Lyrics
Well you know that I am afraid to be alone
Expressing fear of being alone.
And you know in my heart
Acknowledging a deep emotional connection.
I love you so
Affirming love for the person.
But I need to understand why love has so many demands
Expressing a need to understand the complexities of love and its demands.
And why our heads can't work it out
Questioning why conflicts in relationships can't be resolved in the mind.
And why our mouths can't shout
Questioning the difficulty in verbal communication during conflicts.
Just let me go, let me go, let me go
Expressing a desire to be let go, possibly from the relationship's challenges.
Cuz I try hard to get through my stuff
Describing efforts to handle personal issues.
Yeah I try hard to play tough
Trying to project toughness in dealing with challenges.
And I please everybody yeah I never let anybody down
Attempting to please everyone and avoid disappointing others.
Down to my feet I am lonely
Acknowledging loneliness despite external efforts.
Lonely for myself to come clean
Expressing a desire for personal honesty and clarity.
To figger out my head and what's in between
Wanting to understand one's thoughts and emotions.
So feel this pull of the strings attached
Feeling the pull of emotional attachments.
And feel this friendship fall
Noticing the deterioration of a friendship.
And feel my fist smash down the wall
Expressing frustration and a desire to break down emotional barriers.
And let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Reiterating the plea to be let go.
Cuz when I stutter I am real really searching for words
Describing difficulty in expressing oneself verbally.
With my shakin hands touchin my face
Physical manifestations of emotional distress, like shaking hands.
Cuz I'm hurting myself to take
Self-inflicted pain to distract from emotional turmoil.
Well I'm hurting myself to take the feeling's place
Expressing a need to replace painful emotions with physical sensation.
And let me go, let me go, let me go
Reiterating the plea to be let go.
So feel this pull of the strings attached
Revisiting the theme of emotional attachments.
And feel this friendship fall

And feel my fist smash down the wall
Expressing frustration through physical action.
Down with my walls
Falling down metaphorical emotional walls.
Down with my walls
