Then Again
Navigating Love's Uncertainties: Then Again by Brooke Annibale
Lyrics
take it all away
Expressing a willingness to let everything go
but then again please don’t
Reconsidering, asking not to take everything away
then again please don’t
Reiterating the plea not to take everything away
ever go
Requesting the person to never leave
i made up my mind
Deciding on a course of action
but on second thought
Having second thoughts about the decision
oh on second thought
Reconsidering again
maybe not
Uncertainty about the decision made
i know you’ve got plans
Acknowledging the other person's plans
but by all means
Encouraging the person to follow their plans
by all means
Emphasizing that they are not obligated to leave
you don’t have to leave
Expressing a desire for the person to stay
what have i done
Reflecting on past actions with regret
what did i do wrong
Questioning what went wrong
what didn’t i do
Reflecting on perceived mistakes
that i should’ve done
Expressing a sense of missed opportunities
i could let it go
Considering the option to let things pass
but on the other hand
Contemplating another perspective
on the other hand
Reiterating the consideration of another viewpoint
i’m holding on
Clutching onto something despite the option to let go
you could walk away
Giving permission to leave
as far as i’m concerned
Personal perspective on the departure
but as far as i’m concerned
Expressing the desire for the person to stay
you could stay
Wanting the person to remain
you keep finding
Continuously discovering moments of vitality
you’re feeling alive
Feeling alive in situations
in places you can’t stay
Realizing limitations in staying in those moments
you keep finding
Consistently finding a sense of aliveness
you’re feeling alive
Experiencing vitality in unspoken emotions
around words you cannot say
Feeling alive in unexpressed feelings
break my own heart
Willingness to hurt oneself emotionally
but then again who am i?
Questioning own identity and decisions
then again who am i
Reiterating the questioning of own capabilities
to even try
Expressing doubts about attempting
oh how do I know
Expressing uncertainty about time running out
i’m running out of time
Feeling the pressure of time slipping away
i’ve been running out of time
Continuing to feel time slipping away
that isn’t mine
Feeling a sense of lost opportunity due to time
