Don't Have You
Love Lost, Sleepless Nights: Jack TerryWhite's Poetic Struggle
Lyrics
You call me your sweetheart
You address me affectionately as your sweetheart
But the sugar's corroding my insides
However, the sweetness in our relationship is causing harm to my inner self
I'm a lover, not a fighter; This much is true
Expressing a preference for love over conflict
So someone tell me why I'm starting all these fights
Questioning the reason behind initiating conflicts despite being a lover
These sleepless nights aren't getting any
These nights without sleep are not becoming any
Easier to get through
It's becoming harder to endure them
I guess I better find something new to do
Considering finding new activities to occupy time
Since I don't have you
Expressing the absence of someone (possibly a romantic partner)
(Woo!)
An exclamation, possibly indicating frustration or emphasis
Always aspired to be a romantic
Always had a desire to be a romantic person
To preach my love and endlessly pine
Intending to express love and yearning endlessly
But what puzzles me is my sudden fluency
Confusion about suddenly being adept at using clichéd pickup lines
With all these tired-ass pickup lines
Despite the difficulty of sleepless nights
These sleepless nights aren't getting any
It's not getting easier to cope
Easier to get through
Considering finding new pursuits to engage in
I guess I better find something new to do
Reiterating the absence of a significant other
Since I don't have you
Emphasizing the lack of the person in question
I don't have you
Repeating the absence of the significant other
What can I do?
Expressing helplessness about the situation
Oh dear, I'm awfully blue
Feeling deeply sad or depressed
You say that I need to find the
Being advised to recognize one's own worth
Value in myself
Receiving a suggestion to seek professional assistance
Recommended that I seek professional help
Rejecting the need for an expert to point out personal struggles
Don't need an architect to tell me that I'm falling apart
Asserting the awareness of one's emotional breakdown
And why should I try in vain to find
Questioning the effort to find peace within the mind
Some sort of peace within my mind?
Considering it impractical to love when missing a part of the heart
I think it's foolish to try to love when you're missing a
Realizing the futility of trying to fill emotional voids
Piece of your heart
Recognizing the challenge of finding beauty within oneself
So I see now that there's not much sense in
Understanding the lack of sense in seeking external solutions
Looking to fill the holes
Accepting the difficulty of finding fulfillment
When I can't find the beauty that lies within
Acknowledging the challenge of appreciating oneself
These "jelly rolls"
Referring to personal imperfections with a metaphorical term
(Hey!)
An exclamation, possibly indicating frustration or emphasis
These sleepless nights aren't getting any
Despite the difficulty of sleepless nights
Easier to get through
It's not getting easier to cope
I guess I better find something new to do
Considering finding new pursuits to engage in
Since I don't have you
Reiterating the absence of a significant other
I don't have you
Emphasizing the lack of the person in question
What can I do?
Expressing helplessness about the situation
Oh dear, I'm awfully blue
Feeling deeply sad or depressed
(La La La...)
An expressive interlude, possibly indicating emotional distress
These sleepless nights aren't getting any
Despite the difficulty of sleepless nights
Easier to get through
It's not getting easier to cope
I guess I better find something new to do...
Considering finding new pursuits to engage in
