If You Don't Mind
Navigating Love's Crossroads: If You Don't Mind by Elijah Edwards
Lyrics
This isn't working out
This relationship is not going well.
I never wanted it to be this serious
I never intended for things to become so serious.
And now you're at my house
You are now at my home.
And all I know is that I'm not okay with this
I realize that I am uncomfortable with the current situation.
You're moving in
You are moving in with me.
I'm freaking out
I am feeling extremely anxious.
This just is a lot to think about
This situation is overwhelming and requires careful consideration.
Should I drop the hint
Should I give a subtle indication of my feelings?
Or should I stick it out
Or should I endure the situation?
Or maybe I should just wait a while
Maybe I should wait before making a decision.
I think that we should take a break
I suggest that we take a break from the relationship.
So let's slow down before it's too late
Let's slow down our pace before irreversible consequences occur.
Cause I don't wanna cross that line
I don't want to cross certain boundaries.
I just need space if you don't mind
I need personal space, hoping you understand.
I just need space if you don't mind
Reiteration of the need for space.
Why we gotta move so fast
Questioning the speed at which things are progressing.
It's only been a couple months
Expressing concern about the short duration of the relationship.
I haven't even said I love you yet
I haven't expressed love yet.
Why you wanna do it here
Questioning the choice of location for certain activities.
This motel room smells like old throw up and cigarettes
Describing an unpleasant setting.
You kill me slow
Your actions are emotionally harming me.
Just thought that you should know
Informing that the emotional impact is unintentional.
I promise I don't mean to be cold
Assuring that the emotional distance is not intentional.
You had me sold
Initially, I was convinced by your actions.
But you're fool's gold
Now realizing that what seemed valuable is not genuine.
I think that we should take a break
Repetition of the suggestion to take a break.
So let's slow down before it's too late
Reiterating the need to slow down to avoid negative consequences.
Cause I don't wanna cross that line
Emphasizing the reluctance to cross certain boundaries.
I just need space if you don't
Repeating the desire for personal space.
Why am I always the bad guy
Expressing frustration at being perceived as the antagonist.
I wish you'd look on the bright side
Hoping for a positive perspective on the situation.
I think that we should take a break
Reiteration of the suggestion to take a break.
I think that we should take a break
Repetition for emphasis on the idea of taking a break.
So let's slow down before it's too late
Advocating for a slower pace in the relationship.
Cause I don't wanna cross that line
Underlining the desire to avoid crossing certain boundaries.
I just need space if you don't mind
Reiterating the need for personal space.
I just need space if you don't mind
Repeating the plea for understanding the need for space.
I just need space if you don't mind
Concluding with a final request for personal space.
