Dying from Lack of Love: Juliana Hatfield's Heartfelt Journey
Lyrics
Close my eyes again
Seeking to shut out reality momentarily.
I watch you run away
Observing someone depart.
Put my heart on ice
Guarding emotions, numbing oneself.
It hurts like hell to have had better days
Experiencing pain due to past better times.
Up and over the sun
Surpassing difficulties, rising.
Not forever but higher than heaven
Reaching a height beyond expectations.
Now I go no one
Being solitary, unnoticed.
And I'm dying from lack of love
Suffering from a lack of love and care.
And affection
Longing for affection.
Get in line, get in line, get in line
Repeated emphasis on yielding oneself to others.
I'm giving myself away
Offering oneself willingly.
Come on baby, kiss me
Inviting intimacy.
It doesn't really matter anyway
Indicating a sense of indifference or resignation.
One more time
Repetition of experiences before the end.
We're all gonna die someday
Acceptance of mortality as an inevitable reality.
It's the one sure thing
Asserting the certainty of death.
With a question mark for an answer
Life's uncertainties represented by a question.
Everybody sing
Encouraging collective participation despite despair.
My feeling for you endures like cancer
Comparing enduring feelings to a destructive force.
Get in line, get in line, get in line
Reiteration of surrendering oneself.
I'm giving myself away
Continued willingness to offer oneself.
Like a jaded ingenue
Feeling world-weary yet young and inexperienced.
I tried so hard to get you out of my mind
Struggling to forget someone.
But the lies I tell myself
Lies used to cope, breaking with time.
They break down over time
Futile attempts at altering perceptions.
Throwing rocks at clouds
Attempting to ruin optimism.
To tear their silver linings
Destroying hope and positivity.
Knocking rainbows down
Preventing personal progress.
To keep myself from climbing
Repeatedly relinquishing oneself.
Get in line, get in line, get in line
Continuing to offer oneself despite circumstances.
I'm giving myself away
Consistent self-sacrifice or surrender.
