Pride
Heart's Dilemma: Love vs. Pride in Janie Fricke's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Well, you know that you're doing
Expressing awareness of inappropriate actions.
Lots of things that aren't right
Acknowledging a pattern of wrongful behavior.
you're out with a different party
Noticing the partner's socializing with others frequently.
Almost every night
Highlighting a high frequency of being with different people at night.
And you're making me look like a crazy fool
Feeling embarrassed due to the partner's actions.
So why do I have these doubts about leaving you
Questioning the decision to leave despite doubts.
Because my heart tell me stay and
Internal conflict between emotions and self-respect.
But my pride tells me go
The heart urges to stay for love.
But how can I leave you
The dilemma of leaving someone deeply loved.
When I love you so
Expressing strong feelings of love for the partner.
Which way shall I turn
Contemplating the right direction to take.
Well, I'd sure like to know
Expressing a desire for clarity in the situation.
My heart tells me stay
The heart advises staying despite difficulties.
But my pride tells me go
Conflicted feelings due to self-respect urging to leave.
Well, I'd be so much better off
Considering the possibility of emotional well-being without the partner.
To drive you from my mind
Desiring to forget and move on from the memories.
And make you a memory
Turning the partner into a past memory.
That I'd like to leave behind
Expressing the wish to leave painful memories behind.
But I know that these heartaches
Acknowledging the inevitable heartaches caused by the partner.
Are what you will put me through
Questioning the decision to leave despite anticipating heartaches.
So why do I have these doubts about leaving you
Repeating doubts about the decision to leave.
Because my heart tell me stay and
Reiterating the internal conflict between love and self-respect.
But my pride tells me go
The heart encourages staying despite internal conflicts.
But how can I leave you
The challenge of leaving a loved one.
When I love you so
Reaffirming the depth of love despite difficulties.
Which way shall I turn
Seeking guidance on the right direction to take.
Well, I'd sure like to know
Expressing a desire for clarity and certainty.
My heart tells me stay
The heart advises staying despite challenges.
But my pride tells me go
Self-respect urges to leave despite the emotional pull.
My heart tells me stay
Repeating the internal conflict between love and self-respect.
But my pride tells me go
Reiterating the dilemma of staying or leaving based on conflicting emotions.
