How Can I Better Love You
Unlocking Hearts: Lola Kristine's Plea for Deeper Connection
Lyrics
When will you open
Expressing a desire for the other person to open up emotionally.
When will you share your heart with me
Asking when the other person will share their feelings or emotions.
Here we are frozen holding to what we used to be
Describing a situation where both are emotionally stagnant, clinging to the past.
It seems you can't see it, you think I don't mean it
Noticed difficulty in understanding or acknowledging emotions; a plea for recognition.
Well what do I have to do
Frustration with a perceived lack of understanding; questioning what needs to be done.
How can I better love you
Seeking guidance on how to improve and enhance the love in the relationship.
Lost in emotion with every breath inside my chest
Feeling deeply immersed in emotions; possibly overwhelmed by feelings within.
We'll go through the motions, but covering up won't make it hurt less
Acknowledging routine actions in the relationship but aware that it doesn't ease the pain.
You say you can't see it, but really I mean it
Challenging the other person's perception of the emotions expressed.
What are we going to do
Expressing uncertainty about the future and seeking solutions.
How can I better love you
Reiterating the desire to improve the quality of love in the relationship.
You want me to stay
Noting the conflicting desire of the other person: wanting to stay while pushing away.
But all at the same time
Highlighting the contradictory emotions experienced simultaneously.
You push me away
Describing the feeling of being rejected or distanced.
Make me feel like I'm out of my mind
Expressing emotional confusion and questioning one's sanity.
I don't want to say that we could be through
Avoiding suggesting the end of the relationship but acknowledging the possibility.
So how can I better love you
Reiterating the central question of how to improve the expression of love.
We keep pretending covering up through all our pain
Acknowledging the pretense of normalcy while masking emotional pain.
Show me the ending - happily ever after again
Expressing a desire for a fairy-tale resolution, a happy ending.
I know there's a reason that all of my being is aching to know your truth
Recognizing an intense longing to understand the truth in the relationship.
How can I better love you
Reiterating the central question of how to improve the expression of love.
You want me to stay
Repeating the conflicting desire of the other person: wanting to stay while pushing away.
But all at the same time
Reiterating the contradictory emotions experienced simultaneously.
You push me away
Reiterating the feeling of being rejected or distanced.
Make me feel like I'm out of my mind
Repeating emotional confusion and questioning one's sanity.
I don't want to say that we could be through
Repeating avoidance of suggesting the end of the relationship but acknowledging the possibility.
So how can I better love you
Reiterating the central question of how to improve the expression of love.
