Still Missing
Yearning for Perfection: Unveiling the Emotion in Michael Garmany's 'Still Missing'
Lyrics
I'm not looking for something to satisfy an urge
I am not seeking something merely to fulfill a temporary desire
I want never ending
I desire something enduring, lasting
I want something I'm not even sure that I deserve
I want something I am uncertain if I deserve
But I keep pretending
Despite uncertainty, I continue to act as if
I'm still just as thrilled every time you say you feel like
Even now, I am excited whenever you express a feeling of connection
Maybe this was meant to be
Considering the possibility that our connection is fated
So we keep getting closer, just to get our hopes up
We draw closer, raising our expectations
When I'm not sure that I agree
I am unsure if I agree with this approach
(Come on break it down)
(A break in the narrative)
I think I know where this going
I have an idea where this situation is heading
But I pray to God I'm not right
I hope that my assumption is incorrect, seeking a better outcome
Tell me I'm trippin'
Requesting confirmation that I am mistaken
I see which way the wind is blowin'
Perceiving the direction of events
And either something's different this time
Sensing a change or uncertainty in the current situation
Or something's still missing
Questioning if something crucial is still absent
Feels like maybe no one's ever gonna measure up
Feels like no one will ever meet the standard
I'll never be certain
I remain uncertain about certain aspects
Caught between being all alone and feeling stuck
Torn between solitude and feeling trapped
So I keep on searching
Continuing the search for something elusive
For something so elusive, finally scared to loose it
The elusive is now feared to be lost, making it precious
Can't imagine moving on
Unable to imagine moving forward without it
But no one's ever hurt me, made me feel unworthy
No one has caused me pain or made me feel unworthy before
No one's ever proved me wrong
No one has challenged my beliefs until now
I think I know where this going
Revisiting the expectation of where things are headed
But I pray to God I'm not right
Hoping that assumptions about the future are incorrect
Tell me I'm trippin'
Seeking reassurance that I am mistaken
I see which way the wind is blowin'
Observing the direction of prevailing circumstances
And either something's different this time
Perceiving a potential change in the current situation
Or something's still missing
Questioning if something crucial is still absent, a recurring theme
I'm so sick of breaking up and always waking up in bed by myself
Expressing weariness of frequent breakups and waking up alone
Every time I think I'm closer, I'm just getting over somebody else
Every attempt to get closer seems to involve getting over someone else
I'm so sick of breaking up and always waking up in bed by myself
Continuing the frustration of breakups and solitude
Every time I think I'm closer, I'm just getting over somebody else
The cycle of getting closer only to move on from someone else repeats
