Going Under
Navigating Love's Turbulence: The Inner Struggle Revealed
Lyrics
Can I get a minute?
Requesting a moment of time.
I know you think I’m wrong,
Acknowledging disagreement in perception.
But just let me finish,
Asking for an opportunity to complete a statement.
I’ve been here all along,
Expressing enduring presence despite perception.
No one ever said it, but I think you’ve got a habit,
Suggesting an unnoticed tendency or addiction.
Always looking at the bad shit,
Consistently focusing on negativity.
Always thinking that we have it.
Perpetually believing in misfortune.
Look at the things that I’ve done,
Reflecting on personal achievements.
Nothing is ever enough,
Frustration over unappreciated efforts.
I try to be patient but I’m tired of waiting for something that I know won’t come.
Impatience due to awaiting something unattainable.
I’m not someone down on my luck,
Asserting self-worth despite challenges.
A diamond that’s stuck in your rough,
Being a valuable entity in a difficult situation.
And I’ll sit and take it though I’m sick of paying for something that I haven’t done.
Resentment for bearing unwarranted consequences.
I keep my head above the water,
Struggling but maintaining resilience.
But I can’t keep my thoughts in order,
Difficulty organizing thoughts amidst turmoil.
If we can wait a little longer,
Optimism about extending the struggle temporarily.
I’ll keep us both from going under.
Commitment to prevent mutual downfall.
Can’t blink can’t think,
Feeling incapacitated, mentally and emotionally.
Can’t feel a thing.
Numbing of emotions or sensations.
You’ve got the taste of the devil on your tongue now,
Perceiving a destructive influence.
It’s not your fault that you can’t figure yourself out,
Recognizing personal struggles with self-awareness.
And I’ve been trying to speak but you ain’t listening,
Attempting communication amidst being ignored.
You hear my voice but the noise around you blocks me out.
Difficulty reaching someone due to external distractions.
Look at the things that I’ve done,
Reiteration of unacknowledged efforts.
Nothing is ever enough,
Continued frustration over unappreciated actions.
I try to be patient but I’m tired of waiting for something that I know won’t come.
Impatience over unattainable desires.
I’m not someone down on my luck,
Reaffirmation of personal value amidst difficulties.
A diamond that’s stuck in your rough,
Perception of being a valuable entity despite challenges.
And I’ll sit and take it though I’m sick of paying for something that I haven’t done.
Discontent with bearing undeserved consequences.
Sick of being the one to blame
Tiredness of being blamed.
Don’t you understand the game
Asking for comprehension of a situation.
Have you broken or lost
Querying if something important is damaged or lost.
Picking up what you love
Attempting to salvage what is cherished.
Don't you see the only way to end this is up
Highlighting improvement as the sole option.
Only way to end this is us
Emphasizing the necessity of unity to resolve.
Only way to end this in love
Stressing resolution through love.
Let me keep you afloat
Desire to support and uplift.
Let me keep you afloat
Reiteration of the desire to provide support.
