Not Quite Happiness
Unraveling Relationships: A Song's Emotive Journey
Lyrics
That's the last I'll compromise
Expressing a decision not to compromise anymore.
Before your perfect eyes
Referring to the recipient's flawless gaze or perception.
It's a dream that wakes you up
Describing a dream that disrupts one's sleep.
There's nothing like sleeping alone so much
Highlighting the discomfort of sleeping alone.
You keep holding me back when I'm on my way
Feeling restrained or hindered in progress.
I could only forget if you let me stay
Expressing a desire to forget if given the chance to stay.
Then I'd leave when I want to give you some peace
Wishing to leave to provide peace, but the partner may doubt it.
But you couldn't believe there'd be times like these,
Anticipating disbelief in the possibility of challenging times.
When I tell you the truth like I miss your touch
Being honest about missing physical contact.
Or when you couldn't take that I laughed so much
Referencing tension over laughter that may be misunderstood.
If I told you to stay you would never want
Suggesting reluctance to ask someone to stay.
To be standing alone like a setting sun
Describing the loneliness akin to a setting sun.
That's the last I'll compromise
Reiterating a decision not to compromise.
Before your perfect eyes
Referring again to the perfection of the partner's eyes.
It's the dream that wakes you up
Repeating the theme of disruptive dreams.
There's nothing like sleeping alone so much
Reemphasizing the difficulty of sleeping alone.
So you can go where you want without telling me
Granting freedom for the partner to go without notification.
Take your life where you want never think of me
Encouraging the partner to live independently.
Cause I'm trying to live like I never have
Expressing a personal effort to live differently.
But you couldn't believe there'd be times like that
Expecting disbelief in the ability to change.
When I tell you the truth like I miss your touch
Revealing honesty about missing physical closeness.
Or when you couldn't take that I laughed so much
Recalling tension over laughter that caused issues.
There's no way I could stay in the home you left
Expressing inability to stay in the environment left by the partner.
There are things in my life that I can't accept
Acknowledging the existence of unaccepted aspects in life.
That's the last I'll compromise
Reiterating the decision not to compromise, emphasizing finality.
Before your perfect eyes
Repeating the impact of the partner's perfect eyes on decisions.
It's the dream that wakes you up
Reemphasizing the disruptive nature of dreams.
There's nothing like sleeping alone so much
Reiterating the difficulty of sleeping alone.
That's the last I'll compromise
Stressing once more the final decision not to compromise.
Before your perfect eyes
Emphasizing the impact of the partner's perfection on decisions.
It's the dream that wakes you up
Repeating the theme of disruptive dreams.
There's nothing like sleeping alone so much
Reiterating the challenge of sleeping alone.
There's nothing more empty than my own bed
Highlighting the emptiness of the speaker's own bed.
I don't know where to go when I can't go home
Expressing uncertainty about where to go when unable to return home.
