Unfair
Unraveling the Bitter Truth: Kate Voegele's Unfair Journey
Lyrics
The city sleeps
The city is quiet and asleep.
So silently
I wish I could be as peaceful as the city.
Wish I could say the same for me
I cannot find peace within myself.
But I've got this dead ended street
I feel stuck in a situation with no way forward.
To keep searching
Continuing to search for a solution or escape.
For a tunnel underneath the bitter truth
Trying to find a way to avoid facing a harsh reality.
Or a bridge invisible I won't fall through
Hoping for an invisible solution to avoid consequences.
And I don't know how much I can keep
Uncertain about handling the emotional vulnerability.
Letting you unravel me
Struggling with allowing someone to understand me deeply.
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
More intimacy leads to sharing more about ourselves.
We were worlds apart and you see
We were very different, but now you understand me.
It was so much easier to be
Life was simpler when we were distant.
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
Realizing what's unattainable and feeling it's unjust.
I never meant
I didn't fully mean the flattering words I said.
Most of those pretty words I said
Expressions were not entirely genuine.
But I wanted you to think I did
Desired to create a particular impression despite authenticity.
'Cause telling you all this makes no difference
Sharing doesn't seem to make a difference.
It's useless
Feeling that sharing emotions or thoughts is futile.
'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most
People who understand us deeply are often unattainable.
They always seem to be the ones we'll never hold
The ones who truly connect are usually out of reach.
And I don't know how much I can keep
Struggling with revealing myself further.
Letting you unravel me
Uncertainty about sharing more personal details.
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
Increased closeness means sharing more of ourselves.
We were worlds apart and you see
Despite differences, we understand each other now.
It was so much easier to be
Life was simpler when we were distant.
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
Recognizing the unfairness of unattainable desires.
Can't you see it's destroying me?
Feeling emotionally devastated by the situation.
I can't stand the closeness
Discomfort with emotional closeness.
But don't you dare go avoiding me
Urging not to avoid me despite the pain it causes.
It kills me and yet it keeps me going
The closeness hurts but also provides strength to continue.
And I don't know how much I can keep
Struggling with allowing someone to understand me deeply.
Letting you unravel me
Uncertainty about sharing more personal details.
'Cause the more you learn the more we share
Increased closeness means sharing more of ourselves.
We were worlds apart and you see
Despite differences, we understand each other now.
It was so much easier to be
Life was simpler when we were distant.
'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
Recognizing the unfairness of unattainable desires.
