Unraveling Emotions: Kole Larsen's C.A.T.E. Story
Lyrics
It's wearing me out if I'm honest
Expressing fatigue or exhaustion from a situation, being honest about it.
Darling I got nothing to say
Stating a lack of words or thoughts, possibly feeling a sense of emptiness or disconnect.
Cause I'm here if you want me but
Offering support but not willing to plead or insist on someone staying.
I'm not gonna beg you to stay
Not willing to beg for someone's presence, maintaining self-respect.
Telling myself we're fine if we just give it time
Trying to convince oneself that everything is fine with time, but uncertain.
But how many times will I find myself falling again
Expressing a recurring pattern of falling for someone who doesn't show emotions.
For somebody who won't cry at the end
Questioning the emotional investment in someone who won't show vulnerability.
So tell me you're feeling something
Seeking confirmation of emotional connection, but with a readiness to let go.
Then throw it away
Suggesting a willingness to discard emotions if they are not reciprocated.
I wish I couldn't see the way it could be darling
Expressing a desire to be oblivious to the potential of a relationship, avoiding pain.
You and me are running in place
Describing a stagnant relationship, not progressing but staying in one place.
Clinging to a maybe like you want me darling
Holding on to uncertainty or a slim chance, despite potential disappointment.
All you want is to be somebody to someone
Desiring significance or importance to someone in a romantic context.
So give me another reason to push you away
Asking for a compelling reason to distance oneself emotionally from the other person.
I'm chasing all the what ifs away
Attempting to dispel doubts and uncertainties in the relationship.
So tell me you need space if I don't lose my mind
Accepting the need for space but fearing the impact on one's mental state.
I'm losing my patience hate the way your smile
Expressing impatience and discomfort with the inconsistency of the other person.
Feels warm but still you're out of reach
Noting the warmth of a smile but acknowledging emotional unavailability.
Cause you must know what it's like to be okay
Believing the other person understands what it's like to be okay.
I did too but tonight I'll be stuck in my head
Anticipating being stuck in one's thoughts and emotions.
For somebody who won't cry at the end
Reiterating the emotional challenge of being with someone who won't show vulnerability.
So tell me you're feeling something
Seeking confirmation of emotions with a readiness to let go if not reciprocated.
And throw it away
Repeating the desire to discard emotions if they are not reciprocated.
I wish I couldn't see the way it could be darling
Expressing a wish for ignorance about the potential of a relationship to avoid pain.
You and me are running in place
Describing a relationship stuck in a static, unchanging state.
Clinging to a feeling like you want me darling
Clutching onto emotions despite uncertainty in the other person's feelings.
All you want is to be somebody to someone
Desiring significance or importance to someone in a romantic context.
So give me another reason to push you away
Requesting a compelling reason to distance emotionally from the other person.
Chasing all the what ifs away
Continuing to dispel doubts and uncertainties in the relationship.
You're so close but so far away
Expressing physical proximity but emotional distance.
And I know I'll never make you stay
Accepting the inevitability of the other person leaving.
And I wish that my mind wouldn't change
Wishing for emotional consistency despite the decision to walk away.
When I tell myself to walk away
Acknowledging internal struggles in maintaining the decision to leave.
So tell me you're feeling something
Seeking confirmation of emotions with a readiness to let go if not reciprocated.
And throw it away
Reiterating the desire to discard emotions if they are not reciprocated.
I wish I couldn't see the way it could be darling
Expressing a wish for ignorance about the potential of a relationship to avoid pain.
You and me are running in place
Describing a relationship stuck in a static, unchanging state.
Clinging to a feeling like you want me darling
Clutching onto emotions despite uncertainty in the other person's feelings.
All you want is to be somebody to someone
Desiring significance or importance to someone in a romantic context.
So give me another reason to push you away
Requesting a compelling reason to distance emotionally from the other person.
Chasing all the what ifs away
Continuing to dispel doubts and uncertainties in the relationship.
