The Next Step to Regaining Control
Navigating Unfulfilled Promises: The Next Step to Regaining ControlLyrics
I knew that you wouldn’t change, but I bit my tongue and swore, resigned myself to carry on despite you.
I anticipated that you wouldn't change, but I chose to remain silent and committed to moving forward despite your behavior.
But you would not match my stride and cried, “Foul! Foul! How could you expect me to care about somebody else?”
You failed to keep pace with me and complained, expressing disbelief that I would care about anyone other than you.
And after all, who would expect anything else from you?
Considering your past actions, it's not surprising that you behave this way.
You would not apologize for what claimed you’d never do.
You refused to apologize for actions you claimed you would never take.
You guard your hand like there is something brilliant waiting to play itself off.
You hold back, as if you have a brilliant move to make but are unwilling to reveal it.
And when you move to strike, everything will fall into place.
When you finally act, everything will fall into its intended place.
But I’ll call your bluff. I know you’re all talk.
I challenge your threats, as I believe you are just making empty boasts.
And when the words come out
When you speak,
there will be nothing left but promises.
only promises will remain.
I wanted it to be different, to see truth where it did not fit.
I wished for a different outcome, hoping to find truth where it seemed unlikely.
But the harder I looked, the farther you seemed from it.
However, the more I searched, the more distant you appeared from the truth.
There is a cadence here, I guess, for every measured misstep.
There is a rhythmic pattern in our interactions, marked by every deliberate mistake.
I put one foot forward and you take two steps back.
I make an effort to progress, but you consistently regress, hindering any advancement.
So just say what you want.
Just express your desires openly and honestly.
