BETTER SOMEHOW
Navigating Shadows: Mia Simone's Reflection on Concealed Pain
Lyrics
I find I romanticize almost everything
Feeling a tendency to idealize almost everything.
Behind my eyes is my mind over analyzing
Expressing an inclination to overthink and analyze things within the mind.
Though I try to make it stop it's never ending
Despite efforts, the attempt to cease overanalyzing seems futile and persistent.
Im ashamed of the way I keep on pretending
Admitting a sense of shame for pretending or putting on a facade.
I'm scared of breaking down 'cause I know you won't be sticking around
Fearful of emotional breakdown because of the anticipation that someone won't stay through difficult times.
I'm scared of standing my ground but I know
Fearful of asserting oneself, but acknowledging that feeling better is inevitable.
I'll feel better somehow
Expressing hope or belief that despite fears, there will be an improvement in the emotional state.
What I know and what I show are conflicting
Highlighting a conflict between what is known internally and what is outwardly displayed.
I am hurt but give me your worst it's so addicting
Expressing a paradoxical attraction to pain or negativity.
I read your lies and realize that you're winning
Acknowledging the impact of deceit and realizing the other party's advantage.
The little give that you play on the healing
Referring to manipulative behavior that plays on the vulnerability of healing.
I'm scared of breaking down 'cause I know you won't be sticking around
Reiteration of the fear of emotional breakdown due to the anticipated lack of support.
I'm scared of standing my ground but I know
Reiterating the fear of confrontation but maintaining the belief in eventual improvement.
I'll feel better somehow
Restating the expectation that, despite fears, things will get better emotionally.
I'm scared of breaking down 'cause I know you won't be sticking around
Recurrence of the fear of emotional breakdown and the expectation of someone not staying.
I'm scared of standing my ground but I know
Reiteration of the fear of standing up for oneself but maintaining faith in feeling better.
I'm scared of breaking down 'cause I know you won't be sticking around
Repeating the fear of emotional breakdown, emphasizing the expected lack of support.
I'm scared of standing my ground but I know
Reiterating the fear of asserting oneself while holding on to the belief in improvement.
I'll feel better somehow
Final affirmation of the belief that, despite fears, there will be emotional improvement.
