Fragile House of Cards
Fragile Reflections: Navigating Change in a House of Cards
Lyrics
Something's different about me I'm not the same I was before
Expressing a personal transformation and change in identity.
I noticed the picture frames all facing down as I made my way out that door
Observing a shift in the environment, possibly indicating a departure.
Maybe we could sit and talk about this after awhile
Suggesting a desire for communication and resolution after some time.
But no matter where we think things will end we won't know where to start
Uncertainty about the outcome of the situation, unsure of where to begin.
If just for tonight
Proposal to set aside differences for a brief period.
We can set aside
Encouraging a temporary truce or ceasefire.
What I feel
Questioning personal emotions and feelings.
Will I feel this way for you
Uncertainty about the persistence of current feelings.
Tonight
Focusing on the present moment, particularly the night in question.
You wonder why I don't answer when you call
Addressing a lack of response to calls, implying a distance or avoidance.
You're free to abuse who you want so have a ball
Commenting on the freedom to mistreat others without restraint.
This time I won't give into you
Determined not to succumb to pressure or manipulation this time.
The last time I tried you weren't who I knew
Past experiences reveal a change in the person, making them unrecognizable.
Reminiscing about the things that we used to say
Nostalgia for past conversations and exchanges.
Brings up the memories that I tried to throw away
Unpleasant memories resurface, challenging attempts to forget them.
Nothing seems to change in time its worth my while to know
Acknowledging that some things remain unchanged over time.
That you're moving on without me although my knuckles never show
Realizing that someone is moving on, even though the emotional scars persist.
Eventually we'll have our lives to sit and contemplate
Contemplating the future and the decision made, with a suggestion to wait for clarity.
If we made the right decision but for now lets wait
Patience is advised until a more opportune time for reflection on life choices.
