Babyteeth
Embracing Liberation: Ezra Williams' 'Babyteeth' Unraveled
Lyrics
Selfish to feel the need for closure
Feeling selfish for desiring closure in the relationship.
Did you get yours or do you not care anymore
Questioning if the other person has closure or if they no longer care.
Wanting to let myself want to be loved again
Expressing a desire to open up to the possibility of being loved again.
Can't always resort to only ever being friends
Acknowledging the need to move beyond just being friends in relationships.
I will always want you to be happy
Expressing a genuine wish for the other person's happiness.
Now I've learned that I'm important too
Realizing one's own importance and self-worth in a relationship.
And you can get what you need without me
Acknowledging that the other person can fulfill their needs without dependency.
And I'll try to stop myself from crawling back to you
Committing to resist the urge to return to the past relationship.
I'll try to stop myself from crawling back to you
Reiterating the commitment to avoid returning to the previous relationship.
Can't help but think of you
Admitting difficulty in not thinking about the past relationship.
I'm wishing you well cause I choose to
Wishing the other person well despite the challenges of moving on.
Remembering all the love left behind
Recalling the love shared in the past.
Even if you said you didn't care I wouldn't mind
Indicating resilience even if the other person claims not to care.
Even if you said you didn't care I wouldn't mind
Reiterating resilience even if the other person claims not to care.
I always want you to be happy
Expressing a consistent desire for the other person's happiness.
Now I've learned that I'm important too
Reiterating self-importance and self-discovery.
And you can get what you need without me
Acknowledging the other person's independence in meeting their needs.
And I'll try to stop myself from crawling back to you
Committing to resisting the temptation to return to the previous relationship.
I'll try to stop myself from crawling back to you
Reiterating the commitment to avoid returning to the previous relationship.
I will always want you to be happy
Expressing an enduring desire for the other person's happiness.
Even now that I've found someone new
Indicating that the desire for the other person's happiness persists even with a new relationship.
You'll always get what you need eventually
Believing that the other person will eventually find what they need.
And I don't feel as sad as I used to
Not feeling as sad as before, suggesting emotional healing.
I don't feel as sad as I used to
Reiterating the reduced sadness compared to the past.
As the days go on
Over time, the decision to move on feels less wrong.
The decision feels less wrong
Continuing to reflect on the evolving feelings about the decision to move on.
