BETWEEN ME AND YOU
Choices Unraveled: Navigating Self-Worth in 'Between Me and You'
Lyrics
Who knew that I couldn't stand
Expressing surprise that the speaker couldn't tolerate something.
The sound of my own voice from the other end
Disliking the sound of the speaker's own voice when heard from a distance.
I was taught to second guess and put myself behind those who are best
Indicating a learned behavior of self-doubt and prioritizing others perceived as superior.
I wasn't my best
Admitting not being at one's best.
Ive been gone for far too long
Acknowledging a prolonged absence.
I see how you expect me to act
Observing expectations on how the speaker should behave.
But now I'm back
Announcing the return after a departure.
I can't choose
Expressing difficulty in making a choice.
Between me and you
Highlighting the struggle to choose between oneself and another.
I know I should put me first but it never works
Acknowledging the knowledge that self-prioritization is necessary but challenging.
I seem to always loose
Noting a pattern of consistently losing.
Cause I hate change its true
Explaining a dislike for change.
But you don't seem to care cause you come out on top
Observing that the other person consistently benefits.
It's not about you
Asserting that it's not about the other person.
It was never all about you
Reiterating that the focus was never solely on the other person.
I've got a lot to do
Stating a busy agenda.
When were you gonna tell me
Questioning when important information was going to be shared.
That everything worth money
Noting the perceived prioritization of material wealth over the speaker.
Was just as or more important than me
Highlighting the perceived importance of money-related matters.
And you still call me baby
Noting a term of endearment used despite perceived laziness.
But that's just cause your lazy
Suggesting that the use of endearment is due to the other person's laziness.
Cause can't be bothered to change anything
Implying resistance to making changes for the relationship.
To keep you close or cut you off
Expressing uncertainty about whether to maintain or end the relationship.
I know that I'm just making the shit tough
Acknowledging personal responsibility for making things difficult.
Can't make my mind up
Expressing indecision.
And I know that your alone
Acknowledging the other person's solitude.
And if I call your phone
Noting the ease of reaching the other person by phone.
You'll pick up no problem and that's my problem
Identifying the accessibility of the other person as a problem.
You'll Pick up no problem
Reiterating the ease of reaching the other person.
And that's the fucking problem
Emphasizing the problem of easy accessibility.
I can't choose
Repeating the difficulty in making a choice.
Between me and you
Reiterating the struggle between self and the other person.
I know I should pick me first but it never works
Acknowledging the need to prioritize oneself, despite challenges.
I seem to always loose
Noting the consistent experience of losing.
Cause I hate change its true
Restating the aversion to change.
But you don't seem to care cause you come out on top
Observing the other person's seeming indifference to the speaker's challenges.
I can't choose
Reiterating the difficulty in making a choice.
I can't choose
Repeating the struggle to choose.
Ive got a lot to do
Emphasizing a busy schedule.
I seem to always loose cause I hate change its true
Highlighting the ongoing pattern of losing due to a dislike for change.
But you don't seem to care cause you come out on top
Reiterating the other person's seeming indifference to the speaker's challenges.
Its not about you
Asserting that the issue is not about the other person.
It was never all about you
Reiterating that the focus was never solely on the other person.
Ive got a lot to do
Stating a busy agenda.
