if you never bleed you never grow
Growing Pains: Love, Loss, and Self-Discovery in Jo Rossello's Melody
Lyrics
It'll take more than a minute but it'll sink in
Reflecting on a challenging experience that will eventually be understood.
I'm falling apart, thank God for my skin
Grateful for the ability to endure difficulties, symbolized by the protective nature of skin.
What am I gonna do with all of the hours?
Pondering how to utilize available time effectively.
Thank God for my mum, she makes me feel valued
Expressing gratitude for the supportive and validating role of the speaker's mother.
I re-assure you I have never lied
Asserting honesty and trustworthiness.
Everything I did was for you, but you pushed me out
Actions were motivated by love, but the recipient pushed the speaker away.
I know in my heart we had a good balance
Believing there was a positive equilibrium in the relationship.
I'm missing the day when you gave me flowers
Nostalgia for a time when romantic gestures were present.
Ooh, I don't know why you left in such a rush
Expressing confusion and sadness about the sudden departure of someone.
Ooh, when I just wanted to talk
Expressing a desire for communication.
I'll have you know
Asserting the uniqueness of the speaker.
There's only one of me, and I was yours
Claiming exclusivity in the relationship.
Until he played us both, and you let me go
Referencing a third party who played both individuals, leading to separation.
I call your bluff
Challenging the truthfulness of the other person.
You said you loved me, was that false?
Questioning the sincerity of past declarations of love.
Cause you didn't put up a fight
Highlighting the absence of resistance during a challenging situation.
I can't get that off my mind
Struggling with persistent thoughts about the past.
If you never bleed you never grow
Stating the philosophy that personal growth often involves overcoming pain.
If you never bleed you never grow
Reiterating the idea that challenges are essential for personal development.
If you never bleed you never grow
Emphasizing the importance of experiencing difficulties to evolve.
Every day was a good memory, you'll see
Recalling positive memories from the relationship.
Couples like us aren't found easily
Highlighting the rarity and value of the speaker's type of relationship.
I put you first, and it kills me to think
Expressing sacrifice and pain from prioritizing the other person.
That we got 10% of what could've been
Regretting that the relationship fell short of its full potential.
Ooh, I don't know what you're like now
Expressing uncertainty about the current nature of the other person.
Ooh, or why you haven't reached out
Questioning why there has been no attempt at reconnection.
I'll have you know
Reiterating the uniqueness of the speaker.
There's only one of me, and I was yours
Reasserting exclusivity in the relationship despite external interference.
Until he played us both, and you let me go
Referring to the third party's actions leading to separation.
I call your bluff
Challenging the sincerity of the other person.
You said you loved me, was that false?
Questioning the authenticity of past expressions of love.
Cause you didn't put up a fight
Highlighting the lack of resistance or effort from the other person.
I can't get that off my mind
Struggling with persistent thoughts about the past.
If you never bleed you never grow
Reiterating the philosophy that personal growth involves overcoming pain.
If you never bleed you never grow
Emphasizing the idea that challenges are crucial for personal development.
If you never bleed you never grow
Reiterating the importance of experiencing difficulties for growth.
