Navigating Relationship Walls: Unspoken Distance
Lyrics
You're out and you're having fun with your friends
You are out enjoying yourself with your friends.
And I check, you're going out there again
I notice that you're frequently going out.
And who knows who you're really meeting up with
I'm uncertain about who you're meeting when you go out.
You don't even ask me to go
You don't invite or include me in your outings.
I've been solo, I'm doing fine, yeah
I'm managing on my own, appearing fine externally.
But down low, I'm pushing by, yeah
Internally, I'm struggling and trying hard to cope.
I know that I will survive it
I am confident that I will endure this situation.
Where did I go wrong please tell me
I'm questioning where I went wrong; please clarify it for me.
The girl you fell in love with
The person you originally fell in love with is still present and unchanged.
She's still here, she's still right in front of you
Her emotions are visible and evident.
And all her feelings show
However, soon they might fade if you don't act.
But soon they won't, just if you don't
Take care of the promises you made to me.
Take care of what you told me
Take care, be considerate, and support me.
Take care shut up hold me
Take care, it's an obligation you owe me.
Take care it's what you owe me
Focus on me and prioritize our relationship.
Take care of me and only
We have erected emotional barriers between us.
Cause we got different walls
We have differing perspectives or approaches.
We got different ceilings, baby
We have different thresholds for expressing ourselves; one is intense, the other is silent.
Coming on too strong, versus silence
Being overly passionate or excessively reserved are equally undesirable reactions in our situation.
Is the worst response
We maintain separate emotional boundaries.
We got different walls
Our emotional barriers are established, possibly too formidable.
Both are up, maybe too tall
These barriers continue to exist between us.
We got different walls
We still have contrasting emotional separations.
We got different walls
Repeated emphasis on our emotional differences.
Different ceilings baby
Highlighting the variance in emotional reactions between us.
Too strong
Reiterating the extremes of emotional intensity.
Worst Response
Reaffirming the negativity of extreme emotional reactions.
Different walls
Repetition emphasizing our emotional barriers.
Tall, yeah
Stressing the height or magnitude of these barriers.
Different walls
Reiteration of the emotional separations between us.
Different ceilings baby
Restating the differing emotional thresholds.
Too strong
Re-emphasizing extremes in emotional responses.
Worst Response
Reaffirming the negativity of extreme emotional reactions.
Different walls
Underlining our emotional differences once more.
Tall, yeah
Reiterating the considerable height or magnitude of emotional barriers.
Different walls
Reaffirmation of the existence of emotional walls between us.
