Following Directions
Lost Trust and Broken Paths: Following Directions
Lyrics
I tell you once, I tell you twice Three more times, you can't suffice
I tell you multiple times, but you still can't meet the requirements
Traffic jam with no headlights You're leading me to my demise
Your actions are leading me towards a harmful or destructive outcome
Pete and repeat over again I'm getting sick of doing this
Repeating the same actions over and over, causing frustration
You can't control your attitude I'm tired of your every move
Your behavior is difficult to handle, and I'm tired of it
Sick of wasting time Reading in between the lines
Frustration with spending time trying to understand hidden meanings
You can't control your mouth When I try to set the ground
You can't control what you say, especially when I try to establish boundaries
I listen to you When you tell me what to do
I pay attention to your instructions
I'm always at the door When you need me to do more
I'm always available when you need more from me
You're not good at following directions You treat me like a crime
You struggle to follow given instructions and treat me poorly
You're such a petty guy Can't believe I bought you wine
You're insignificant and not worth the effort; regretting past gestures
I, I believed in you To reciprocate my every move
I trusted you to reciprocate my actions, but you failed
I've lost all hope for us I don't know who to trust
Lost hope in the relationship, unsure whom to rely on
You're not good at following directions You made my courage go away
Your inability to follow instructions has diminished my courage
Caused everlasting pain I'll complain if you don't listen to me
Your actions have caused lasting pain; I will voice my dissatisfaction
Well, do you make me sick? I guess I'll just quit
Questioning if you make me feel physically ill; contemplating quitting
But you're not following directions And I'm not giving you corrections
Despite not following instructions, I won't provide corrections anymore
You're not good at following directions You treat me like a crime
Reiteration of your poor ability to follow directions and mistreat me
You're such a petty guy Can't believe I bought you wine
You're petty, and I regret the past gesture of buying you wine
I, I believed in you To reciprocate my every move
I had faith in you reciprocating my efforts, but that belief is shattered
I've lost all hope for us I don't know who to trust
No hope left for the relationship, unsure whom to trust
You're not good at following directions You're not good at following directions
Emphasizing again your inability to follow instructions
You're not good at following directions
Reiteration of the theme: you're not adept at following directions
