loved me right
Love's Deceptive Dance: Laura Jean Pierson's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
Just when I thought that I was ready
Expresses readiness for a relationship
To be the kind of woman you might want to keep around
Desire to be a significant part of someone's life
I proved I'm not
Admits to failing this expectation
Just when I thought someone might want me
Hopes for someone's interest in a future together
For seasons yet to come, here come the leaves
Symbolizes changing seasons and passing time
And how they fall, and so do I
Feeling of personal decline or downfall
How you gonna tell me this time is the one that I won't have to come back from
Doubt about the sincerity of the present moment
Why give me love
Questioning the reason for receiving love
How you gonna tell me this time is the one that I could decorate like home
Doubt regarding the stability of a relationship
If you're gonna love me right, could you do it forever
Desire for enduring love and commitment
If you're gonna waste my time, then waste it all
Preferable to fully experience love or not at all
How you gonna hold me close, just to let me go
Pain of being embraced and then abandoned
'Cause baby when you loved me right you did me wrong
Contradiction in the effect of love received
Just when I thought that I was ready
Repeat of the readiness for a relationship
To be the kind of woman you might choose over the lights
Preference over materialistic allure
You proved I'm not
Failure in meeting someone's expectations
Just when I thought someone might want me
Desire to understand the essence of love
To know what love feels like
Reflecting on personal changes and emotions
Here come the leaves and how I fall and how they fly
Observing personal decline and external changes
How you gonna tell me this time is the one that I won't have to come back from
Reiteration of skepticism towards commitment
Why give me love
Questioning the purpose behind affection received
How you gonna tell me this time is the one that I won't have to cover up
Doubting the authenticity of a relationship
If you're gonna love me right, could you do it forever
Longing for enduring and genuine love
If you're gonna waste my time, then waste it all
Preference to fully invest in a relationship
How you gonna hold me close, just to let me go
Pain of being embraced and then abandoned
'Cause baby when you loved me right you did me wrong
Conflicted emotions about the impact of love
I don't wanna know what love feels like if I can't feel it tomorrow
Unwillingness to experience love if it won't last
I don't want anyone to hold me like they might break if they let go
Reluctance to be emotionally vulnerable
I don't want anyone to see my eyes and tell me how I look like home
Discomfort in being seen as vulnerable or intimate
I can't do it again
Unwillingness to go through a similar experience again
I can't do it again
Repeated reluctance to repeat past experiences
If you're gonna love me right, could you do it forever
Desire for lasting and committed love
If you're gonna waste my time, then waste it all
Preference to fully engage even if it leads to waste
How you gonna hold me close, just to let me go
Pain of being embraced and then abandoned
'Cause baby when you loved me right you did me wrong
Conflicted emotions about the impact of love
'Cause baby when you loved me right you did me wrong
Reiteration of the conflicted impact of received love
