Navigating Solitude: Emily Nadeau's Reflection on Self-Reliance
Lyrics
I'm way too good at making myself cry
I possess the ability to easily bring myself to tears.
It's a talent of mine, mine
This talent of making myself cry is something I excel at.
And I'm way too good at letting these days pass me by
I am highly proficient at allowing time to pass without questioning or reflecting on it.
Without wondering why, why
I let days go by without contemplating the reasons behind them.
I didn't know what to say when you went away didn't speak again
I struggled to find words when you departed, and we didn't communicate again.
And sophomore year pandemic my best friend moved over to Michigan
During my sophomore year, amidst a pandemic, my closest friend relocated to Michigan.
And the last one I'm really hoping I see again
The last friend I genuinely hope to reconnect with.
Don't you see maybe why I've decided to call it quits
I've chosen to end relationships, perhaps due to the pain of separation.
And I'll be my own best friend
I will become my own best friend.
Since no one can do it
As no one else seems capable of fulfilling that role.
I'll be my own best friend
Reiterating the decision to be self-reliant for companionship.
Since no one wants to be it
Since it appears no one else desires to take on the role of being my friend.
Can't stand knowing that you're worrying about me
I can't bear the thought of you worrying about me.
I promise I'm okay if I'm honest maybe a bit lonely
Despite my assurance of being okay, there's a hint of loneliness.
It's something I'm working on, I know that I'll find it someday
I acknowledge the need for personal growth and actively working on it.
But until then I'll tell you I'm perfectly okay
Until I find that growth, I'll maintain the facade of being perfectly fine.
Why should I
Questioning the necessity of relying on oneself for companionship.
Be my own best friend
Deciding to be my own best friend.
Can no one really do it
Suggesting that others might not be able to fulfill that role adequately.
Why should I be my own best friend
Reaffirming the choice to be self-sufficient in friendship.
Oh no one wants to do it
Implying that others may not be willing to take on the responsibility of being a friend.
Hey
A casual greeting or acknowledgment of the decision to be one's own best friend.
I'll be my own best friend
Reiteration of the commitment to self-reliance in friendship.
