Why Do I Want
Yearning Shadows: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Why do I want things I should never have
Questioning the desire for things deemed inappropriate or harmful.
Why do I want things that hurt
Reflecting on the attraction to things that cause pain.
Why do I say things I didn't mean
Expressing regret for making statements not sincerely intended.
I was scared of what you'd find
Admitting fear of what others might discover.
My truth is not so sublime
Acknowledging one's truth is not exceptionally admirable.
One little promise seems
Contemplating the weight of a seemingly small promise.
More than just honest
Asserting that honesty involves more than mere words.
About something that I can not do
Recognizing limitations and expressing inability.
Oops! What I mean to say
Oops moment, correcting a previous statement.
Is that I think you are wrong
Disagreeing with someone's perspective.
Why do I want things I should never have
Repetition of questioning inappropriate desires.
Why do I want things that hurt
Reiterating attraction to things causing pain.
Why do I say things I didn't mean
Repeating regret for insincere statements.
I was scared of what you'd find
Reiterating fear of potential discoveries.
My truth is not so sublime
Reaffirming that personal truth is not extraordinary.
I will just continue
Commitment to continue being oneself.
To be me just when you
Remaining authentic despite expectations.
Had thought that you'd
Defying assumptions about knowing the complete truth.
Known the full truth
Acknowledging the payment of homage.
Homage is what I pay
Noting that demons' laughter is tolerable.
The demons laugh but it's okay
Feeling overwhelmed but acknowledging the need to stop.
My need to stop is overwhelmed
Highlighting the reciprocal nature of actions.
What I get in return
Anticipating what is received in return.
Addiction traded live happily
Accepting a happily lived life despite addiction.
Even after tragedy
Acknowledging ongoing contentment even after tragedy.
The cats out of the bag and
Revealing a secret with a nonchalant attitude.
He winks as he passes me
Noting a cat's mischievous acknowledgment.
Why do I want things I should never have
Repeating the inquiry about inappropriate desires.
Why do I want things that hurt
Reiterating attraction to things causing pain.
Why do I say things I didn't mean
Repeating regret for insincere statements.
We were scared of our own minds
Reflecting on shared fears within a relationship.
We will all heal in good time
Expressing hope for collective healing over time.
