i wish i could tell you i need you
Unspoken Longings: Lilac Heart's Poetic Plea for Connection
Lyrics
Turn around, feel like I'm the only one who got my back
Expressing a sense of isolation and self-reliance, feeling unsupported.
Never found among the flowers, now I'm never coming back
Rejecting a past state of vulnerability and deciding not to return to it.
I wish I could tell you I need you, but you don't wanna say it back
Desire to express need for someone, but hesitation due to uncertainty about reciprocity.
I wish I could tell you I need you, but you don't wanna say it back
Repetition emphasizes the unspoken feelings and fear of rejection.
Turn around, feel like I'm the only one who got my back
Reiteration of the feeling of being alone and self-reliant.
Never found among the flowers, now I'm never coming back
Refusal to go back to a vulnerable state among the "flowers."
I wish I could tell you I need you, but you don't wanna say it back
Reiterating the desire to express need, despite the fear of not hearing it back.

Desire to express need despite the fear of non-reciprocal acknowledgment.
I wish I could tell you I need you, but you don't wanna say it back
Repetition underscores the internal conflict in expressing vulnerability.
I hate this feeling of attachment
Expressing discomfort with the emotional attachment.
The way I lie awake at night and wonder if we're gonna be alright
Night-time anxiety about the relationship's uncertainty.
I haven't heard from you and it could have been days
Not hearing from the person for an extended period, causing concern.
But I guess I'm being crazy if you promise it'll be okay
Accepting potential irrationality if reassured about the relationship's stability.
I guess I'm being crazy if you promise it'll be okay
Repetition emphasizes the acceptance of potential irrationality for reassurance.
I'll just lie among the flowers and I'll calm down
Deciding to find calmness among the metaphorical "flowers."
(You can walk away and forget me, 'cause I'll be gone now)
Expressing readiness to let go and be forgotten, implying departure.
Turn around, feel like I'm the only one who got my back
Reiteration of the feeling of being alone and self-reliant.
Never found among the flowers, now I'm never coming back
