Insanity
Silent Suffering: Pleading Insanity in Love's Turmoil
Lyrics
You caught me crying again
The person singing was caught crying once more.
over something so small and insignificant
The reason for the tears seemed trivial and unimportant.
so You told me to dry up
The singer was instructed to stop crying.
said I was being childish
They were criticized for behaving in a childish manner.
that I twisted Your words up
There's a feeling that the singer misunderstood the speaker's intentions.
what You said isn't what You meant
There's a discrepancy between what was said and what was meant.
so I'll plead insanity
The singer declares they'll claim insanity as a defense mechanism.
and I'll lay down and let you walk all over me
They're willing to be passive and let the other person mistreat them.
and I'll be quiet when You speak
They'll remain silent while the other person speaks.
no You won't ever hear another word out of me
The singer vows not to speak up again.
cause I plead insanity
Reiteration of using insanity as a defense to cope with the situation.
now I don't wanna leave You
Expresses reluctance to leave the other person.
but I don't think I should stay
Contemplating leaving due to the toxic nature of the relationship.
cause You only love me when I try to walk away
The other person shows affection only when the singer attempts to leave.
and You say You don't know why
The other person claims ignorance about the singer's emotional distress.
I act like I'm wounded all the time
Perception of constant emotional pain caused by the other person.
but You break me down so much I'm hollow on the inside
Feeling emotionally empty due to repeated breaking down by the other person.
so I'll plead insanity
Reiteration of using insanity as a coping mechanism.
and I'll lay down and let you walk all over me
Willingness to endure mistreatment without resistance.
and I'll be quiet when You speak
Commitment to silence in the face of mistreatment.
no You won't ever hear another word out of me
Reaffirmation of refusing to speak up again.
so I'll plead insanity
Reiterating the use of insanity as a defense mechanism.
and I'll lay down and let you walk all over me
Continued willingness to endure mistreatment passively.
and I'll be quiet when You speak
Commitment to remaining silent despite mistreatment.
no You won't ever hear another word out of me
Repeated determination to never speak up again.
cause I plead insanity
Final reaffirmation of using insanity as a coping strategy.
