She Only Loves Me When I'm Asleep
Unconscious Love: Navigating a Relationship's Dormant Affection
Lyrics
Seven years of fighting
Seven years of enduring challenges and conflicts.
And still I love you so
Despite the struggles, there is a continued deep affection.
But I feel some relief every time
Feeling a sense of release whenever the partner expresses a desire to leave.
You say you want to go
Noticing relief when the partner mentions a willingness to part ways.
Tell me when you’re not around
Comfort in solitude when the partner is absent.
I’ll finally feel at ease
Anticipating ease and relaxation when the partner is not present.
She only loves me when I’m asleep
Highlighting that affection is only expressed during unconsciousness or sleep.
When I’m asleep
Reiteration of the theme that love is only evident when the speaker is asleep.
Memories of honeymoons
Recalling memories of romantic vacations, which are fading away.
They seem to fade away
Noting the diminishing significance of past honeymoon experiences.
I knew that she’d regret it
Awareness of the partner's likely regret in making a commitment to stay.
When she promised me she’d stay
Anticipation of regret when the partner promised to remain in the relationship.
Love and loss it’s a lost cause
Reflecting on the inevitability of both love and loss, acknowledging the futility.
I’m indifferent at best
Expressing a state of emotional detachment, being indifferent at best.
It’s good to get this shit off my chest
Relief in expressing and releasing emotional burdens.
Off my chest
Reiterating the relief of unburdening oneself emotionally.
Oh you know you’re so obnoxious
Commenting on the partner's irritating and offensive behavior.
Can't you see that we’re both toxic
Acknowledging the mutual toxic nature of the relationship.
Too far in, I must be honest
Admitting to being deeply involved in the problematic relationship.
Love me only when I’m unconscious
Highlighting that affection is shown only when the speaker is unconscious.
She only loves me when I’m asleep
Reiterating that love is expressed exclusively during sleep.
When I'm asleep
Emphasizing the consistency of affection during the speaker's unconscious state.
