You Said
Love's Last Goodbye: Unraveling the Emotion in 'You Said'
Lyrics
Say that I do
Saying affirmatively
Even when I don't
Claiming agreement even when not genuine
Yeah I don't know the way
Expressing uncertainty about the path forward
You're Such an expert
Describing someone as highly skilled
In pushing to work it out
Expertise in resolving issues, even when broken
Even when
Highlighting persistence despite challenges
It's broke
Dealing with situations that are already damaged
Stuck in the corner
Feeling trapped and audible distress
Breathing so damn loud
Emphasizing a prolonged and tense situation
Hanging out for days
Enduring a lengthy period of anticipation
I'm sick of waiting
Frustration with waiting and wanting change
So sick of being here now
Weary of the current circumstances
I don't know how you stay
Perplexed by someone's ability to endure
You said
Recalling a statement or promise
I'm better off
Being told it's better without emotional attachment
Without my heart
Expressing a sense of abandonment
Forlorn
Feeling forsaken and deserted
You Said
Recalling another assertion
I'm better now
Being told improvement without understanding how
But I don't know how
Confusion about personal growth
Love, forgot
Mentioning the fading memory of love
I'm wasting my life
Expressing a sense of wasting time
Doing no favours
Engaging in unproductive activities
Smoke it fills the room
Smoke filling the space without alarm
But there's no alarm
Ambiguity surrounding potential danger
Tell me how long until
Questioning the duration until a critical point
We both choke
Anticipating a shared struggle and suffocation
Trying to hide
Attempting to conceal emotions
With cotton wool in my eyes
Using a barrier to hide from view
You can't find me in here
Feeling stuck and camouflaged
Stuck In a disguise
Being too polite to listen to distress
Too nice to hear you out
Reasons to stay diminishing
But those reasons to stay, fade
Signals of departure becoming more evident
You said
Recalling a prior statement
I'm better off
Being advised to detach emotionally
Without my heart
Feeling abandoned and desolate
Forlorn
Experiencing a sense of emptiness
You Said
Recalling another assertion
I'm better now
Being told of personal improvement without understanding
But I don't know how
Confusion about the process of getting better
Love, took and plundered
Reflecting on the impact of love
My last goodbye
Expressing a final farewell tainted by loss
You said
Recalling a previous statement
I'm better off
Being advised to live without emotional involvement
Without my heart
Feeling abandoned and despondent
Forlorn
Experiencing a sense of abandonment
You Said
Recalling another assertion
I'm better now
Being told of personal improvement without understanding
But I don't know how
Confusion about the process of getting better
Love, took and plundered
Reflecting on the impact of love
My last goodbye
Expressing a final farewell tainted by loss
