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.
