Long Way Down
Love's Precarious Descent: Navigating the Long Way Down
Lyrics
I used to be the kind of girl
I used to be a girl who never lost in a fight.
Who'd never lose a fight
Expressing a strong and confident personality.
I'd always get the final word
Always having the last word in a disagreement.
No matter what was right
Prioritizing personal conviction over what is objectively right.
I know it's hard to trust me
Acknowledging a difficulty in gaining trust due to past lies.
After all those little lies
Reflecting on the impact of numerous small lies.
Is it too much to ask you, love, to try?
Asking for the effort to trust again in the context of love.
It's a long way down to rock bottom
Describing the challenge of reaching rock bottom in a relationship.
I don't wanna take it that far
Expressing a reluctance to take the relationship to its lowest point.
Can we come back once I've fallen
Questioning the possibility of recovering once hitting rock bottom.
Or will we fall apart?
Pondering the potential disintegration of the relationship.
Or will we fall apart?
Repetition for emphasis on the fear of falling apart.
The air is cold between us, and,
Noting the emotional distance and coldness between partners.
It makes it hard to breathe
Feeling suffocated and strained due to the emotional distance.
Our competition freezes, babe
Describing a competitive atmosphere in the relationship.
Until we disagree
Disagreements causing a freeze in the relationship dynamics.
I drink too much and ask you
Indulging in unhealthy coping mechanisms, like excessive drinking.
If my best is just enough
Questioning if personal best efforts are sufficient for love.
Or is it I'm impossible to love?
Expressing insecurity about being lovable or not.
It's a long way down to rock bottom
Reiterating the challenge of descending to rock bottom in a relationship.
I don't wanna take it that far
Reaffirming the reluctance to reach an extreme low in the relationship.
Can we come back once I've fallen
Raising the possibility of rebuilding after a fall.
Or will we fall apart?
Revisiting the fear of the relationship falling apart.
Or will we fall apart?
Repeating the concern about the potential disintegration of the relationship.
No one's raised by angels
Asserting that nobody is perfect, emphasizing the universal nature of mistakes.
We all make mistakes
Highlighting the inevitability of making errors.
Before we fade to strangers
Before relationships become unfamiliar, seeking clarity and understanding.
Can we get straight?
Asking for direct communication to avoid becoming strangers.
It's a long way down to rock bottom
Reiterating the challenge of reaching rock bottom in a relationship.
I don't wanna take it that far
Expressing a desire to avoid reaching the lowest point in the relationship.
Can we come back once I've fallen
Possibly seeking reconciliation after a fall.
Or will we fall apart?
Revisiting the fear of the relationship falling apart.
Or will we fall apart?
Repeating the concern about the potential disintegration of the relationship.
Are we falling apart?
Pondering whether the relationship is currently falling apart.
