Navigating Storms: Elle Longstaff's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I put on a smile for you
I pretend to be happy for you
You told me I didn't need to
You assured me that I didn't have to
Told me you were here to talk
You claimed to be available for conversation
But I forgot what I wanted to say
But I can't remember what I wanted to say
Sometimes I can feel the weight of their expectations
Feeling the burden of others' expectations
Dig my grave
Considering self-destruction as an escape
'Cause at least I'd be safe from the hurricanes
Choosing potential safety in the face of life's challenges
Will you still love me if I'm not okay?
Questioning if your love will endure my struggles
And will you understand when I'm afraid?
Seeking understanding when I'm gripped by fear
I promised you that I would call
Promising to reach out if things become unbearable
If it got too much
Facing the challenge of keeping that promise
But when push came to shove
Faltering when the situation becomes difficult
I didn't have the guts
Lacking the courage to follow through
I get scared sometimes of calling you
Fearing the act of reaching out for support
When it's night
Avoiding communication especially at night
'Cause I don't know what I'll say bout these hurricanes
Uncertain about expressing emotions regarding life's challenges
Will you still love me if I'm not okay?
Questioning the constancy of love during difficult times
And will you understand when I'm afraid?
Desiring comprehension in moments of fear
When I'm afraid
Highlighting the emotion of fear
How am I supposed to know
Pondering when it's acceptable to experience certain emotions
When it's okay to feel this way?
Expressing uncertainty about the appropriateness of feelings
'Cause I am tired
Feeling exhausted and on the verge of breaking down
Think I might break
Suspecting a potential emotional breakdown
But I can't say it's everyday
Unable to vocalize struggles on a daily basis
Will you still love me if I'm not okay?
Seeking reassurance about love despite not being okay
And will you understand when I'm afraid?
Desiring understanding when confronted with fear
And could you love me when I'm not okay?
Asking for love even in times of personal struggle
And can you understand why I'm afraid?
Requesting comprehension for the reasons behind fear
