Good Enough To Let You Go
Unraveling Love's Grip: Good Enough To Let You Go
Lyrics
Try to be cool, try to be cordial,
Expressing an attempt to maintain composure and politeness.
See each other at the grocery store,
Describing chance encounters in mundane places like a grocery store.
Act like before, catch up and be normal,
Trying to act normal and catch up as if nothing has changed.
But that just leaves me standing still,
Feeling stuck and not progressing in the relationship.
Staring at the steering wheel,
Anxiety or overthinking represented by staring at the steering wheel.
Overthinking what I feel,
Deep contemplation about emotions and the relationship.
And wishing we were real
Expressing a desire for a genuine connection.
I'll forever be holding on, so if you ever loved me do me wrong
Commitment to holding on, even if it means enduring pain.
Go ahead and hurt me,
Inviting the other person to inflict emotional pain.
Make me feel unworthy,
Desiring to feel undeserving and hurt.
Baby leave me lonely, ghost me
Encouraging the partner to leave and abandon the speaker.
Good enough to make me go and hate you,
Acknowledging the emotional impact and the catalyst for hatred.
Scratch you out, erase you,
Expressing the desire to eliminate any trace of the person.
Don't show me no mercy, hurt me,
Requesting no mercy in the emotional pain inflicted.
Good enough to let you go
Accepting the necessity of letting go despite the pain.
If I'm ever gonna set you free,
Recognizing the need to release the person for personal freedom.
I need to see you as the enemy,
Changing the perception of the person from a lover to an adversary.
Not apartment 203 where I can show up late at 2am
Specifically identifying a location where temptation arises.
And you'll always let me in,
Highlighting a pattern of being allowed back into the other's life.
And I'll fall back in again,
Acknowledging the risk of falling back into old habits.
And the end is never the end
Emphasizing the cyclical and never-ending nature of the relationship.
Oh hurt me,
Reiteration of the desire to be hurt emotionally.
Make me feel unworthy,
Reinforcing the need to feel unworthy and emotionally damaged.
Baby leave me lonely, ghost me
Encouraging the partner to leave and disappear like a ghost.
Good enough to make me go and hate you,
Confirming the emotional impact of the partner's actions.
Scratch you out, erase you,
Expressing the desire to eliminate any memories of the person.
Don't show me no mercy, hurt me,
Reiterating the request for no mercy in the emotional pain.
Good enough to let you go
Acknowledging the emotional strength needed to let go.
I'll forever be holding on,
Repetition of the commitment to holding on despite the pain.
So if you ever loved me do me wrong
Encouraging the partner to wrong the speaker as a form of love.
Go ahead and hurt me,
Repeating the invitation for emotional pain and hurt.
Make me feel unworthy,
Reinforcing the desire to feel unworthy and hurt.
Baby leave me lonely, ghost me
Encouraging the partner to leave and disappear.
Good enough to make me go and hate you,
Confirming the emotional impact and the catalyst for hatred.
Scratch you out, erase you,
Expressing the desire to erase any traces of the person.
Don't show me no mercy, hurt me,
Requesting no mercy in the emotional pain inflicted.
Good enough to let you go
Acknowledging the emotional strength needed to let go.
Good enough to let you go
Reaffirming the acceptance of the necessity of letting go.
