Lyrics
You say that it's just a joke
You dismiss the situation as a mere joke.
You say that it's all inside my head
You claim that the issues are imaginary and exist only in my thoughts.
That I'm fighting with a ghost
I am in a conflict with an intangible force or presence (a metaphorical "ghost").
That I need to face reality
You urge me to confront and accept the truth of the situation.
It feels like I'm slowly dying
I experience a gradual emotional deterioration or distress.
Falling into love just to hit the ground
Falling in love only to face disappointment or heartbreak.
It feels like I'm suffocating
I feel overwhelmed and stifled.
In between your arms where I'm safe and sound
I find comfort and safety within your embrace.
But I'll keep waiting for you
Despite challenges, I will continue to wait for you.
Even when theirs nothing left
Even when there is nothing remaining.
No matter the pain, no matter the tears
Regardless of the pain and tears involved.
No matter the scars you leave behind
Irrespective of the emotional scars you leave behind.
I'll keep holding your hand
I will continue to hold your hand.
I'll keep kissing your lips
I will continue to express affection by kissing your lips.
Cause baby I've never
This emotional experience is unprecedented for me.
Felt this before and I'd rather
Given the choice, I would prefer being mistreated by you than being alone.
Let you put me down than be alone
Expressing a willingness to endure negativity to avoid solitude.
If only I could be more
If only I could change certain aspects of myself.
If only I weren't so sensitive
If only I were less sensitive in my reactions.
Then maybe you'll love me more
Hoping that modifying myself might lead to more love from you.
Then maybe we wouldn't fight like this
Suggesting that personal changes could improve our relationship dynamics.
It feels like I'm slowly dying
Reiteration of emotional decline and heartbreak.
Falling into love just to hit the ground
Repetition of the emotional suffocation experienced.
It feels like I'm suffocating
Feeling secure and protected within your arms despite the challenges.
In between your arms where I'm safe and sound
Continuing to wait for you, even in the absence of hope or substance.
But I'll keep waiting for you
Reiterating determination to wait for you despite the void.
Even when theirs nothing left
Despite the emptiness, I will persist in waiting for you.
No matter the pain, no matter the tears,
Enduring pain, tears, and scars for the sake of the relationship.
no matter the scars you leave behind
Despite the emotional toll, I will keep holding your hand.
I'll keep holding your hand
Expressing commitment by continuing to kiss your lips.
I'll keep kissing your lips
Reiteration of the novel and intense emotional experience.
Cause baby I've never
Reiterating the preference for mistreatment over loneliness.
Felt this before and I'd rather
Continued preference for enduring mistreatment over solitude.
Let you put me down than be alone
Reiteration of the willingness to be mistreated rather than being alone.
If only you could see yourself
If only you could recognize your own flaws.
If only you would get some help
If only you would seek professional assistance.
Then maybe you would open up
Expressing hope that seeking help would lead to openness and self-awareness.
And see you were the ghost all along
Realization that the true issue lies within yourself, metaphorically described as being a ghost.
If only love was black and white
If only love were simpler and clearer.
If only you could change your mind
If only you could change your perspective or feelings.
Then maybe you would open up
Expressing hope that a change in perspective would lead to self-realization.
And see you were the ghost all along
Realization that the true obstacle in the relationship is your own ghost-like presence.
