I'm Just Scared
Navigating Love's Turbulence: I'm Just Scared by Laura Ziani
Lyrics
Don’t know how you keep it together, together
Feeling uncertain about how you maintain composure and stability
While I’m going more insane
Expressing a sense of growing insanity or emotional turmoil
I keep asking if you’ll leave me, leave me
Continuously questioning if the partner will abandon or reject
But you won’t
Reassurance that the partner won't leave
No you won’t
Repetition emphasizes the certainty that the partner will stay
I’ve been told I’m not attractive lonely
Being informed about perceived lack of attractiveness and loneliness
Now I’m holding in my tears, tears
Suppressing tears despite emotional distress
I’m just scared ‘cause you feel so homely, so homely
Fearful because the partner provides a comforting and familiar feeling
When I don’t
Emphasizing the partner's role in alleviating fear
When I don’t
Repetition underscores the significance of the partner's presence
I don’t, I don’t
Emphasis on the absence of something critical
Why are you not there when I come home?
Questioning the partner's absence upon returning home
Come home
Repetition reinforces the theme of returning home
I’m just scared
Summarizing the emotional state as fear
I’m just scared
Reiteration of the primary emotion
Just scared
Further emphasis on the prevailing fear
Just scared
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the overarching fear
