None of This
Breaking Free: Lily Talmers' Resilience in Love's Microscope
Lyrics
None of this sneaking up on me, pressing your lips tight looming there softly
Rejecting surprise advances, expressing discomfort with close proximity and insincere affection
None of that old spin cycle, laundry's been clean a long while
Dismissing past emotional turmoil, indicating that the emotional baggage has been resolved
None of this playing the martyr, helping you get off harder
Refusing to play the victim, rejecting the role of facilitating someone else's pleasure
None of that car door slamming, none of those mean eyes grabbing at me
Rejecting dramatic exits and negative attention, refusing to be controlled by hostile looks
None of this claiming you loved me; none of this asking me how I'm doing
Denying past declarations of love and disinterest in discussing personal well-being
I'm doing just fine yes please, thanks
Asserting self-sufficiency and contentment
I'm doing I'm doing just great
Reiterating a positive self-assessment and overall well-being
None of this remorse rising; setting real low as you compromise your worth
Rejecting feelings of regret while highlighting the lowering of self-esteem due to compromises
No one's quite pinned you down have they darling?
Questioning the inability of others to understand or define the individual
And none of that bitter thing where you feign indifference claiming that I was admired
Refuting insincere indifference and false claims of admiration
I wasn't admired I was stuck on the tightrope of your microscope eyes
Describing feeling trapped under scrutiny and judgment from someone close
And none of this was every warranted by something I did or said
Asserting that the situation was not justified by the individual's actions or words
None of this, none of this, none of this, none of this, none of this
Emphasizing the repetition of denying the current undesirable situation
None of your revelations, none of your trying to pin down my savior
Rejecting revelations and attempts to control the speaker's beliefs or choices
None of your rich kid guilt trip, none of this life's doing with us anyway
Dismissing guilt trips related to socio-economic status and questioning life's impact on the relationship
None of this claiming you loved me; none of this asking me how I'm doing
Repeating the rejection of past declarations of love and avoidance of personal inquiries
I'm doing just fine yes please, thanks, I'm doing I'm doing just great
Asserting well-being and positive emotions
None of this was ever warranted by something I did or said
Reiterating the lack of justification for the negative situation based on the speaker's actions or words
None of this none of this none of this none of this none of this
Emphasizing the persistent denial of the current undesirable situation
None of that bitter thing where you feign indifference claiming that I was a liar
Rejecting false claims of dishonesty and feeling scrutinized by someone close
I wasn't a liar I was stuck on the tightrope of your microscope eyes
Clarifying that the speaker was not a liar but felt judged by intense scrutiny
