Unraveling Love's Enigma: Lou Barlow's Legendary Tale
Lyrics
I know I wanted more than you could give to me
I desired more from the relationship than you were capable of providing.
I know there'll come a day I understand
I anticipate a future day when I will comprehend the situation.
Until then I'll be trying to solve a mystery
Until then, I will be attempting to unravel a perplexing situation or dilemma.
Wonder why I couldn't make you stay
I wonder why I couldn't convince you to remain in the relationship.
Smiling through denial, my specialty
I cope by smiling despite denying the reality; it's a skill I have developed.
I thought that was a good thing for awhile
I believed that denial was beneficial for a period.
You gave me all your secrets, were you testing me?
You shared all your secrets with me, perhaps to test my loyalty or strength.
How could I do anything but smile?
Given your actions, how could I respond with anything other than a smile?
Reenact your legendary tragedy
I am reenacting the tragic events in your life, replicating the pain inflicted on me.
Do to me what has been done to you
You are repeating the cycle of pain that you experienced.
Is that the only point to all this misery
Is causing misery the sole purpose of this experience?
Is there any reason I should cry?
Is there any valid reason for me to shed tears over this?
Heal, it takes time
Healing requires time and patience.
And you gave me all you had
You gave your best effort in the relationship.
I know in time I will believe
Eventually, I will come to believe that I loved you.
That I loved you, did you love me?
Did you reciprocate my love?
Heal, it takes time
Healing is a gradual process.
And you gave me all you had
You gave your all in the relationship.
I know in time I will believe
Over time, I will come to believe that I loved you.
That I loved you, you loved me
Did you truly love me in return?
You loved me.
You did love me.
