Learn to Like Me
Unveiling the Bittersweet Symphony of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Learn to like me
Encouragement to develop an appreciation for the speaker
Get to know me spit me out
Take the time to understand the speaker's essence and then reject them
Ain't it a shame
Expressing regret or disappointment
The taste still lingers in your mouth
Memories of the speaker remain despite rejection
And you should know by now
Implying familiarity with a certain truth or fact
You won't ever get it out
Recognition that the lingering impression won't fade
Yeah you should know by now
Reiteration of the lasting impact
And you can see it in her hair
Observation of emotional cues in a woman's appearance
When she's happy she's not scared
Her happiness is indicative of fearlessness
And you can see it in his eyes
Observing something in a man's eyes
She ain't ever gonna die
Assertion that the woman referenced won't perish
You almost feel it but not quite
Nearly sensing or understanding something
You almost feel it but not quite
Repeated notion of almost grasping something
You want to feel it but you can't
Desire to experience a feeling that remains unattainable
You want to feel it but you can't
Reiteration of the longing for an unreachable sensation
Not when your eyes have frozen over
Describing frozen emotions, unable to feel
As if with hard candy coating
Comparison of frozen emotions to hard candy coating
Darling your eyes have frozen over
Repeating the idea of emotionally frozen eyes
As if with hard candy coating
Restating the comparison to hardened emotions
But the spring cuts you like a knife
Springtime metaphorically inflicts pain
And everything you see makes you cry
Emotional response triggered by everything seen in spring
Yeah the spring cuts you like a knife
Reiteration of the spring causing emotional pain
And everything you see makes you cry
Continuation of emotional sensitivity to surroundings
