Lovin' You Right
Love's Unraveling Symphony: Matt Fockler's Journey Through Struggle and Redemption
Lyrics
I ain't been lovin' you right
The speaker acknowledges not treating their partner well in the relationship.
It ain't no wonder my days turned to nights
The speaker reflects on how their actions have led to a dark and troubled time in their life.
Feathers flyin' from the fallen fight and angels cry
Describes a turbulent situation with imagery of feathers flying, suggesting a conflict or disagreement, and angels crying, conveying a sense of sorrow or regret.
Back and forth and in between
Describes a back-and-forth, indecisive nature in the relationship.
Upon the fence I chase my dreams
The speaker, metaphorically sitting on a fence, pursues their dreams but loses sight of what is truly important.
And all along lose what means
Throughout the pursuit of dreams, the speaker loses touch with the essence of a meaningful life.
To live so free
Reflects on the loss of freedom resulting from not living authentically.
Make up my mind and I walk on down
The speaker makes a decision and moves forward.
Next breath I turn around
Immediately after deciding, the speaker hesitates or second-guesses their choice.
Sure enough I've let you down
The speaker realizes they have disappointed their partner once again.
All around
The disappointment is widespread or pervasive.
I see your tears and I feel them too
The speaker acknowledges the pain of their partner by recognizing and sharing in their tears.
I was made to be with you
Expresses a belief or destiny in being together with the partner.
You're beside me all the way through

That I knew

I ain't been lovin' you right

It ain't no wonder my days turned to nights
Repeats the reflection on the negative impact of the speaker's actions on their life.
Feathers flyin' from the fallen fight and angels cry

Back and forth and in between

Upon the fence I chase my dreams

And all along lose what means
Repeats the idea of losing touch with the true meaning of life.
To live so free
Reiterates the acknowledgment of a diminished sense of freedom due to not living authentically.
