Unraveling Hearts: Unforeseen Emotions
Lyrics
Maybe there just wasn't any master plan
Contemplating the absence of a predetermined life plan.
Maybe it's just the way she was
Suggesting that the situation may be a result of someone's inherent nature.
Maybe you've just since become a super-fan
Speculating on the possibility of becoming an enthusiastic supporter of one's own emotional pain.
Of the pain stuck in your gut
Acknowledging the persistence of emotional distress.
Or even worse, you made her up
Considering the potential fabrication or idealization of a past relationship.
I'd ask the hard things fast
Advocating for direct and honest questioning, especially about difficult matters.
Or don't ask them at all
Emphasizing the importance of either addressing tough questions promptly or avoiding them altogether.
If you wanted to be left alone again
Expressing a desire for solitude similar to that experienced in a past season.
Like you were in the fall
Reflecting uncertainty about receiving a call from a significant other.
You never know if she will call
Highlighting the unpredictability of a potential call.
But she won't call
Asserting that the anticipated call will not occur.
It was just a pleasure having known you at all
Expressing gratitude for knowing someone despite the challenges.
When you weren't so in your way
Recalling a time when the person was less self-obstructive.
I should know better now when I'm so unwell
Admitting awareness of better choices in the present but choosing not to follow them.
But I just won't today
Declining to make a wiser decision despite being unwell.
I'm pretty sure you feel the same
Presuming a shared emotional experience.
Warming in the part of the brain
Describing emotional warmth in a specific part of the brain.
That settles for less
Acknowledging a tendency to settle for less in relationships.
I hope you find you should you go insane
Wishing for self-discovery in the face of potential insanity.
When you find out the rest
Anticipating revelation and understanding of the complete truth.
I ask the hard things fast
Reiterating the importance of forthright questioning.
Or I don't ask them at all
Echoing the earlier sentiment about facing tough questions directly or avoiding them.
If you wanted to be left alone again
Expressing a desire for solitude akin to being in a hallway.
Like you're still in the hall
Emphasizing the uncertainty of receiving a call, reminiscent of a past experience.
You never know if she will call
Reiterating the unpredictability of a potential call.
But she won't call
Affirming the belief that the anticipated call will not happen.
Maybe she just didn't love you like we planned
Considering the possibility that a person did not love as initially envisioned.
Maybe she just misplaced her heart
Entertaining the idea that emotional detachment may explain the perceived lack of love.
Maybe she never meant to hold your hand
Suggesting that the absence of intention to hold hands might have led to emotional pain.
Then tear you all apart
Speculating on unintentional emotional harm leading to a breakup.
Maybe there just wasn't any master plan
Reiterating the theme of lacking a predetermined life plan.
