We're Over
Unspoken Farewells: Exploring the Emotions in Johnny Rodriguez's 'We're Over'
Lyrics
We're over
We have ended our relationship.
I guess you know we're over
It is assumed that you are aware of our breakup.
Even though, all the words are still unsaid
Despite not explicitly expressing it, the end of our relationship is evident.
And we talk of other things instead
We avoid discussing the actual breakup and divert our conversation to other topics.
We're over
We have officially and definitively ended our relationship.
We come and go but we're over
We repeatedly go through cycles of being together and breaking up.
We go on, like the actors in a play
We continue with our lives as if performing in a play, detached from genuine emotions.
Acting out our lives from day to day
We act out our lives as if following a script, day by day.
Going through our phrases
We repeat certain phrases or behaviors in our relationship.
With smiling, frozen faces
We maintain outward appearances with forced smiles and unchanging expressions.
That tell more than they hide
Our expressions reveal more than they conceal.
And knowing when we fake it
We recognize when we are pretending or being insincere.
It's not love when you make it
Engaging in intimate acts without genuine emotions does not constitute love.
Without any feelin' inside
Performing actions without emotional depth is not a true expression of love.
We're over
Our relationship has definitively ended.
That's all we are, we're over
We are now nothing more than a concluded chapter in each other's lives.
And all that's left is to find a reason why
All that remains is to understand the reasons behind our breakup.
We're over, and we still can't say goodbye
Despite the breakup, parting ways emotionally is still challenging.
