Measure Up
Unraveling Bonds: Grand Belmont's Measure Up
Lyrics
Did you ever think
Expressing surprise or disbelief about a current situation.
I'd be this out of reach
Feeling emotionally distant or unreachable.
It's funny how the tables turn
Reflecting on the irony of a reversal in circumstances.
When all you do is preach
Noticing a discrepancy between words and actions, possibly hypocritical behavior.
I'll stick to what I've found for me
Choosing to adhere to one's own discoveries and path.
I need to go my way
Expressing the need to pursue one's own direction.
It's not that I don't want to stay
Clarifying the desire to leave without expressing unwillingness to stay.
I just don't wanna play
Rejecting participation in a particular activity or situation.
I can't seem to
Facing difficulty in...
Measure up
Meeting expectations or standards.
To the man you wished
Comparing oneself unfavorably to an idealized version.
Were here in my place
Suggesting someone else is preferred in the current role.
Withholding your love
Withholding affection or acceptance until mutual understanding is reached.
Until we see eye to eye
Linking the ability to love with shared perspectives.
If you can't love who I've become
Suggesting that if one can't accept personal growth, it's better to end the relationship.
It's best to say goodbye
Expressing the idea that parting ways might be the best solution.
You can rearrange the notes
Highlighting the futility of rearranging details in a hopeless situation.
But it's still the saddest song
Emphasizing the persistent sadness in a situation, akin to a sorrowful song.
A mother who needs to be right
Describing a dynamic between a mother insisting on being right and a son resisting compliance.
A son who won't go along
Highlighting the tension between parental expectations and a child's independence.
I can't seem to
Reiterating the struggle to...
Measure up
Meet certain standards or expectations.
To the man you wished
Comparing oneself unfavorably to an idealized version, echoing earlier sentiments.
Were here in my place
Repeating the idea of someone else being more suitable for the current role.
Can you fault me?
Posing a question about responsibility or blame.
You taught me how to forgive
Acknowledging a past lesson in forgiveness.
And all that I ever wanted
Expressing a simple desire for comfort or emotional connection.
Was to be held again
Desiring the warmth of being held again, potentially after a period of emotional distance.
I'm just a link on your prayer chain
Depicting oneself as a part of someone else's support system, perhaps feeling unacknowledged.
