Keeping Score
Embracing Liberation: Elyse Alexander's 'Keeping Score' Unveils a Journey Beyond Resentment
Lyrics
I've been wearing the perfume that reminds me of you
Reflecting on memories associated with a perfume tied to the person
And I, I've been thinking about getting a tattoo
Contemplating the idea of getting a tattoo, possibly as a symbolic change
So I can have a body that you've never touched
Desiring a body untouched by the person, seeking a fresh start
Getting over you was easy
Expressing that moving on from the person was initially easy
But getting over this is taking longer than it should be
Acknowledging that recovery from the emotional impact is taking longer
Cause I, I'm not mad anymore
Claiming to have overcome anger towards the person
No I, I'm not keeping score
Emphasizing the abandonment of keeping track of grievances
I'm just trying to go back to who I was before
Striving to return to the pre-relationship self
I know you, I know you can't redo
Acknowledging the impossibility of undoing the past actions
What you, what you put me through
Pointing out the consequences of the person's actions
But I'm not mad anymore
Reiterating the lack of anger towards the person
No I'm not mad anymore
Confirming the absence of residual anger
So let's stop keeping score
Suggesting an end to keeping track of wrongs and resentments
I've been talking to some old friends about you
Sharing experiences and seeking advice from friends about the person
And when I'm alone I don't cry about it like I used to
Not crying alone as frequently as before
But I still pray that I can forget you someday
Expressing a hope to eventually forget the person
Getting over you was easy
Reiterating that moving on was initially easy
But getting over this is taking longer than it should be
Stating that emotional recovery is slower than expected
Cause I, I'm not mad anymore
Reaffirming the absence of anger towards the person
No I, I'm not keeping score
Rejecting the idea of keeping a tally of grievances
I'm just trying to go back to who I was before
Striving to return to the pre-relationship self
I know you, I know you can't redo
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of past actions
What you, what you put me through
Pointing out the impact of the person's actions
But I'm not mad anymore
Confirming the absence of lingering anger
No I'm not mad anymore
Reiterating the lack of remaining anger
So let's stop keeping score
Proposing an end to keeping track of grievances
And I'm done with healing I just wanna see the end
Expressing a desire for closure and the end of the healing process
Cause I'm so sick of feeling
Conveying frustration with the emotional toll of the situation
And wasting time playing pretend
Rejecting the idea of pretending and wasting time
Cause really I'm fine
Asserting well-being despite the challenges
Trying not to mind my past
Trying to avoid dwelling on the past
Please understand that
Requesting understanding for the current emotional state
Cause I, I'm not mad anymore
Reiterating the absence of lingering anger towards the person
No I, I'm not keeping score
Affirming the decision to stop keeping score of grievances
I'm just trying to go back to who I was before
Striving to return to the pre-relationship self
I know you, I know you can't redo
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of past actions
What you, what you put me through
Pointing out the impact of the person's actions
But I'm not mad anymore
Confirming the absence of lingering anger
No I'm not mad anymore
Reiterating the lack of remaining anger
So let's stop keeping score
Proposing an end to keeping track of grievances
