Open Ended
Unfinished Business: Longing for Love's Reckoning
Lyrics
Didn't think I'd miss you
Expressing surprise at missing someone despite experiencing issues for fourteen months.
With fourteen months of issues
Reflecting on the duration of problems or conflicts endured.
Thought that with my shampoo you'd wash off
Expecting that contact or interaction would erase memories or feelings associated with that person.
I still hear you calling
Still hearing the person's voice or feeling their presence even in busy places.
In crowded rooms I'm haunted
Feeling haunted by memories or thoughts of the person in crowded settings.
Tattooed on my heart you're never gone
Indicating that the person has left a lasting emotional impact despite being physically absent.
I can't help but wonder
Contemplating whether the relationship has truly ended.
Is this really over?
Questioning if the situation between them has concluded.
If you want me back you're gonna have to say it first
Requiring the other person to initiate reconciliation if they desire to reunite.
Tell me you won't give up even if we crash and burn
Asking for reassurance that the other person won’t give up despite facing challenges in the relationship.
I would rather try again and end up getting hurt
Expressing a willingness to risk getting hurt again by trying to make the relationship work.
Then leave it open ended
Choosing not to leave the relationship ambiguous or unresolved.
Gotta say, gotta say it first
Emphasizing the necessity for the other person to express their feelings or intentions first.
Fourteen months no speaking
Referring to a period of fourteen months without communication.
Only see you through a screen when
Mentioning seeing the person only through a screen, possibly indicating virtual interactions.
I'm checking in to see if you moved on
Checking to see if the person has moved on from the relationship.
Remember what you told me?
Recalling a past promise or commitment made by the person.
I'd be your one and only
Being assured of being the only one for the person, irreplaceable.
Couldn't be replace by anyone
Believing that no one else could take their place in the other person's heart.
If you want me back you're gonna have to say it first
Reiterating the need for the other person to take the first step if they want reconciliation.
Tell me you won't give up even if we crash and burn
Seeking assurance that the person won’t give up despite facing difficulties.
I would rather try again and end up getting hurt
Preferably attempting the relationship again despite the risk of emotional pain.
Then leave it open ended
Opting not to leave the possibility of reconciliation uncertain.
Missing your calls
Feeling the absence of the person's calls, understanding it's not their fault.
Isn't your fault
Recognizing that the person's absence in communication isn't necessarily their wrongdoing.
But you and I still got unfinished business
Acknowledging unresolved matters or emotions between them.
Wanna hate you
Expressing conflicting feelings of wanting to dislike or resent the person but failing to do so.
But you stay put in my mind
Despite wanting to move on, unable to forget or remove the person from thoughts.
I can't help but wonder
Repeating the contemplation about whether the relationship has truly ended.
Is this really over?
Questioning the finality of the situation between them.
If you want me back you're gonna have to say it first
Reiterating the need for the other person to initiate reconciliation if they desire it.
Tell me you won't give up even if we crash and burn
Asking for reassurance that the person won’t abandon the relationship despite challenges.
I would rather try again and end up getting hurt
Being willing to risk emotional pain by attempting the relationship again.
Then leave it open ended
Opting not to leave the relationship in an uncertain or unresolved state.
Gotta say, gotta say it first
Emphasizing the necessity for the other person to express their feelings or intentions first.
Gotta say, gotta say it first
Reiterating the importance of the other person taking the initiative in expressing themselves.
