Love's Struggle: A Poignant Tale of Yearning and Acceptance
Lyrics
Was it you that I met?
Questioning if the person being addressed is the one met before.
Was I lost in the dark?
Expressing confusion or uncertainty in a dark situation.
Cause' it felt like cement
Suggesting a heavy or solid feeling, possibly emotional.
On the front of your palms
Describing a cold and unresponsive demeanor.
You were cold to the kiss
Highlighting emotional distance despite physical closeness.
You were all I could want
Expressing longing for the person despite challenges.
This is love, this is it
Affirming that the described situation is love.
It was all that I wanted
Stating that love was the desired outcome.
Darling please take your time
Urging the person to take their time.
I'll be here everyday
Expressing commitment to be present every day.
Cause I'm stuck the the lie
Indicating feeling trapped in a lie about mutual love.
That you love me the same
Believing the person still loves the speaker the same way.
Said hello, then goodbye
Noting a brief encounter, with subsequent goodbye.
Now you're walking away
Observing the person walking away after a greeting and farewell.
Tried to follow behind
Attempting to follow the person but feeling restrained.
But I'm bound the these chains
Feeling bound or restricted by emotional chains.
Yeah, yeah, don't wanna let you go
Expressing reluctance to let the person go.
Yeah, yeah, don't want this back and forth
Desiring stability and not wanting a repetitive cycle.
Yeah, yeah, I hope you never know,
Hoping the person never understands the emotional turmoil.
Yeah, yeah
Repetition of the desire for stability and avoidance of turmoil.
Baby you can stay the night you know that's fine with me
Offering acceptance for the person to stay overnight.
I've been holding on so tight that I can hardly breathe
Expressing a tight emotional grip and difficulty breathing.
Don't tell me that you're fine outside I see your shaky knees
Noticing the person's struggle despite outward composure.
So baby let me hold you tight until we fall asleep
Proposing emotional support until falling asleep.
Been a rough couple weeks but that's life, then it's gone
Acknowledging a challenging period but recognizing its transient nature.
Stay awake fall asleep to the light of the sun
Describing a mixed state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep.
Shouldn't dwell on the things that were lost all along
Advising against dwelling on past losses.
So when a rose cuts you deep
Metaphorically addressing the enduring nature of emotional wounds.
You're gonna live with the scar
Accepting the permanence of emotional scars.
So unaware of everything
Expressing a state of unawareness and indifference.
And you don't care that I might break
Conveying a lack of concern for potential emotional damage.
It isn't fair im not okay
Feeling unfairness and emotional distress.
While I just watch you breathe in and out
Helplessly watching the person's breathing.
Baby you can stay the night you know that's fine with me
Reiterating the acceptance of the person staying overnight.
I've been holding on so tight that I can hardly breathe
Reemphasizing emotional intensity and breathlessness.
Don't tell me that you're fine outside I see your shaky knees
Noticing the person's inner turmoil despite outward appearance.
So baby let me hold you tight until we fall asleep
Encouraging closeness until falling asleep.
Yeah, yeah, don't wanna let you go
Repeating reluctance to let the person go.
Yeah, yeah, don't want this back and forth
Reiterating the desire for stability and avoiding conflicts.
Yeah, yeah, I hope you never know,
Echoing the hope that the person remains unaware of emotional turmoil.
Yeah, yeah
Repetition of the desire for stability and avoidance of turmoil.
