What If I'm Hurt Again
Navigating Love's Storm: What If I'm Hurt Again
Lyrics
You go too far, while I don't even know how to start
You push things too far ahead while I struggle to even begin.
You dig too deep, while you're askin' me what I'm doin' asleep
You investigate deeply while questioning why I'm not active.
Well I really don't know now, what I'm doin', I got the tools in my hand
I'm uncertain about my actions despite having the necessary tools.
But I'm just clueless how to use them, while you got your castle of sand
I lack the understanding of how to utilize my capabilities, contrasting your apparent stability.
I'm just the wind blowin' in the storm, and I'm scared to even try
I feel insignificant like the wind amidst a chaotic situation, fearing failure if I attempt.
Cuz I'll knock it down, yeah to the ground, and you always ask me why
I fear ruining things, and your questioning exacerbates that fear.
I play your game, but it gets me every time,
I engage in your expectations but consistently fall short.
And I'm brought to shame
Repeated disappointment leads to feelings of disgrace.
Why do I even try
I question the purpose of my efforts considering their consistent failure.
And the waves keep getting closer and I know just what to do
The impending trouble is identifiable, yet I'm hesitant to act.
But I'm afraid to
Fear restrains me from taking necessary action due to potential hurt from you.
Cuz what if I'm hurt again by you
I'm apprehensive about being hurt once more by your actions.
You want it loud, well these speakers gonna blow from the sound
Your desires for intensity may lead to overwhelming consequences.
(And still it's not enough)
Despite efforts, it remains insufficient for you.
You want it bigger and brighter, I'm just not that capable all year-round
Your expectations for grandeur exceed my capabilities constantly.
(But that's what you want in love)
Your definition of love includes constant magnification, which I can't sustain.
You want this thing, now you're indecisive, you can't make up your mind
Your wavering decisions add confusion to what you desire.
Do you want it this way or that way, you want answers I can't find
You seek answers that I can't provide, leading to uncertainty.
It's not flashy, and I like that, but you want it to be right
You prefer things flashy, whereas I appreciate simplicity, causing conflict.
I'm a perfectionist with other things but not this little sight
Though meticulous in other aspects, I lack perfectionism in this specific area.
I play your game, but it gets me every time
I comply with your expectations, yet consistently fall short.
And I'm brought to shame
Continual disappointment leads to feelings of disgrace.
Why do I even try
I question the purpose of my efforts considering their consistent failure.
And the waves keep getting closer and I know just what to do
The impending trouble is identifiable, yet I'm hesitant to act.
But I'm afraid to
Fear restrains me from taking necessary action due to potential hurt from you.
Cuz what if I'm hurt again by you
I'm apprehensive about being hurt once more by your actions.
You never told me what I was doin' all wrong
You never communicated my mistakes, causing the issue to persist.
Coulda had this fixed but now it's been prolonged
A problem that could've been resolved is prolonged due to lack of clarity.
To the point where I coulda given up on you
It reached a stage where I contemplated giving up due to your lack of honesty.
Why you got to be like that? Why can't you just speak the truth
Frustration arises from your avoidance of truth-telling, wishing for honesty.
I play your game, but it gets me every time
I comply with your expectations, yet consistently fall short.
And I'm brought to shame
Continual disappointment leads to feelings of disgrace.
Why do I even try
I question the purpose of my efforts considering their consistent failure.
And the waves keep getting closer and I know just what to do
The impending trouble is identifiable, yet I'm hesitant to act.
But I'm afraid to
Fear restrains me from taking necessary action due to potential hurt from you.
Cuz what if I'm hurt again by you
I'm apprehensive about being hurt once more by your actions.
