Lovebird
Unveiling Love's Bittersweet Symphony: Cool Boy Jon's Revelations
Lyrics
I was your lover-boy
I played the role of your lover-boy
Afraid that I'd wind up alone
I feared the possibility of ending up alone
I was overjoyed
I felt immense joy
To think that you'd wind up in
I was hopeful that you would end up exclusively with me
Only my arms
Expressing desire for exclusivity in our relationship
Only my arms
Reiterating the desire for exclusivity
So I pushed and I shoved my way into your life and to your heart
I forcefully entered your life and heart
Oh and I think that I understand now
Expressing a newfound understanding
What I couldn't before
Reflecting on past misunderstandings
I want you to love
Expressing the desire for love
And I need to believe
Stating the need to believe
There is a meaning to everything
Believing in the meaning behind everything
One day when you're playing for keeps
Anticipating a future where commitment is serious
I know you'll find
Confident that you will discover
Your lovebird
Referring to a significant other as a "lovebird"
And it won't be me
Acknowledging it won't be him
Was I irreverent
Questioning if he was disrespectful
To all that was holy in you
Disregarding what was sacred in the relationship
Was it evident
Wondering if his withholding of truth was apparent
That I was withholding the truth
Acknowledging the mutual understanding of the situation
We both knew
Recognizing the limitations of the relationship
What could we do
Acceptance of the unavoidable
So I twist my stomach up in knots and make you live a lie
Tormenting himself and forcing you to live a lie
I think I know who I am now
Claiming a newfound self-awareness
I didn't know when I walked out your door
Not realizing his identity when leaving
I think that I understand now
Reiterating understanding of past actions
All the things I couldn't before
Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection
I want you to love
Stating the need to believe
And I need to believe
Believing in the meaning behind everything
There is a meaning to everything
Anticipating a future where commitment is serious
One day when you're playing for keeps
Confident that you will discover
I know you'll find
Referring to a significant other as a "lovebird"
Your lovebird
Acknowledging it won't be him
And it won't be
Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection
Me
Acknowledging that you won't be his "lovebird"
