Work To Do
Unveiling Heart's Labor: Confronting Fear and Embracing Change
Lyrics
I keep pushing away the first thing that feels like it might be right
I'm hesitant to embrace something that seems promising
I'm so afraid from everything I've seen
Fearful due to past experiences
I just wish that you would go right
Desire for the person to leave
But I won't trust you for anything that you've said
Reluctance to trust based on past disappointments
Because I've been hurt before by someone who kept turning red
Past hurt from someone who showed signs of anger
I just want you and all you are
Yearning for the person and their true self
But he built fear inside of this heart
Previous negative experiences creating fear
And I won't
Underscores determination or resistance
I won't let you go, I won't let this win
Commitment to holding onto the relationship
But I got a lot of work to do with it
Acknowledgment of personal issues to address
I got a lot of work to do with it, yeah
Reiteration of having personal challenges to overcome
I convinced myself I found love time and time again
Self-deception about finding love repeatedly
But I think I repeated patterns that were built within, oh no
Acknowledgment of repeating unhealthy patterns
It's so sad how I didn't even try to be this way
Regret about unintentionally becoming a certain way
But somehow inside it's ingrained
Recognition of inherent qualities
I just want you and all you are
Desire for the person's true self despite fears
But he built fear inside of this heart
Fear instilled by past experiences affecting the heart
And I won't
Reaffirmation of resistance or determination
I won't let you go, I won't let this win
Commitment to not letting go despite challenges
But I got a lot of work to do with it
Acknowledgment of the need for personal growth
I got a lot of work to do with it, yeah
Reiteration of personal challenges to overcome
I try to control
Attempting to exert control
When everything's out of control
Feeling overwhelmed when things are chaotic
I live in fear because that's the only thing I know dear
Living in fear due to familiarity with chaos
I'm used to chaos
Accustomed to and expecting chaos
I was raised in chaos
Upbringing in a chaotic environment
I want to be better for you
Desire to improve for the sake of the relationship
I just want you and all you are
Yearning for the person and their true self despite fear
But he built fear inside of this heart
Fear affecting the heart from past experiences
And I won't
Reaffirmation of resistance or determination
I won't let you go, I won't let this win
Commitment to not letting go despite challenges
But I got a lot of work to do with it
Acknowledgment of the need for personal growth
I got a lot of work to do with it, yeah
Reiteration of personal challenges to overcome
I got a lot of work to do
Acknowledgment of the substantial personal work ahead
I can't wait to see this through
Eager anticipation to see personal growth through
I got a lot of work to do
Acknowledgment of the ongoing personal work
Imma do it for you
Commitment to personal growth for the sake of the relationship
