Unraveling Love's Needlework: A Tale of Pain and Weakness
Lyrics
I was never good at sewing
I lacked skill in dealing with emotional wounds or challenges.
Till I watched us unravel
My relationship fell apart, and I observed the disintegration.
And you begged me to stay so I picked up my needle
You pleaded for me to stay, prompting me to address the issues.
Labored for hours and hours over the holes you created Pricked my finger and bled out
I worked tirelessly to mend the damage you caused, enduring pain and bleeding.
While I prayed to be sedated
Amid the struggle, I wished for numbness or escape.
But you know you're my weakness
You are my vulnerability, despite my desire to dislike you.
I'd prefer that I hated you
I acknowledge that I should harbor resentment, but I can't.
I know I shouldn't be solving
I understand that I shouldn't be solving problems I didn't cause.
Problems I didn't start
I shouldn't involve myself in resolving issues I didn't initiate.
But you knew I would so you let me
You expected me to intervene, and I complied.
If your hands are clean nothing happened
If you are innocent, nothing detrimental should have occurred.
You know I've ever minded scars
I've never minded emotional wounds or past hardships.
Labored for hours and hours over the holes you created Pricked my finger and bled out
Repeated reference to the effort and pain invested in fixing the damage.
While I prayed to be sedated
Despite the pain, I yearned for relief or escape.
But you know you're my weakness
You remain my vulnerability, and I wish I could dislike you.
I'd prefer that I hated you
Reiterating the internal conflict of not wanting to feel affection for you.
Was I more than you could handle?
Questioning if I overwhelmed you, leading to the unraveling.
Cause now our thread is way too tangled
The relationship is too complicated and problematic to mend.
And I don't think that I can sit in another car that's parked
I can't endure another conversation about our failing relationship.
So we can talk about how its not working
Discussing the futility of talking about the issues, acknowledging they are unsolvable.
But I'd love you even if it hurt me
Despite the pain, I would still love you.
I've never minded scars
I've always accepted and embraced emotional wounds or hardships.
I don't want us to unravel
Expressing the desire to prevent further deterioration of the relationship.
