Can You Tell Me
Navigating Heartbreak: DJ Jus Jay's Melodic Plea for Reassurance
Lyrics
It doesn't matter if I'm lonely
Expressing indifference to personal loneliness.
All that matters is if you're ok
Emphasizing the importance of the well-being of the other person.
We used to tell each other stories
Reflecting on a past where they shared stories with each other.
Now I'm replaying our words inside my head
Replaying memories of conversations in the mind.
I don't want just anybody
Expressing a desire for a meaningful connection, not just anyone.
Cause I'm stuck here laying in my bed
Feeling stuck and contemplating in bed.
When will I feel like I am ready
Questioning when the speaker will feel ready for something.
But all I do is say this instead
Admitting that expressing readiness is challenging.
Can you tell me
Directly asking for information or reassurance.
That you'll be alright
Requesting assurance about the other person's well-being.
Can you tell me?
Repeating the request for communication.
I can see it in your eyes
Noticing something in the other person's eyes.
I need to know
Expressing a need for information or assurance.
Where you'll go
Asking about the future destination or plans of the other person.
Can you tell me
Repeating the request for communication.
Baby tell me
Reiterating the plea for the other person to share.
Remember when we were together everyday
Recalling a time when they were together every day.
But all I ever did was do things my way
Acknowledging a past tendency to prioritize personal choices.
I thought I knew what I was doing
Reflecting on a misguided belief about their actions.
I was pursuing
Actively pursuing something, possibly the relationship.
Thinking that you would eventually stay
Expecting the other person to stay despite the speaker's actions.
I admit that I was stupid (stupid)
Admitting foolishness or mistakes in the past.
Shooting my arrows like I'm cupid (cupid)
Comparing oneself to Cupid, suggesting unsuccessful attempts at love.
I don't think that I can do this (do this)
Expressing doubt or uncertainty about continuing.
So all I do is say this instead
Repeating the difficulty in expressing readiness.
Can you tell me
Reiterating the request for assurance about the other person's well-being.
That you'll be alright
Requesting confirmation of the other person's well-being.
Can you tell me (yeah)
Repeating the request for communication.
I can see it in your eyes (I can see it in your eyes)
Noticing something in the other person's eyes.
I need to know
Expressing a need for information or assurance.
Where you'll go
Asking about the future destination or plans of the other person.
Can you tell me
Repeating the request for communication.
Can you tell me
Reiterating the plea for the other person to share.
Can you tell me
Repeating the plea for assurance about the other person's well-being.
That you'll be alright
Requesting confirmation of the other person's well-being.
Can you tell me
Repeating the request for communication.
I can see it in your eyes
Noticing something in the other person's eyes.
I need to know
Expressing a need for information or assurance.
Where you'll go
Asking about the future destination or plans of the other person.
Can you tell me
Repeating the request for communication.
