Lost Cause
Navigating Lost Causes: Unraveling the Complexity of Relationships
Lyrics
All of the versions of you that I liked
All the aspects of your personality that I admired
All came in carefully timed
Came with precise timing and intention
You played your part so perfect
You portrayed your role flawlessly
I believed in every line
I believed every word you said
I tell myself I can make it all right
I try to convince myself that I can fix everything
Always shifting the blame
Consistently shifting blame onto others
When every time I try it seems
Despite my efforts, every attempt ends in the same outcome
It all ends up the same and I've tried
I've put in effort, but it seems futile
Everybody knows, it's a lost cause
It's widely acknowledged that this situation is hopeless
Everybody knows, it's a lost cause
A recurring understanding that it's a lost cause
Everybody knows, it's a lost cause but me
This realization is widespread, but I haven't accepted it
All of the versions of me that I liked
The aspects of myself that I once appreciated
It's getting harder to say
Becoming challenging to identify or express
When everything I once believed
My beliefs are constantly evolving
Is changing every day and I've tried
Despite my efforts, things keep changing
Everybody knows, it's a lost cause
A widespread acknowledgment that this is a lost cause
Everybody knows, it's a lost cause
A repeated realization that it's futile
Everybody knows, it's a lost cause but me
Despite common knowledge, I can't accept it
And maybe that's all it will be
Possibly, this is the permanent state of things
Cause lately it feels so empty
Recently, it feels emotionally void
No undo button to forget the past
No way to erase the past and start fresh
Is this just a passing phase
Wondering if this is just a temporary situation
All of the versions of you that I liked
Reflecting on the positive qualities you once had
Everybody knows it's a lost cause
A widely recognized understanding that it's a lost cause
Everybody knows it's a lost cause
Reiterating the notion that it's a lost cause
Everybody knows it's a lost cause but me
Despite general knowledge, I'm struggling to accept it
