Unrequited Desires: Struggling for Love with Mom Friend's 'Str8 Girls'
Lyrics
Desire is unexplainable- you love those white bread boys
Expressing the inexplicable nature of desire, with a preference for a certain type ("white bread boys").
Why don't you want me, why don't you want me back?
Questioning the lack of reciprocation and seeking an explanation for the lack of interest.
I know it's unattainable, but I do not heed the voice
Acknowledging the perceived impossibility of the relationship but ignoring the warning against pursuing it.
That says you don't want me, you'll never want me back
Reiterating the belief that the person does not desire a romantic connection.
This burden's mine
Acknowledging a personal burden or emotional weight related to the situation.
I gave you too much of my time
Regretting the investment of too much time into the relationship.
So don't kiss my cheeks
Rejecting physical affection, possibly as a defense mechanism.
I gotta keep you out of reach
Expressing the need to maintain emotional distance or boundaries.
You let me get close to you the way you say others cannot do
Recalling moments of emotional closeness despite the apparent lack of reciprocated feelings.
But you don't want me, why don't you want me back?
Repeating the question about the lack of desire from the other person.
I cause that sparkle in your eye, then I go home and sit and cry
Acknowledging the ability to bring joy to the person but experiencing sadness privately.
Oh how can you not want me, how can you not want me back?
Expressing confusion and hurt over the perceived lack of reciprocal feelings.
This burden's mine
Reiteration of the personal burden and emotional weight of the situation.
I gave you too much of my time
Reiterating regret for investing too much time in the relationship.
So don't kiss my cheeks
Rejecting physical affection again, emphasizing the need for distance.
I gotta keep you out of reach
Reiterating the necessity to keep emotional distance.
I would give you anything, makes no difference I am wasting time
Expressing a willingness to give anything despite the realization that it may be futile.
Why don't you want me, why don't you want me back?
Repeating the question about the lack of reciprocated feelings.
Where is my intelligence? Why am I still holding onto this?
Reflecting on the apparent contradiction between intelligence and holding onto an unfulfilling relationship.
I know you don't want me you'll never want me
Accepting the inevitability that the person will never desire a romantic connection.
