Noting a change in fortune but experiencing emotional stagnation.
Why do I still feel the same
Expressing a disconnect between external changes and internal emotions.
Keep tripping up and hitting the ground
Continuing to face challenges and stumbling in life.
Oh where's my luck
Reiterating a sense of bad luck or misfortune.
Where's my chance
Questioning the absence of favorable circumstances or opportunities.
I can't keep chasing this anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Expressing exhaustion and frustration in pursuing something (repeated).
It's always something that's stuck on my mind
Continuing to be preoccupied with troublesome thoughts (repeated).
And I can't change it even if I wanted to
Reiterating a feeling of powerlessness to change a situation.
I've tried and I've said it a million times
Repeating attempts to communicate or alter circumstances.
Why don't you believe me when I tell you
Reiterating frustration at the listener's disbelief despite sincere communication.
It's always something that's stuck on my mind
Continuing to be preoccupied with troublesome thoughts (repeated).
And I can't change it even if I wanted to
Reiterating a feeling of powerlessness to change a situation (repeated).
I've tried and I've said it a million times
Repeating attempts to communicate or alter circumstances (repeated).
Why don't you believe me when I tell you
Expressing continued frustration at the listener's disbelief despite sincere communication (repeated).
Why don't you believe me when I tell you
Questioning the persistent disbelief despite sincere communication (repeated).
Why don't you believe me when I tell you
Reiterating the frustration with the listener's persistent disbelief despite sincere communication (repeated).
