Unveiling Life's Shrinking Spaces: Katie Buchanan's 'Room' Revelations
Lyrics
I know I'm no saint
I acknowledge my imperfections or flaws
But I think I do okay
I believe I manage well despite my shortcomings
Patient in my way
I am patient in my own way
A little better every day
I strive to improve a little every day
You, you're as you were
You remain as you were, possibly even worse
Maybe a little worse
There's a potential deterioration, growing in reverse
Growing in reverse
You are shrinking, and it's causing pain
Shrinking 'til it hurts
Shrinking until it becomes uncomfortable
Now there's no room left for us
There's no space or opportunity left for our relationship
There's no space left to save
There's no chance to salvage what remains
There's no room left for us
There's no room for both of us to coexist
I guess you got your way
You have achieved your desired outcome
No piper will be paid
No one will be rewarded or compensated
The song remains the same
The situation remains unchanged
One foot in the grave
A precarious position, on the brink of trouble
Let's play it as it lays
Let's deal with it as it is
And I won't be your ghost
I won't be a lingering presence in your life
No your secrets stay your own
Your secrets are yours to keep
No spreading out the bones
No sharing or revealing vulnerabilities
You'll bury them alone
You'll face and deal with your issues alone
And there's no room left for us
No opportunity or space remains for us
There's no space left to save
There's nothing left to preserve or rescue
There's no room left for us
No chance for reconciliation or coexistence
You finally got your way
You have finally achieved your desired outcome
I know I'm no saint
I reiterate that I am not perfect
But I think I do okay
Despite my imperfections, I believe I manage well
