I Never Know What to Say
Unveiling Emotions: 'I Never Know What to Say' by Lela Rosanelli
Lyrics
Oh please, don’t see me as someone you cannot touch
Requesting not to perceive the speaker as unapproachable or distant.
I’m right here, waiting for you
The speaker is present and ready for a connection with the listener.
To tell me how long you’ve been waiting for us
Inviting the listener to share the duration of their anticipation for a relationship.
I may be going too far but
Acknowledging a potential overreach but emphasizing trust is still possible.
It doesn’t mean you cannot trust
Expressing that the speaker's actions should not undermine trust.
I still don’t know how but baby
Admitting uncertainty but expressing optimism about the future.
Things will get good for us
Believing that positive things will happen for the speaker and the listener.
I wish there was less in my head
Desiring a clearer mind, feeling burdened by excessive thoughts.
I’m carrying too much weight
Acknowledging a heavy emotional burden or responsibility.
I ask myself if I’ve gone mad but
Questioning one's sanity but asserting difficulty in expressing thoughts.
I never know what to say
Expressing difficulty in finding the right words to communicate.
Lay your weapons down so I can
Encouraging vulnerability by asking the listener to lower defenses.
Show you who I am
Expressing a willingness to reveal the speaker's true self to the listener.
You don’t need to change your mind
Asserting that the listener doesn't need to change their opinion.
So please stop to pretend
Requesting the listener to stop pretending or putting on a facade.
I may be going too far but
Reiterating the potential for overreach but emphasizing trustworthiness.
It doesn’t mean you cannot trust
Reaffirming that trust is possible despite potential missteps.
I still don’t know how but baby
Expressing uncertainty about the future but maintaining optimism.
Things will get good for us
Believing in positive outcomes for the speaker and the listener.
Lay your weapons down so I can
Encouraging the listener to lower defenses for the speaker to reveal their true self.
Show you who I am
Reiterating the speaker's willingness to show their authentic self to the listener.
You don’t need to change your mind
Asserting that the listener's perspective doesn't require a change.
So please stop to pretend
Requesting the listener to stop pretending or acting insincerely.
