Don't Be Upset With Me
Navigating Love's Shadows: Embracing Imperfections
Lyrics
Always find myself turning my head the other way
Feeling the inclination to avoid confrontations or uncomfortable situations.
As you stare at me I get palpitations, I run away
Experiencing a racing heartbeat and fleeing when faced with direct attention or affection.
All this lovey Dovey affection isn't in my family tree
Expressing that expressions of affection aren't customary or typical within their family.
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Pleading for understanding and not wanting the person to be angry due to these emotional responses.
I learned to push my feeling aside
Choosing to suppress emotions or feelings.
Cause when I did, my hand met the fire
Referencing past experiences where trying to hide emotions led to pain.
Baby, it's hard to see the light
Struggling to see hope or positivity due to being accustomed to darkness.
Cause darkness is where my heart resides
Darkness metaphorically representing where their emotions reside.
I'm trying, trying, trying, trying, trying
Repeatedly attempting to make an effort.
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Requesting not to be upset despite the difficulty in trying.
It's hard on my end, my end, my end, my end
Highlighting the struggle and difficulty from their perspective.
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Reiterating the plea to avoid upsetting the person despite personal hardships.
Always find myself turning my head the other way
Repeating the tendency to avoid direct interactions or emotional confrontations.
As you stare at me I get palpitations, I run away
Experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety when faced with attention or affection.
All this lovey Dovey affection isn't in my family tree
Reiterating the unfamiliarity with affectionate behavior within their family.
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Asking for understanding and forgiveness for this emotional response.
I'm trying, trying trying, trying, trying
Continued efforts despite difficulties.
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Requesting patience and understanding despite the challenges.
It's hard on my end, my end, my end, my end
Emphasizing personal struggles and challenges.
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Repeatedly asking not to cause upset despite personal difficulties.
Oh I, tell my heart to open up we won't die
Encouraging oneself to be open to love despite fears of emotional pain.
I'm not playing this game, cause I bear the pain
Refusing to engage in emotional games and acknowledging the pain they bear.
Let's try, I do really want love, oh I can't lie
Expressing a genuine desire for love while acknowledging past experiences.
See you never learn, here you go again
Observing a repeated pattern of behavior despite warnings or past experiences.
Always find myself turning my head the other way
Reiterating the reflex to avoid emotional situations or confrontations.
As you stare at me I get palpitations, I run away
Experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety when faced with attention or affection (repeated).
All this lovey Dovey affection isn't in my family tree
Reiterating the lack of familiar affectionate behavior in their family (repeated).
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Requesting understanding and forgiveness for the emotional response (repeated).
Always find myself turning my head the other way
Repeatedly feeling the instinct to avoid emotional interactions (repeated).
As you stare at me I get palpitations, I run away
Experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety when faced with attention or affection (repeated).
All this lovey Dovey affection isn't in my family tree
Highlighting the lack of customary affectionate behavior in their family (repeated).
So baby please, don't be upset with me
Pleading for understanding and forgiveness for this emotional response (repeated).
