Give Me Back My Tears
Reclaiming My Emotions: Delta's Plea for Liberation
Lyrics
Give me back my tears
Request to have the emotional pain back
I shouldn't have wasted them on you
Regret for investing emotions in the wrong person
Give me back my tears
Repetition of the plea for the return of tears
I shouldn't have wasted them on you
Reiteration of regret for wasting emotions
Give them all back woman
Demanding the return of all emotions given to the woman
No longer gonna be your fool
Decision to no longer be manipulated or deceived
You treat me like a child
Feeling belittled and disrespected
And you ain't got nothing good to say
Not receiving positive or supportive communication
You loved me for a little while
Experience of love that was fleeting
Then you took your love away
Feeling abandoned or betrayed after love was withdrawn
I never knew you were so evil
Realization of the person's true negative nature
And that was my mistake
Recognizing personal misjudgment
Give me back my tears
Insistence on the return of emotional pain
And leave me with a little bit of my pride
Desire to retain some self-respect
Give me back my tears
Repetition of the plea for the return of tears
One tear for every time you told me a lie
Symbolic request for acknowledgment of lies told
Give them all back woman
Demand to retrieve all emotions invested in the relationship
Then we can say goodbye
Suggesting closure and the end of the relationship
