Lyrics
I know I may seem gentle
I may appear gentle, but there's inner strength or toughness.
But this silk is carved from stone
Despite the appearance of delicacy, there's resilience or hardness.
And I know no one can help me
I recognize that no one can assist me in my situation.
So I'd rather be alone
Prefer solitude over seeking help because it seems futile.
And I know it may seem greedy
Admitting to a possible selfishness, unwilling to answer calls.
But I won't pick up the phone
Refusing to answer the phone, possibly due to past experiences.
Cause last time that we talked
Recalling a past conversation where the caller was instructed not to call.
I thought I told you not to call
Expressing frustration at the persistence of unwanted calls.
Anymore
A reaffirmation of the request not to call anymore.
You like to laugh when I cry
Noting that someone enjoys laughing when the speaker is upset.
I don't, I don't
Disagreeing with finding humor in one's distress.
You say it's all in my mind
Being told that the speaker's emotional struggles are imagined.
I don't believe it
Expressing disbelief in the dismissal of personal struggles.
(I don't think I can forgive you anymore)
A statement indicating difficulty in forgiving the person.
Sometimes, loving and leaving are the same
Suggesting that leaving and loving can be intertwined experiences.
Did you know love doesn't have to be a game
Highlighting that love doesn't need to be treated as a game.
(I don't think I can forgive you anymore)
Reiteration that love should not be turned into a game.
It doesn't have to be a game
Emphasizing the simplicity of a request that wasn't met.
It was such a simple ask
Describing a task or expectation that was easy to fulfill.
It was such an easy task
Reaffirming the difficulty in forgiving the person.
I don't think I can forgive you anymore
Observing how someone looks at the speaker with minimal effort.
I see the way you look at me
Noting a lack of effort to conceal negative feelings.
How little that you try
Choosing not to return to a place where the speaker felt small and vulnerable.
To hide the animosity
Perceiving animosity that is evident through the person's eyes.
That's seeping through your eyes
Committing to avoiding future emotional distress.
And I won't come visit home again
Recalling a past experience of feeling insignificant and overwhelmed.
So it's a waste to cry
Reiterating the dislike for laughter in response to personal pain.
Cause last I walked those halls
Challenging the notion that emotional struggles are merely in the mind.
I felt so small I thought I'd die
Repeating the difficulty in forgiving the person.
You like to laugh when I cry
Repeating the observation of love and leaving being interconnected.
I don't, I don't
Pointing out that love should not be treated as a game.
You say it's all in my mind
Reiteration that forgiveness is a challenging prospect.
I don't believe it
Concluding that forgiveness is not a simple task.
(I don't think I can forgive you anymore)
Restating the idea that love should not be turned into a game.
Sometimes, loving and leaving are the same
Underlining the simplicity of the unmet request.
Did you know love doesn't have to be a game
Reaffirming the perception that forgiveness is a difficult task.
(I don't think I can forgive you anymore)
Emphasizing that love doesn't have to be treated as a game.
It doesn't have to be a game
Reiteration of the difficulty in forgiving the person.
It was such a simple ask
Reiterating the simplicity of a request that wasn't met.
It was such an easy task
Affirming the easiness of a task or expectation that was neglected.
I don't think I can forgive you anymore
Reaffirming the difficulty in forgiving the person.
I don't think I can forgive you anymore
Final statement expressing the challenge of forgiveness.
