Forget How To Speak
Silent Struggles: Communication Breakdown in Relationships
Lyrics
Back out on the minefield
Feeling vulnerable or in a risky situation
I know I'm treading on critical ground
Acknowledging the sensitivity of the situation
Should keep the weapons in my pockets
Suggesting a need to control one's emotions
Overprepared for self defense
Being overly prepared for potential conflicts
And I play every possibility in my head
Considering various outcomes mentally
But I just can't find a way to get you to understand
Struggling to make someone understand
I'm all yours
Expressing openness or vulnerability
Throw stones
Suggesting criticism or blame
You're putting all the blame on me and
Attributing blame unfairly
I would
Willingness to accept blame
Take it
Willing to bear responsibility
But I forget how to speak
Difficulty expressing thoughts or emotions
Trapped in a pattern that's leaving me helpless
Feeling stuck in a repeating situation
You claim that I cannot feel
Challenging the other person's perception of emotions
Any kind of empathy
Denial of empathy
And I forget how to speak
Continued struggle in expressing oneself
The room has gone dead
Describing a tense and silent atmosphere
But the anger in your breath
Noticing anger in the other person
As I recognize intensifying pains in my chest
Physical manifestations of emotional distress
maybe I should I go to therapy to finally get better at communicating
Considering seeking professional help for communication
So I play every possibility in my head
Continuing to explore possible solutions mentally
And I start to understand I don't even understand myself
Realizing a lack of self-understanding
I'm all yours
Reiterating openness despite challenges
Throw stones
Perceived criticism or hostility
You're putting all the blame on me and
Unfairly attributing blame
I would
Willing to accept blame despite challenges
take it
Acknowledging frustration or dissatisfaction
You are fed up
Feeling overwhelmed or exhausted
I'm tied down
Feeling restricted or confined
We're tangled up in complications
Entangled in complex and difficult situations
I'd like to straighten it out
Expressing a desire to resolve issues
But I forget how to speak
Difficulty expressing thoughts or emotions (repeated)
I just forget how to speak
-I just forget how to speak
-Trapped in a pattern that's leaving me helpless
Feeling stuck in a repeating situation (repeated)
You claim that I cannot feel
Challenging the other person's perception of emotions (repeated)
Any kind of empathy
Denial of empathy (repeated)
I just forget how to speak
Difficulty expressing thoughts or emotions (repeated)
