Break The News
Love's Uncertain Path: Break The News by Jodie Mellor
Lyrics
I've been telling my friends a lot about you
I've been discussing you with my friends frequently.
When they're asking if it's lasting
When they inquire about the longevity of our relationship.
I don't want to speak to soon
I'm cautious not to speak prematurely.
Cause I've been so used to the hurting
Because I've become accustomed to pain and uncertainty.
That now I'm a little uncertain
Now I feel a bit unsure as I'm not perfect for you.
I'm not good enough for your perfect
I acknowledge my imperfections, and I'm still learning.
I'm still learning
Admitting to ongoing personal growth.
Not to travel light in case you might decide it's time to book a one way flight
Emphasizing the need to be prepared and not take things lightly, anticipating a possible end.
Would you say if you were falling out of love?
Asking if the partner would communicate if they were falling out of love.
Cause I've been waiting for you to break the news
Expressing a desire for the partner to be honest and break the news.
You haven't said it but I'm still preparing to hear it when you do
Even though it hasn't been said, mentally preparing for the possibility of the relationship ending.
Cause this time around I've got everything
Confident that this time, everything is in place.
And everything to lose
Despite having everything, there is still the risk of losing it all.
Would you tell me if you felt me and I felt different?
Questioning if the partner would reveal a change in feelings.
Would you hide it in a white lie
Asking if the partner would hide the truth with a small lie.
Shaped like forehead kisses with something missing?
Describing a deceptive gesture, like forehead kisses, with an underlying emptiness.
I wanna know what you're feeling
Expressing a desire to understand the partner's true emotions.
Don't wanna show it's the real thing
Not wanting to pretend; seeking authenticity in the relationship.
Oh you've never given a reason
Not given any reasons for doubts, but still thinking.
But I still think
That you'll say that you're falling out of love
Anticipating the partner admitting to falling out of love.
I've been waiting for you to break the news
Waiting for the partner to break the news.
You've never said it but I'm still preparing to hear it when you do
Mentally preparing for the news, even though it hasn't been explicitly stated.
Cause this time round I've got everything
Confident that everything is in place this time as well.
And everything to lose
Despite having everything, there is still the risk of losing it all.
So I'll travel light in case you might decide it's time to book a one way flight
Reiterating the need to be prepared for a possible end.
Would you say if you were falling out of love?
Repeating the question about the partner's feelings.
Cause I've been waiting for you to break the news
Expressing a continued anticipation for the partner to break the news.
You've never said it but I'm still preparing to hear it when you do
Mentally preparing for the news, even though it hasn't been explicitly stated.
Cause this time around I've got everything
Confident that everything is in place this time as well.
And everything to lose
Despite having everything, there is still the risk of losing it all.
