I Beg
Echoes of Desperation: Gene Johnson Jr.'s Cry for Connection
Lyrics
I beg I beg
The singer pleads earnestly.
That you stay awhile
Requesting someone to remain present for a period.
I'm too damn young
Expressing feeling too young to part ways or bid farewell.
To say goodbye
Reiteration of feeling too young to say goodbye.
To say goodbye
Repeating the sentiment of being too young to bid farewell.
I'm stretched out on my grave again
Feelings of despair, love arriving too late, contemplating self-harm, and experiencing repeated disappointment.
She tells me that she loves me
-Just too late again
-Point it at my chest
-I grip the blade again
-I'm just fading as I wait again
-I wait again
-I end up getting played again
Feeling manipulated or taken advantage of repeatedly.
Got played again
-Looking up to God
Seeking help or salvation from a higher power due to the difficulties faced.
I need some saving and
-They end up throwing shade again
Experiencing depression and feeling that there's no hope for rescue.
Depression at my doorstep
-Ain't no saving him
-I try to keep the pressure
Struggling to withstand pressure and feeling overwhelmed.
Pushes back
-And I start caving in
-I'm stretched out on my grave again
Repetition of feeling loved too late and being stretched thin.
She tells me that she loves me
-Just too late again
-I beg I beg
Reiteration of the plea for someone to stay due to feeling too young to part ways.
That you stay awhile
-Too damn young
-For us to say goodbye
-To say goodbye
Repeating the request for someone to stay as it's too early to say goodbye.
I beg I beg
-That you stay awhile
-Point it at my chest
Continued feelings of despair, self-harm, and being manipulated.
I grip the blade again
-I'm just fading as I wait again
-I wait again
-I end up getting played again
-Got played again
Repeating the plea to stay.
I beg
-I beg I beg
Reiterating the plea due to feeling too young to say goodbye.
That you stay awhile
-I'm too damn young
-For us to say goodbye
-Too damn young
Repeating the sentiment of being too young to part ways.
To say goodbye
-I still blame myself for allowing it
Blaming oneself, feeling regretful, and struggling with forgiveness.
I changed her ringtone
-And now I hate the sound of it
-If I check her likes
-Then I'm bound to trip
-If she play my songs
-This the one she surely bound to skip
-Ain't been in the loop
-I'm popping pills just to stay out of it
-Forgiveness is a lonely road
-Forgiveness is a lonely road
Repetition emphasizing the loneliness of the path to forgiveness.
Stretched out on my grave again no
Continuation of feelings of despair, self-harm, seeking salvation, and succumbing to depression.
I'm stretched out on my grave again no
-She tells me that she loves me
-Just too late again
-Point it at my chest
-I grip the blade again
-I'm just fading as I wait again
-I wait again
-I beg I beg
-That you stay awhile
-Too damn young
-For us to say goodbye
-I'm just fading as I wait again
-I wait again
-I end up getting played again
-Got played again
-I'm looking up to God
-I need some saving and
-Depression at my doorstep
-Ain't no saving him
-It pushes back
-And I start caving in
-I'm stretched out on my grave again
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed and stretched thin.
