Foolin' Ourselves
Love's Grip: A Tale of Addiction and Regret
Lyrics
Well I been wondering when you'll call my phone
Contemplating when the person being addressed will make a phone call.
Wondering when you'll come back home
Wondering about the return of the person to their home.
Wondering if this last goodbye is really our last
Questioning whether the farewell said earlier is truly final.
'Cause I noticed that the pictures on your wall were gone
Observing that the pictures on the wall belonging to the other person have been removed.
I noticed 'cause I ended it with someone too
Realizing because they, too, have ended a relationship recently.
I know we both know what were doing is wrong
Acknowledging the awareness that both individuals are engaging in something considered morally incorrect.
But tonight I know you'll end up in my room
Anticipating that the other person will end up in their room later that night.
I can't lie you're all I see and its the death of me
Admitting that the other person is all they can see, which is emotionally challenging.
Maybe not but you surely murdered all my attempts
Expressing how the other person's actions have negatively impacted their efforts in new relationships.
At the chance of giving somebody all of me
Reflecting on the difficulties of fully committing to someone else.
But what do I expect?
Pondering their expectations in this situation.
Am I a fool for running back to you each night
Questioning if they're foolish for repeatedly returning to the other person.
Are we foolin' ourselves we do this every fucking time
Recognizing that both parties continuously engage in this behavior despite knowing its negative consequences.
All I want to do is get to moving a long
Desiring to move forward and progress.
But you put me in a bind and I'm keeping it on
Feeling stuck due to the actions or influence of the other person.
Well I figure you find comfort and happiness in knowing
Believing that the other person finds solace in the knowledge that they're relied upon, though they won't admit it.
That I'm dependent on ya but ill never admit it
Planning to lie about their well-being to avoid revisiting a challenging conversation.
I'm gonna lie and tell you that I'm doing better than I'm showing
Expressing attempts to find excitement in social outings, but failing due to emotional attachment.
'Cause that's a conversation that ill never revisit
Deciding never to discuss certain topics again.
Well the thing is that I tried it going out on every Friday
Trying to recreate positive feelings by going out every Friday.
Trying to recreate a feeling to get me half excited
Struggling to feel enthusiasm equal to the emotions associated with the addressed person.
As lying through my teeth telling you while we sleep that
Planning to lie about this encounter being the last one.
This is the last time
Expressing inability to resist seeking comfort from the addressed person when feeling down.
I can't help it I'm an addict run to you when I'm low
Admitting to being unable to control the desire to remember past moments with the addressed person.
I can't help myself but reminisce on all of the nights
Recalling past conversations about a hypothetical future together.
When we talk about how our future wedding would go
Expressing surprise at the current situation compared to previous expectations.
I never thought we'd end up like this
Questioning their own judgment for repeatedly returning to the addressed person.
Does that make me a fool for running back to you each night
Recognizing the recurring nature of their actions despite knowing the negative outcomes.
Are we foolin' ourselves we do this every fucking time
Questioning if both individuals are deceiving themselves by engaging in this behavior repeatedly.
All I want to do is get to moving a long
Expressing a desire to move forward but feeling constrained by the other person's actions or influence.
But you put me in a bind and I'm keeping it on
Feeling trapped or restrained due to the actions or influence of the other person.
