Too Sweetly
Sweet Liberation: Unveiling the Emotional Odyssey of 'Too Sweetly' by Ella Bleakley
Lyrics
You were here and now you're gone
You were once present in my life, but now you're no longer here.
Smoke my cig and carry on
I'm smoking a cigarette and trying to continue despite your absence.
Got sad in my eyes
I have sadness reflected in my eyes.
Most girls would cry
Most girls would cry due to the numerous goodbyes you've given.
From all your goodbyes
You've said goodbye so many times, causing emotional distress.
But I'm just too tired
However, I'm simply too exhausted to express emotions.
Yes you hurt me
You caused me pain, but that was in the past week.
But that was last week
You ended the call, leaving me feeling isolated.
You hung up the phone and now I'm alone
It feels so good to be free
I feel liberated from being confined within your emotional control.
from you're ribcage where you kept me
I was lost in the depth of your influence and presence.
I was so lost inside you're company
Questioning if my love for you was overly affectionate.
So did I love you too sweetly
And I just stood there so still
I remained motionless, resembling a state of recovery, like in rehab.
Like rehab, I began to heal
Slowly but surely, I began to heal from the emotional wounds.
Now I'm feeling fine
Currently, I'm feeling well and recovered.
No tears here to cry
There are no more tears left to shed.
Mascara has dried
Mascara has dried, indicating an absence of crying.
Just myself and I
I'm alone, but comfortable in my own company.
My friends are uneasy
My friends are feeling uncomfortable or uncertain.
For love they are greedy
They crave love but often mishandle or ruin it.
They buy it so cheaply
They acquire love inexpensively but damage it efficiently.
Yet mess it up neatly
And it feels so good to be free
Reiterating the feeling of freedom from emotional confinement.
From you're ribcage where you kept me
Reflecting on being trapped within your emotional control.
I was so lost inside you're company
Similar to line 13, feeling lost in the influence of the other person.
So did I love you
Questioning if affection was given excessively.
If you lose all the ghosts in your room
Metaphorically addressing the haunting memories or emotional baggage.
You're a fool if you let them back in
Advising against allowing those negative memories or influences back in.
Let them go so you can start again
Encouragement to release the past and initiate anew.
Let the heat wash over your skin
Embrace change and let positive feelings replace the negative ones.
And you'll feel so good now you're free
Continuing the theme of liberation from emotional captivity.
from the ribcage where you've been
Reflecting on the sense of freedom after being emotionally confined.
If you're ever lost in someone's company
If ever feeling lost in someone else's influence, question the intensity of love given.
Ask yourself did you love them too sweetly
Questioning if love was excessively tender or affectionate.
