Two Children
Navigating Love's Maze: Two Children's Journey
Lyrics
Leave me alone, I'm lonely
Feeling a need for solitude, expressing loneliness.
I don't need you to hold me
Rejecting physical comfort or support from someone.
My life stories boring
Perceiving one's life narrative as uninteresting.
I'm done telling it
Choosing to stop sharing personal experiences.
How could I be lonely?
Contradicting the initial claim of loneliness, possibly suggesting inner emotional turmoil.
When you're here with me?
Questioning the validity of feeling lonely when someone is present.
Scratching at my bedpost
Symbolic actions indicating inner unrest, restlessness.
Kicking at my feet
Expressing frustration or agitation through physical actions.
I don't know

I don't know

We're just playing house

Playing like two children
-I hate it when you're drinking

You keep embarrassing me
Feeling embarrassed due to the partner's actions.
I hate it when you're sober

Give me anxiety
Suggesting a desire to reset or rebuild the relationship.
Why don't we start over?
Nostalgia for the initial, more tender days of the relationship.
I miss those first days
-Everything was tender
Contrasting the past with the present, highlighting a perceived loss of tenderness.
Now it's all the same

Continued uncertainty or confusion about the relationship.
