Reveal Love
Unveiling Love's Complex Tapestry: Ken Stringfellow's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
There's so much pain
Expressing the presence of significant pain.
Pain behind us, behind beside us, pain through us
Describing the various ways pain is experienced—behind, beside, and through us.
Pain to make us or erase our sense of trust
Pain is a force that can either shape us or erode our trust in others.
Pain to bring us close or to undo us
Pain can bring people closer together or drive them apart.
I wanted you
Expressing a desire for someone.
In truth I want you still
Despite time passing, the desire for the person still exists.
But you're so far away
Feeling emotionally distant from the desired person.
Unless I play the rules by which you want to play
Feeling the need to conform to the desired person's rules to be close.
But then I feel you push me back
Sensing resistance or hesitation from the desired person.
As if it's challenge that you lack
Suggesting a lack of willingness to face challenges.
I say lover reveal love, never conceal love
Encouraging the lover to openly express love and not hide it.
I want you still
Reiterating the desire for the person despite challenges.
Lover be careful before you lose me
Cautioning the lover to be careful not to lose the speaker.
I won't be still
Asserting that the speaker won't remain passive or silent.
You're so alone
Describing the person as isolated or lonely.
Do you deserve it I know you think so
Questioning if the person deserves their loneliness.
Do you know what's real?
Asking if the person understands what is real.
Are you afraid what something real could make you feel?
Exploring the fear of experiencing genuine emotions.
You stayed with him
Referring to a past relationship where the person remained steadfast despite challenges.
On the losing side, you never gave in
Indicating that the person stayed committed even when on the losing side.
But he's so far away
Expressing emotional distance from the past partner.
And if he didn't help you then, he won't today
Suggesting that past support may not be available in the present.
And you're afraid to make the leap
Describing the fear of taking a significant step.
But I only play my heart for keeps
Committing to genuine emotions rather than playing casually.
I say lover reveal love, never conceal love
Reiterating the call for open love and discouraging concealment.
I want you still
Expressing continued desire despite challenges.
Lover be careful before you lose me
Warning the lover to be cautious not to lose the speaker.
I won't be still
Affirming the speaker's determination not to remain passive.
I want you still
Repeating the desire for the person.
Or I could wait for you to come
Offering the option to wait for the person's realization.
To the realization
Waiting for the person to understand and acknowledge.
And say lover reveal love, never conceal love--I want you still
Reiterating the call for open love and discouraging concealment.
Lover be careful before you lose me--I won't be still
Repeating the warning to be cautious not to lose the speaker.
Cause I want you still, I want you still
Emphasizing the enduring desire for the person.
