How to Love Thee
Unveiling Hearts: A Journey of Self-Discovery in 'How to Love Thee'
Lyrics
Oh I thought I could win
Feeling confident about winning
Oh how could that be?
Expressing confusion about the unexpected outcome
With all of my heart
Investing love wholeheartedly
And all my original sin
Acknowledging personal flaws or mistakes
But I tried and I tried
Attempting earnestly
And you saw through my lies
Facing exposure of deceit
Who I was, who I'm not
Reflecting on true and false aspects of self
When I hide from your true golden eyes
Feeling vulnerable in the gaze of the loved one
So whisk me away to find a place I'd rather be
Desiring escape to a preferred place
I'm much more content when you are near or beside me
Expressing contentment in proximity
And I don't know how to let you take care of me
Uncertain about accepting care
So I guess I still don't know
Admitting lack of knowledge about loving
How to love thee
Continued uncertainty about expressing love
Can I find home in time?
Seeking a sense of belonging
Before the sun starts to shine
Concern about time running out
Should I run? Should I hide?
Contemplating fleeing or staying
Do you know where I try to confide?
Questioning the availability of a confidant
So whisk me away to find a place I'd rather be
Desiring an ideal place
I'm much more content when you are near or beside me
Reiterating contentment in proximity
And I don't know how to let you take care of me
Struggling with accepting care
So I guess I still don't know
Reiterating uncertainty about expressing love
How to love thee
Continued uncertainty about expressing love
Why can't you hear me?
Expressing frustration or desperation
Why don't you care?
Questioning the level of care received
Do you not love me?
Doubting reciprocated love
Are you even there?
Questioning the presence of the loved one
How do I reach you?
Seeking a means to connect emotionally
I don't have a clue
Expressing confusion or uncertainty
Do I need to be broken
Questioning the necessity of vulnerability
For me to love you?
Exploring the connection between brokenness and love
I guess I still don't know
Reiterating uncertainty about expressing love
How to love thee
Continued uncertainty about expressing love
