Headlock
Fleeting Love, Lingering Pain
Lyrics
Call it off, do what you must to get by
Expressing a willingness to end or cancel something for personal survival.
But I won't give you no more of my time
Refusing to invest more time in a situation or relationship.
It's enough, don't wanna sit with the why
Desire to avoid dwelling on the reasons or causes.
But when you go, please take all my love for you
Asking the person leaving to take all the love the speaker had for them.
A welcome distraction
Referring to the person as a welcome distraction from a difficult situation.
From the mess I was trapped in
Acknowledging the person's role in helping the speaker escape a challenging circumstance.
You always found me when I needed saving
Highlighting the person's consistent presence during times of need.
No you didn't know it
Emphasizing that the person was unaware of their positive impact.
You were doing your own thing
Indicating that the person was pursuing their own interests without realizing the effect on the speaker.
But now you've got me in a reckless abandon
Describing the current state of intense, unrestrained emotions caused by the person.
I'm ready to run, run, run away
Expressing a readiness to escape or distance oneself.
Give it all up for you babe
Willingness to sacrifice everything for the person.
But if you're leaving let me know
Requesting clarity about the person's intention to leave.
(If you've gotta go) Oh
Reiteration of the request for the person to call it off if they are leaving.
Call it off, do what you must to get by
Repeating the call to end or cancel something for personal survival.
But I won't give you no more of my time
Reaffirming the decision to withhold further investment of time.
It's enough, I don't wanna sit with the why
Stating a refusal to dwell on the reasons for separation.
But when you go, please take all my love for you
Repeating the request for the departing person to take all the love.
I'm so drawn to ya
Expressing a strong attraction to the person.
You've got my heart in a headlock
Metaphorically describing being captivated or controlled by the person.
I fell in love with the way you lie to me
Having fallen in love despite the person's deceitful behavior.
It's not enough to deserve this misery
Feeling that the suffering is undeserved given the level of commitment.
Fated encounters, our cables are crossed
Describing destined meetings with complications and misunderstandings.
You're running, i'm tripping over every connection lost
Experiencing difficulties and misunderstandings in the relationship.
I know you've gotta go
Accepting the inevitable departure of the person.
Call it off, do what you must to get by
Repeating the call to end or cancel something for personal survival.
But I won't give you no more of my time
Reiterating the decision not to invest more time in the situation.
That's enough, I don't wanna sit with goodbye
Expressing a desire to avoid a painful farewell.
So when you go, please take all my love for you
Repeating the request for the departing person to take all the love.
You're dreaming if you think there could be another me
Challenging the idea that someone else could replace the speaker.
It's like you've got one foot in, you just won't leave
Observing the person's indecision and reluctance to fully commit.
You're in or your out, no middle ground
Insisting on clear choices in the relationship.
Take your empty words, you've been found out
Rejecting insincere or meaningless statements from the person.
You're dreaming if you think there could be another me
Reiterating the uniqueness of the speaker and the impossibility of a replacement.
It's like you've got one foot in, you just won't leave
Highlighting the person's indecision and reluctance to fully commit.
You're in or your out, no middle ground
Insisting on clear choices in the relationship.
Take your empty words, you've been found out
Rejecting insincere or meaningless statements from the person.
Call it off
Repeating the call to end or cancel something for personal survival.
Call it off, do what you must to get by
Reiterating the decision not to invest more time in the situation.
But I won't give you no more of my time
Expressing a desire to avoid a painful farewell.
It's enough, I don't wanna sit with the why
Stating a refusal to dwell on the reasons for separation.
But when you go, please take all my love for you
Repeating the request for the departing person to take all the love.
If you're done, just be done (All my love for you)
Encouraging the person to definitively end the relationship.
If you're done, just be done (All my love for you)
