Lavender
Lavender Whispers: Navigating Love's Fragrance and Shadows
Lyrics
You've got a new scent like lavender
You've acquired a new fragrance reminiscent of lavender.
Your guilt makes it reek
Feelings of guilt emanate from you, affecting the atmosphere.
But you've been happier
Despite the guilt, you've experienced moments of increased happiness.
And nicer to me
You've been more pleasant or kind towards me.
Maybe I should have a little more pride
I may need to value myself more.
Is it wrong if I keep letting it slide
Contemplating whether it's right to overlook your actions.
'Cause you might be coming home late, but
Even though you return home late, I find solace in the fact that you do return to me.
At least you come home to me
Highlighting the positive aspect of you coming home, despite the late hours.
I throw out things you forget to hide
I discard things accidentally left exposed, revealing your secrets.
Keep her perfume
Retaining traces of another woman's perfume intentionally.
You know I've turned a blind eye
I choose to ignore your indiscretions, maintaining a silent agreement.
An unspoken truce
An implicit understanding or truce between us.
Didn't expect you to love me forever
Realization that your love may not last forever.
I wish you loved me a little bit better
Expressing a desire for a higher quality of love from you.
Yeah you come home late
Acknowledging your habitual late returns, but finding comfort in your eventual presence.
But you come home to me
Reiterating the positive aspect of your return home.
Oh, kills me slow
The situation distresses me slowly or painfully.
I breathe in the lavender
Inhaling the scent of lavender, possibly as a coping mechanism.
I breathe in the smoke
Breathing in the metaphorical "smoke" or difficulties of the situation.
I hold on to shadows
Clutching onto remnants of the past or memories.
I hold on to hope
Clinging to hope despite the challenges.
Didn't expect you to love me forever
Acknowledging the impermanence of love.
Couldn't you have loved me a little bit better
Expressing a wish for a more profound and lasting love from you.
Yeah you come home late
Reiterating the habitual late returns, but emphasizing the return to the relationship.
(Yeah you come home, yeah you come late, yeah you come home late, yeah you come home late)
Repetition of the acknowledgment of habitual late returns.
But you come home to me
Emphasizing the consistency of your return home, despite the lateness.
