Take A Hint
Cracked Reflections: Unveiling the Bittersweet Dance of Love
Lyrics
Is it enough to say
Expressing a query about the adequacy of words to convey feelings.
That I want love, but in a different way
Desiring love but with unique expectations or requirements.
Not the kind that needs to be convinced
Rejecting a love that requires persuasion or convincing.
‘Cause I want you, but I want you to want this
Expressing a desire for mutual and genuine reciprocation in love.
cnd every time I get too close, I hear the repeating
Encountering recurring reminders when approaching intimacy.
Cruel reminders of the times I've felt this same feeling
Reflecting on past experiences of a familiar emotional state.
When I'm old & all my hair turns grey
Contemplating the future and reminiscing about unspoken words.
I'll look back on all the things I didn't say
Regretting missed opportunities to express feelings.
How your kiss was like warm water on my skin
Describing the sensation of a warm, comforting kiss.
But it ran cold, and I know how to take a hint
Acknowledging a change in affection and recognizing signals to back off.
cnd every time I get too close, I hear the repeating
Encountering repetitive reminders when trying to get closer emotionally.
Cruel reminders of the times I've felt this same feeling
Recalling instances of a recurring emotional experience.
Love don't lift me up to let down - it get's defeating
Highlighting the disappointment when love fails to meet expectations.
Crawling back to heart attack when I should be leaving
Feeling compelled to return to a harmful relationship despite better judgment.
cnd if my heart is made of glass
Symbolizing vulnerability and the risk of emotional pain.
Rest assured, you're gonna see the light refract
Assuring that the consequences of vulnerability will be evident.
Painting colors on the walls
Using art to express resilience against being labeled as fragile.
‘Cause who you call fragile, someone else just calls
Challenging stereotypes about fragility and strength.
cnd every time I get too close, I hear the repeating
Facing repeated reminders when attempting emotional closeness.
Cruel reminders of the times I've felt this same feeling
Reiterating the recurrence of a particular emotional experience.
Love don't lift me up to let down - it get's defeating
Emphasizing the discouragement when love falls short.
Crawling back to heart attack when I should be leaving
Struggling with the temptation to return to a harmful relationship.
Love don't lift me up to let down
Reiterating the theme that love, when disappointing, is disheartening.
