Beat Back Love
Unrequited Devotion: Battling Love's Pursuit
Lyrics
I was around
I have been present in your life.
The first time you fell down,
During the first time you faced difficulties or challenges.
Picked you up off the playground
I supported you when you needed help.
And I've never once asked
I never sought recognition or asked for attention.
'Hey what about me?'
Despite my contributions, I haven't demanded reciprocation.
I've been the one
I've been the consistent presence amid your relationships.
Between all the boyfriends,
Acting as a stabilizing force between your boyfriends.
To hold you
I provided emotional support by holding you.
And all of your problems;
I've been there for you in times of trouble.
What do I have to do to make you see?
Expressing a desire for recognition or understanding.
You beat back love
Suggesting resistance or opposition to love.
But somebody wants you.
Despite resistance, someone is interested in you.
You've had enough,
You've faced emotional challenges.
But somebody needs you.
Despite challenges, someone relies on you.
You push and shove,
Acting defensively or avoiding love.
But somebody's still in love with you.
Someone still has feelings of love for you.
You fight it off,
Resisting or rejecting love.
But somebody finds you.
Despite resistance, someone discovers you.
You build a wall,
Creating emotional barriers or defenses.
But it doesn't hide you.
These defenses are ineffective in hiding your true self.
You try to fall,
Attempting to experience love but facing obstacles.
But somebody won't let go of you;
Someone persistently holds onto feelings for you.
Somebody will always be in love with you.
Highlighting the enduring nature of someone's love for you.
I'm the one you've always been close to,
Emphasizing a close and intimate connection between us.
Know all the things that I'm not supposed to,
Aware of aspects of your life that are kept secret.
Saved you from the wolves at 2AM.
I protected you during challenging moments.
All the nights you were lying beside me,
We shared intimate moments, possibly beyond friendship.
Too close for friends in the light of a TV,
Close moments during late nights, suggesting a deeper connection.
When will the longing stop and the love begin?
Expressing a desire for the transition from longing to love.
