Lyrics
Say you don't want to do this anymore
Suggesting a desire to end a relationship or situation.
End this piece by piece
Expressing the idea of ending things gradually or in stages.
Picking apart of my heart
Describing the emotional pain of having one's heart dissected or broken.
And I don't mind
Acknowledging a need for occasional solitude.
A little alone time, from time to time
Accepting and valuing moments of being alone.
But I can't succeed
Expressing a difficulty in succeeding or moving forward without clear signals or commitment from the other person.
If you don't give me a sign
Requesting a sign or indication of mutual commitment.
You want this as bad as I've shown mine
Asserting that the speaker has demonstrated their commitment and now seeks the same from the other person.
I already got one worry
Revealing an existing worry or concern.
That's not my choice, and yes it's my boy
Acknowledging a responsibility or concern related to the speaker's child.
So don't divert my attention to this petty obsession
Discouraging distraction from important responsibilities with trivial matters.
Of not doing what you're called to do, we will all lose
Stressing the collective loss if one neglects their obligations.
But I'll push it down
Suppressing or internalizing worries temporarily.
Until one day it comes out, somehow
Hinting at the eventual expression of suppressed emotions.
You can say I'm "worrying about nothing at this point"
Addressing the perception that the speaker's concerns are baseless.
But is my livelihood something I should avoid?
Questioning the appropriateness of avoiding concerns related to one's well-being.
Let's call it even
Proposing a fair resolution or compromise.
Because I'm not ready for leaving
Expressing a lack of readiness or willingness to end the situation.
Can we call it even?
Reiterating the desire for a fair resolution and expressing an unreadiness to part ways.
Not ready, not ready for leaving
Emphasizing the speaker's unpreparedness or unwillingness to leave.
I'm not ready
Repeating the assertion of not being ready for a separation.
