Steering Wheel
Love's Turbulence: A Journey on the Steering Wheel
Lyrics
You call, but I don't want to speak
You're reaching out, but I'm avoiding communication
My pride is springing in a leak
I feel a sense of pride, but it's weakening
Cause I know what you'll say
Anticipating what your words will be
I'm getting in the way, I'm in the way
I feel like I'm causing interference or obstruction
I swerve in the street
I'm navigating unpredictably
Thinking this time if it's you or it's me
Contemplating if the situation is due to you or me
I guess it's all the same
Realizing it doesn't really matter, the outcome is the same
I'm always in the way
Feeling consistently like I'm causing problems
I'm in the way
Reiteration of feeling like a hindrance
And I stay
Staying despite feeling this way
Wiping tears on the steering wheel
Expressing emotional distress while driving
Screaming out just to make it real
Trying to make the pain tangible and real
Cause I've been so alone
Feeling deeply isolated
How could you love me like
Questioning how love could exist in this circumstance
Wearing shame like an old excuse
Carrying shame as an excuse for behavior
Try to change but never follow through
Attempting change but struggling to follow through
Just waiting for you to go
Waiting for the other person to depart emotionally or physically
How could you love me like this
Questioning the sincerity of love given the circumstances
I'm taking my time
Taking time to process and move forward
It's harder for me just to leave it behind
Finding it difficult to leave the past behind
Even if you say you'll love me the same
Doubting that love will remain consistent
I'm always in the way
Continuously feeling like a hindrance or obstruction
I'm in the way
Reiteration of feeling in the way
Wiping tears on the steering wheel
Expressing emotional distress while driving (repeated)
Screaming out just to make it real
Attempting to validate emotions by externalizing them
Cause I've been so alone
Reiteration of feeling deeply isolated
How could you love me like
Questioning the possibility of love in this situation (repeated)
Wearing shame like an old excuse
Using shame as a reason or justification for behavior (repeated)
Try to change but never follow through
Struggling to make lasting changes (repeated)
Just waiting for you to go
Waiting for the relationship to end or for distance to grow (repeated)
How could you love me like this
Questioning the authenticity of love in this situation (repeated)
How could you love me like this
Reiteration of doubt about being loved in this circumstance
Wiping tears on the steering wheel
Expressing emotional distress while driving (repeated)
Screaming out just to make it real
Attempting to make pain tangible and real (repeated)
Cause I've been so alone
Reiteration of feeling deeply isolated (repeated)
How could you love me like this
Questioning the possibility of love in this situation (repeated)
Run away when I should repent
Running away instead of facing mistakes
Half written love notes I never sent
Leaving heartfelt messages unsent
Just waiting for you to go
Waiting for the situation to resolve itself
