The Way Things Had to Be
Navigating Heartbreak: Commander Venus Unveils Desperation and Change
Lyrics
Why do we always end up like this?
Expressing frustration or disappointment about recurring situations.
The same position on the couch
Describing a familiar scenario of being together but feeling distant.
Staring into each other's eyes
Highlighting an intimate moment of eye contact, possibly seeking connection.
But do we have to talk about this now
Questioning the timing of discussing issues and emotions.
And do I have to feel like crying?
Expressing reluctance to experience emotional pain or vulnerability.
Because I
Introducing personal feelings and perspective.
I don't want to run
Expressing a desire not to escape or avoid the situation.
And don't come back again
Emphasizing a need for space or separation.
We could have avoided this
Regretting the outcome and recognizing the possibility of avoidance.
Five desperate hours pass
Describing a period of intense emotion or turmoil.
And now we know the truth
Acknowledging the revelation of a difficult truth.
That I can't learn to love you
Admitting an inability to develop love despite efforts.
So desperate I can taste it
Expressing a strong sense of desperation.
Wishing things were different
Wishing for a different outcome or circumstances.
But still I cannot change
Recognizing a struggle to change despite the desire for it.
Run, and don't look back again
Encouraging separation without looking back.
There's nothing left to see
Implying that there's nothing worthwhile in revisiting the past.
These empty months have proved
Reflecting on a period of time that revealed shortcomings.
My inability to treat you like you deserve to be treated
Acknowledging a failure to treat someone with the deserved respect.
But then you can't expect me to change who I am
Defending personal identity and unwillingness to change.
So from now on I will not
Committing to avoid vulnerability and dependence.
Leave myself open to needing someone
Rejecting the idea of leaving oneself open to needing others.
And trust is not the answer
Questioning the effectiveness of trust in the context of the relationship.
That's just what we do
Acknowledging a pattern of behavior, possibly negative.
When we can't stand to be alone again
Highlighting an aversion to solitude and a recurring need for companionship.
