Relief
Love's Quest: Finding Solace in Jade Omari's 'Relief'
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
VERSE 1
I’m running out of ways that I can hide it
Feeling a lack of ways to conceal emotions
My heart and mind stay divided
Feeling internally conflicted
Cuz even when your gone still feel so close
Even in your absence, the emotional connection remains strong
I could disappear and still hear your ghost
Despite disappearing, the emotional presence of the other person remains
It’s like I’m always reminded
Constantly reminded of the relationship
There’s no way for me to fight it
Unable to resist the feelings
Cuz I can go and try but there’s still no hope
Trying but feeling hopeless
Cuz ain’t no point in trying if there’s still no growth
No motivation to try if there's no progress
But it’s so easy to say that there’s something wrong with me
It's easy for others to blame
Or to stare and point all of the problems that they see
Others pinpointing perceived issues
But I bet I’m not the only one who has the fear of being alone
Common fear of loneliness
Lately it’s been feeling like it got harder just to breathe
Struggling, feeling suffocated
And it gets a little worse every time somebody leaves
Each departure intensifies the struggle
So I tell myself It’s no one’s responsibility
Self-reassurance of personal responsibility
But my own
Emphasis on self-accountability
Cuz I could be a straight liar
Potential for deceit despite desire for honesty
Until the day that I die but
Rejecting the idea of a dishonest lifestyle
That ain’t the way that I’m tryna be
Seeking genuine, reciprocal love
I don’t give love in hopes to receive
Desire for balanced, mutual affection
But I don’t wanna keep fighting
Fatigue from one-sided efforts
If it’s always gone be one sided
Wanting something deeper than superficial appearances
I need something more than what eyes can see
Yearning for a profound emotional connection
I need your love to be my relief
Seeking the other's love as solace
VERSE 2:
VERSE 2
Cuz I already been through this before
Reliving past emotional experiences
And I don’t wanna ever have to see you walk out the door
Fearing the loss of the current relationship
So you don’t gotta break the silence
No need to explain as the silence speaks volumes
Cuz i already know what it means, know what it means
Understanding the unspoken
Hope you know that for you I’d go to war
Willingness to fight and protect
And that I’d be the first to make sure that you don’t hit the floor
Ready to prevent harm or pain
Do whatever just to make sure that you know that it’s more than a dream
Determined to make dreams a reality
More than a dream
Emphasizing the authenticity of emotions
I know we would make it baby higher than the tree tops
Belief in a promising future together
Every morning lovin’ on you while the neighbors ease drop
Envisioning intimate mornings despite external attention
I’m just tryna love up on you til you begging please stop
Expressing affection despite potential limits
You know it’s no secret that for you I got a sweet spot
Openly acknowledging deep affection
You know that I’m with it we’ll do whatever you say so
Willingness to comply with the other's desires
We could show out for the world or mami we could lay low
Choice between public display or privacy
Love you from a distance but you know it’s not the same though
Physical distance impacts emotional connection
Still don’t understand exactly what we gotta Wait for
Confusion about the necessity of waiting
