Lyrics

I thought I knew what love was

I believed I understood the meaning of love

Was I mistaken?

Was my understanding incorrect?

Or were we really faking?

Or were our expressions of love not genuine?

Too many nights

Experienced too many sleepless nights

Were I couldn't sleep

Unable to sleep during numerous nights

Looking at the ceiling

Reflecting on the situation, contemplating

What's happened to me?

Feeling lost or confused about the current state


I feel like I would

Believing that being alone might be better

Be better on my own

Prefer solitude over repeating the experience

Rather than do this all again

Avoiding going through the emotions again

Catch all those feels again

Avoiding rekindling intense emotions

On my own

Choosing to be alone


I will never tell you

Keeping personal feelings hidden

How I'm feeling

Unwilling to disclose emotional state

If I told you secrets

Questioning the trustworthiness of sharing secrets

Would you keep them?

Seeking assurance in keeping confidences

Cos my heart ain't bullet proof

Expressing vulnerability, susceptibility to emotional harm

To tell me that you

Claiming that declarations of love are deceptive

Love me is misleading

Current need for emotional recovery and solace

Right now I'm

Currently requiring emotional healing

In need of some healing

Feeling overly exposed or susceptible

Cos I'm way too vulnerable


And at the end of the day

Realization that self-inflicted pain occurred

I was only hurting myself

Acknowledging self-harm rather than external harm

And

This was no good for my health

Recognizing that the situation is detrimental to well-being

I

Wouldn't want to go

Aversion to repeating the emotional cycle

Through the cycle all again

Unwillingness to undergo the emotional process again

Wouldn't wanna

Preferable to stay as friends

Be more than friends

Avoiding deeper emotional involvement

You made me realise

Realization that personal happiness is self-contained

All I needed in this life

Understanding that self-sufficiency is essential

Is just me...

Contentment in being alone


I thought I knew what love was

Reiterating the uncertainty about love

Was I mistaken?

Questioning the accuracy of previous beliefs

Or were we really faking?

Considering the possibility of insincere emotions

Too many nights

Repeating the experience of sleepless nights

Were I couldn't sleep

Recalling numerous sleepless nights

Looking at the ceiling

Reflecting on the current emotional state

What's happened to me?

Feeling lost or confused about the current state


I feel like I would

Belief that solitude is a preferable state

Be better on my own

Choosing to be alone rather than repeating the experience

Rather than do this all again

Avoiding the re-emergence of intense emotions

Catch all those feelings again

Prefer solitude over reliving intense feelings

On my own

Choosing to be alone

On my own
