Resilience Unveiled: Navigating Love's Trials in Yani's Song
Lyrics
You keep burning me
You consistently hurt me emotionally.
Like you do your bridges
You destroy relationships just as you destroy bridges.
You rip me open, sew me up
You expose my vulnerabilities, then try to mend the damage only to cause more harm.
And then you tear out the stitches
You repeat a cycle of hurting and healing, ultimately causing more pain.
I don't want to know
I prefer not to be aware of the consequences when you leave.
What happens when you go
I don't want to know the aftermath of your departure.
You'll find out that I found out
You will realize that I discovered the truth about you, and I will remind myself that I warned you.
And I'll tell myself I told you so
I will rationalize the situation by telling myself that I predicted the outcome.
When everyone just wanted to love you
People initially wanted to love you.
A sign of your respect
Your actions indicate a lack of respect.
An ounce of truth
A small amount of truth existed in your behavior.
Now everyone just wants
Now, people want to distance themselves from you.
To cut you loose
They want to free themselves from your influence.
To stop and lick their wounds
Others are pausing to recover from the harm you've caused.
It's late at night and I shouldn't be
It's nighttime, and I shouldn't be doing this.
But I call you from the city
I reach out to you despite the late hour.
See where you are, it's nice and bright
Your location seems inviting and lively.
And I should come but I'm so busy
I should join you, but I'm occupied with other matters.
And I won't want to know
I will avoid learning the reasons for our meeting.
The reasons when we meet
Ignoring the motivations behind our encounters.
For why you feed the cycle you repeat
Questioning why you continue destructive patterns.
When everyone just wanted to love you
Originally, people had positive feelings toward you.
A sign of your respect
Your actions show a lack of regard for others.
An ounce of truth
There was a small amount of truth in your past actions.
Now everyone just wants
Currently, people want to distance themselves from you.
Now everyone just wants
People are increasingly eager to distance themselves from you.
Now everyone just wants
A repetition emphasizing the desire to break free from your influence.
To cut you loose
A collective wish to liberate themselves from your impact.
To stop and lick their wounds
Others are pausing to recover from the harm you've caused.
Change a-comin' soon
A change is expected to happen soon.
Change a-comin' soon
Emphasizing the imminent arrival of change.
