To My Love
Embracing Change: A Love's Evolution in 'To My Love' by Jamie Drake
Lyrics
I know I’ve been a little scared
I acknowledge that I have been somewhat fearful.
Cuz’ when I met you I was unprepared
When I first encountered you, I was not ready for it.
I was a bird in a cage
I felt confined like a bird in a cage.
Who did not know her place
I lacked a clear understanding of my role.
So when it seems the sky will fall
In challenging times, I tend to protect myself by preparing to leave.
I’ll pack my bags and put up walls
I would be ready to leave and create emotional barriers.
And if what we have is real
If our connection is genuine,
You know you can always appeal
you have the option to seek resolution.
To my love
This is a declaration of commitment and affection.
To my heart
Referring to the speaker's emotional core.
Running away
Expressing a tendency to escape when frightened.
When it’s afraid
The fear is specifically related to the love being offered.
Of your love
Fear of the recipient's love.
Of your heart
Concerns the speaker's heart and its vulnerabilities.
Running away
Running away from the emotional connection.
If I’m to blame
If there are issues, the speaker takes responsibility.
We fly together to the sun
We embark on journeys together, facing challenges.
We make our music and we have our fun
Our relationship is filled with joy and shared experiences.
Sometimes we do disagree
Despite disagreements, the speaker remains reliable.
But you know that you can still count on me
Assurance of continued support from the speaker.
Cuz things are different than before
Acknowledging change and growth in the relationship.
And time has opened for us many doors
Time has provided new opportunities for us.
And even though things will change
Even in the face of change, there will always be a solution.
You know that there will always be a way
Emphasizes the permanence of finding solutions.
To my love
A repetition of commitment and affection.
To my heart
Reiterating a dedication to the emotional core.
Running away
Reiterating the tendency to escape when scared.
When it’s afraid
Reaffirming the fear of the recipient's love.
Of your love
Repeating concerns about the speaker's heart.
Of your heart
Continued fear of emotional connection.
Running away
Reiteration of running away from emotional ties.
If I’m to blame
Reaffirmation of taking responsibility for any issues.
And I’m not to blame
Final assertion that the speaker is not to blame.
