Fickle Heart
Fickle Heart: A Rollercoaster of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Supposed to stay in, I'm at the bar, drinking gin
Feeling obliged to stay indoors, but ends up at a bar, drinking gin
Phone rang, you started on me, oh barman I'll have a whiskey
Receiving a call causing emotional distress, ordering whiskey
You're acting up again, stop running away, you said
Partner is exhibiting erratic behavior, avoiding confrontation
You're not the first, you won't be the last, maybe we can be friends
Acknowledging past failed relationships, suggesting friendship
Shut you out, lock the door, don't wanna see that face no more
Choosing to isolate and avoid encountering the partner
It's just me, myself and I, alone again once more
Feeling alone and detached from others
Time after time, I leave them behind
Repetitive pattern of leaving relationships behind
Baby, you'll be alright, we're just not right, you and I
Assuring the partner that they'll be okay despite the relationship ending
Come in, slam the door, I don't greet you with lust no more
No longer welcoming the partner with desire or passion
Used to laugh, used to play, now our fights, they get in the way
Reflecting on happier times, contrasting with current conflicts
Filled with that fear again, fear of letting you down
Feeling anxious about disappointing the partner
Better now if I make my exit, you don't want me sticking around
Believing it's better to leave rather than linger where not wanted
Shut you out, lock the door, don't wanna see that face no more
Repeatedly avoiding contact and visual reminders of the partner
It's just me, myself and I, alone again once more
Emphasizing solitude and self-reliance
Time after time, I leave them behind
Continuing the pattern of leaving relationships behind
Baby, you'll be alright, we're just not right, you and I
Reiterating reassurance to the partner about their well-being post-breakup
So in love at the start, it breaks my fickle heart
Initially deeply in love, but the fickleness of emotions causes pain
Every time we fall apart, just like the last
Relationships repeatedly ending similarly, causing emotional distress
Have I jumped the gun this time? Should I've just walked the line
Questioning if actions were premature, pondering the possibility of a different approach
Hope you find your happy place, man, what a bitter taste
Wishing the partner finds happiness, feeling bitter about the situation
Drinking gin back at my bar, getting over my latest scar
Returning to drinking at the bar as a coping mechanism for emotional pain
I look up and I see new eyes, took me by surprise
Noticing new perspectives or potential love interests unexpectedly
Shut you out, lock the door, don't wanna see that face no more
Repeatedly avoiding contact and visual reminders of the partner (repeated)
It's just me, myself and I, how I like it, I'll get by
Expressing contentment in being alone, determined to manage alone
Time after time, I leave them behind
Continuing the pattern of leaving relationships behind (repeated)
Baby, you'll be alright, we're just not right, you and I
Reiterating reassurance to the partner about their well-being post-breakup (repeated)
We're just not right, you and I
Affirming the fundamental mismatch between the speaker and the partner
