Teacup
Unveiling Heartbreak: Emery Iven's Teacup Tale
Lyrics
I used to wish you loved me my whole life
I had a persistent desire for your love throughout my life.
That dream has died
That hope or aspiration is now extinguished or unattainable.
The night after we said goodbye
The night following our farewell.
I drowned in my tears that I cried
I was overwhelmed by the tears I shed.
I don't wanna feel this way again
I wish to avoid experiencing this emotional pain again.
Please don't make me feel
Please refrain from causing me to feel this way.
Tell me you love me that's a lie
Telling me you love me is not truthful.
Tell me you want me nice try
Claiming you want me is an insincere attempt.
You didn't want me bad enough
Your desire for me was not strong enough.
If you couldn't be that tough
If you couldn't endure difficulties, you weren't committed enough.
Can't hold onto forever
It's challenging to sustain a relationship indefinitely.
When forever doesn't last that long
Forever is not as enduring as anticipated.
How can you chip my cup
How can you damage our relationship and not try to mend it?
And not clean it up
A metaphorical reference to addressing and resolving issues.
I don't wanna feel this way again
Similar to line 5, expressing a desire to avoid emotional pain.
Please don't make me feel
Reiterating the plea not to induce such emotions.
Tell me you love me that's a lie
Emphasizing the falsehood in saying you love me.
Tell me you want me nice try
Pointing out the insincerity in claiming you want me.
You didn't want me bad enough
Your commitment to me was not sufficiently strong.
If you couldn't be that tough
If you couldn't face challenges, your commitment was lacking.
(That's a lie)
Reiteration of the falsehood in the declaration of love.
(That's a lie)
Reiteration of the insincerity in the claim of wanting me.
I wasn't enough for you
I fell short of meeting your expectations or needs.
Tell me that isn't true
Requesting confirmation or denial of the inadequacy.
I wasn't enough for you
Repeating the feeling of inadequacy in the relationship.
Tell me that isn't true
Seeking confirmation or denial of the perceived inadequacy.
I wasn't enough for you
Reiteration of not being enough for the partner.
Tell me that isn't true
Again, seeking confirmation or denial of being inadequate.
Tell me you love me that's a lie
Repeating the falsehood in professing love.
Tell me you want me nice try
Repeating the insincerity in expressing the desire for the speaker.
You didn't want me bad enough
Your commitment to me was not strong enough.
If you couldn't be that tough
If you couldn't endure difficulties, your commitment was lacking.
Tell me you love me you love me (That's a lie)
Repeating the falsehood in professing love for emphasis.
Tell me you want me you want me (Nice try)
Repeating the insincerity in expressing the desire for the speaker for emphasis.
You didn't want me bad enough
Once again highlighting the insufficient commitment from the partner.
If you couldn't be that tough
If facing challenges was beyond you, your commitment was insufficient.
I used to wish you loved me my whole life
A nostalgic reflection on a past desire for unconditional love.
Make that dream come alive
An ironic or bitter statement, indicating the impossibility of realizing the dream.
