Rose Colored Lenses
Navigating Love's Maze: A Journey Through Rose Colored Lenses
Lyrics
Not gonna put my burdens all on you baby
Expressing reluctance to burden the listener with personal troubles.
But I been hurtin' don't know what to do lately
Acknowledging personal emotional pain and uncertainty.
Ooh go for a cruise take in the views
Yearning for a carefree escape, enjoying scenic drives.
When I was with you I had nothin' to lose
Reflecting on a past relationship where there were no consequences.
'Cept for myself
Except risking personal well-being.
Sleepless nights not good for my health
Admitting that sleepless nights negatively impact mental health.
Lookin' when you don't look for yourself
Observing others while neglecting self-awareness.
And you said you still wishing me well
Recalling a wish for well-being expressed by the former partner.
In loneliest moments I'm sittin' through hell
Enduring intense loneliness and emotional suffering.
Hoped that this would grow from a friendship
Expressing hope for a romantic relationship to evolve from friendship.
You should know fore you go that I meant it
Requesting understanding of genuine feelings before parting ways.
Felt like home I put down my defenses
Describing the relationship as a comforting and safe place.
Seein' red flags through rose colored lenses
Realizing potential issues in the relationship despite positive perceptions.
Blame myself cause I'm optimistic
Taking responsibility for being overly optimistic.
In my head, plot was twisted
Admitting a distorted perception and a complicated plot in the mind.
Momma said be realistic
Contrasting with parental advice to be realistic in relationships.
Instead I just wanna feel the mystic
Expressing a desire for a mystical and extraordinary experience.
Constructin' a narrative
Creating a story or explanation that goes beyond comparison.
Beyond comparison
Acknowledging impatience and frustration.
Patience is wearing thin
Questioning current actions and decisions.
What am I doin?
Expressing uncertainty and self-doubt about personal choices.
Think I'm allergic
Suggesting an aversion to negative emotions like despair.
To feeling despair again
Feeling the need for relief and avoidance of despair.
Need me some Clairitn
Humorously mentioning the need for a metaphorical "Clairitin" for clarity.
Somethin' is brewin'
Sensing that something unsettling or problematic is emerging.
I have a tendency
Acknowledging a tendency to be consistently reliable and supportive.
To be dependably
Highlighting a pattern of overextending oneself in relationships.
Overextendin'
Reflecting on excessive pursuit of goals or relationships.
And over pursuin'
Noticing a tendency to be too persistent in achieving objectives.
If you a friend of me
Expecting genuine friendship without pretense.
Then don't pretend with me
Requesting honesty and authenticity from friends.
Your sleight of hand
Referring to deceptive actions or manipulations.
Made for quite an illusion
Recognizing that deceptive actions create significant illusions.
Hoped that this would grow from a friendship
Repeating the hope for a romantic evolution from friendship.
You should know fore you go that I meant it
Reiterating the sincere expression of emotions before separation.
Felt like home I put down my defenses
Reaffirming the feeling of comfort and vulnerability in the relationship.
Seein' red flags through rose colored lenses
Revisiting the realization of potential issues through optimistic lenses.
