You Were Right
Discovering Myself: A Journey through Relationships
Lyrics
Started listening to your favourite band
Started engaging with something you enjoyed, perhaps to understand you better.
And I had to stop listening to you
Stopped paying attention to the person, possibly due to differences or disagreements.
You were always trying to force my hand
You consistently tried to influence my decisions or actions.
But now I'm listening because I want to
Now, I'm engaging willingly because of personal interest rather than pressure.
You were right, I liked it
Acknowledging that the person was correct in their influence, admitting enjoyment.
You were wrong, I was a good friend
Contrasting the acknowledgment by stating that friendship was not compromised.
Started eating at your favourite place
Started dining at a place the person liked.
And I, I stopped eating with you
Stopped sharing meals with the person due to their attempts to control preferences.
You were always trying to force my taste
The person tried to influence your taste in things.
But now I'm eating there 'cause I want to
Now, dining there by choice, not influenced by external pressure.
You were right, I liked it
Reiterating that the person was right in their influence regarding preferences.
You were wrong, I was a good friend to you
Asserting that despite changes, you remained a good friend.
Twin hotel room, no bed to make
Describing a shared hotel room without specifying responsibilities.
What can I do to change myself for your sake?
Expressing a willingness to change for the person's benefit.
I don't want you here
Rejecting the person's presence due to feeling diminished or uncomfortable.
You make me feel so small, I'm gonna disappear
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed and wanting to distance oneself.
Started feeling like myself again
Regaining a sense of identity by avoiding mentioning the person's name.
The day I stopped saying your name
Suggesting a potential restart of the relationship but acknowledging it won't be the same.
We can try and start it up again
Openness to rebuilding, tempered by the realization that things have changed irreversibly.
But it's never gonna feel the same
The attempt at renewal will lack the original essence or connection.
You were right, I liked it
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person's correctness in their influence.
You were wrong, I was a good friend to you
Reasserting that despite changes, you remained a good friend to the person.
