How'd You Have Me
Navigating Love's Puzzle: Unraveling the Depths of 'How'd You Have Me'
Lyrics
I've saved up enough courage
I have gathered enough courage
And I'll spend it now
I am ready to use that courage now
But all for what, I ask myself
Questioning the purpose of my actions
No, it doesn't feel that an answer matters
Realizing that answers may not make a difference
Oh, I thought I needed you to give me strength
Initially believed I needed support for strength
The things I'd hoped you'd say
Expecting specific words of encouragement
But as you stayed quiet, I'd just wonder
Disappointment as the expected words remain unspoken
Only one thing left I wished I knew
Expressing a desire for knowledge
How did you have me and I only got you?
Reflecting on the imbalance in the relationship
If it's all bad timing and there's no control
Considering the possibility of uncontrollable bad timing
Not gonna do anything
Deciding not to take any action
You'll do everything I want from now on
Shifting control to the other person's actions
When I'm with you change your voice, you change your face
Noticing changes in demeanor when together
Scared to say what's wrong
Feeling hesitant to express concerns
But we kept going on, yeah, kept going on like
Continuing the relationship despite challenges
Two adult children engaged in separate play
Describing a relationship dynamic
You can run down all those days to me
Asking about the significance of past events
Go through the whole year, but why?
Questioning the purpose of reliving the past year
Only one thing left I wished I knew
Reiterating the desire for understanding
How did you have me and I only got you?
Highlighting the one-sidedness of the relationship
If it's all bad timing and there's no control
Speculating on the role of bad timing and lack of control
Not gonna do anything
Choosing inaction in response to the situation
You'll do everything I want from now on
Shifting responsibilities to the other person
No-one else would be as patient
Acknowledging the unique patience of the other person
Or at least be so forgiving
Or considering forgiveness as a key trait
I'm not curious at all that your heart was
Indifferent to knowing the state of the other person's heart
You can talk and I might listen
Willing to listen if the other person speaks
Hate the words, you're sure no present
Disliking certain words but still open to communication
I'm done living powered by this hurt
Rejecting a life driven by emotional pain
Only one thing left I wished I knew
Repeating the desire for understanding
How did you have me and I only got you?
Reiterating the imbalance in the relationship
If it's all bad timing, and there's no control
Emphasizing the impact of bad timing and lack of control
Not gonna do anything
Affirming the decision to refrain from action
You'll do everything I want from now on
Transferring control to the other person's actions
