What Do I Know
Unveiling the Heart's Unspoken Truths
Lyrics
What do I know
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge about a situation or person.
You seem to like him better
Observing that someone prefers another person over the speaker.
To take him home
Suggesting a willingness to bring the preferred person home.
Even if you will regret him
Acknowledging the possibility of regret associated with the choice.
But I won't play pretend
Refusing to pretend or act falsely despite the circumstances.
Cause I know it wasn't meant to be
Understanding that the relationship was not meant to be.
But you could have said
Expressing a desire for honesty in communication.
That it was you and not me
Highlighting the need for the other person to take responsibility.
Conflict all up in your eyes
Noticing conflict or turmoil reflected in the other person's eyes.
So take a breath and realize
Encouraging the other person to take a moment and realize the situation.
I'm not just trying to get a rise
Clarifying the speaker's intention not to provoke or escalate tensions.
Confrontation only ends in lies
Warning against the negative consequences of confrontation.
So quit it with these ugly games
Requesting an end to manipulative or deceitful behavior.
It doesn't have to end this way
Expressing hope that the situation doesn't have to end negatively.
Cause all you have to do is say
Suggesting that honesty can resolve the issues at hand.
That it was you and not me
Reiterating the importance of the other person taking responsibility.
I try and try to feel alive
Expressing efforts to feel alive despite challenges.
Another day another lie
Acknowledging the prevalence of deception in daily life.
Day to night it's all the same
Highlighting the monotony of experiences and the avoidance of accountability.
You will never take the blame
Asserting that the other person refuses to take responsibility or admit fault.
Can I let go
Questioning the possibility of letting go of the situation.
Heart cold as snow
Describing a emotionally cold or distant state of the heart.
I can't ever grow
Expressing the difficulty of personal growth in such conditions.
If I don't know
Emphasizing the need for knowledge or clarity to enable growth.
I need to know
Expressing a strong need for information or understanding.
I need to know
Repeating the urgency of needing to know.
I need to know
Further emphasizing the importance of clarity.
It's you and not me
Reiterating that the responsibility lies with the other person.
You and not me
Affirming that the situation is about the other person, not the speaker.
You and not me
Repeated affirmation of the focus being on the other person.
Oh, oh, oh
A vocalization expressing frustration, perhaps with the ongoing situation.
