Love Lost and Self-Discovery: Monae Morae's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Uh
Expression of uncertainty or hesitation.
Baby I was holding on know what I'm saying
Regret about holding onto something for too long.
I should've let ago a long time ago But I
Acknowledgment of the need to let go, despite reluctance.
I just feel like we would get through it
Optimistic belief in overcoming challenges in the relationship.
But we never got through it
Recognition that the challenges were never resolved.
I knew you love me
Affirmation of past love.
Used to make me feel some type of way
Recollection of feeling a positive emotional impact from the partner.
And now stuck all in my feelings by my lonley
Current emotional state of feeling trapped in solitude.
You said you'll keep me in your heart for eternity
Reference to a promise of eternal love.
But I need me cause its always
Self-realization that personal needs are not fulfilled in the relationship.
Been about you
Reiteration of the focus on the partner in the past.
About you
-About you bae
-Always been about you
-About you
-About you bae
-Yes im tired of you
Expressing fatigue and a desire for change.
I'm really tired of being fake because I'm over you
Authenticity sought by ending a facade and being true to oneself.
And lately we been really distant I been off of you
Acknowledgment of increasing emotional distance in the relationship.
I know it's hard to believe it but I'm done with you
Decision to move on from the relationship despite difficulties.
And I finally found somebody that can see my pain
Discovery of a new person who understands and shares the pain.
So many bad nights fuck I can't stand the rain
Reflection on difficult times and emotional struggles.
I kept my feelings to myself for way to long
Admission of withholding feelings for an extended period.
I had faith us
Past faith in the relationship, now lost.
Now it's gone
Confirmation of the dissolution of love.
I knew you love me
Reiteration of past love.
Used to make me feel some type of way
Recollection of positive emotional impact, now contrasted with loneliness.
And now stuck all in my feelings by my lonely
Current emotional state of feeling trapped in solitude, echoing line 8.
You said you'll keep me in your heart for eternity
Reference to the promise of eternal love, contrasted with personal needs.
But I need me cause its always
Self-realization of the constant focus on the partner, contrasting personal needs.
Been about you
Reiteration of the past intense focus on the partner.
About you
-About you bae
-Always been about you
-About you
-About you bae
-Maybe I was holding on to what I thought you were
Reconsideration of the partner's true nature.
But when you feel alone eventually it starts to hurt
Acknowledgment of the emotional pain that arises from feeling alone.
A place for you inside my heart forever love for you
Reserved space for the partner in the heart despite the pain.
When people fall for the wrong people
Observation about people falling for the wrong individuals.
Guess my one was you
Recognition of the specific person causing emotional distress.
Baby I was holding back and now I know my worth
Acknowledgment of personal growth and realization of self-worth.
So I'm done with negativity
Decision to distance from negativity and seek positivity.
I need a charge
Metaphorical need for recharging and rejuvenation.
Finding pieces of my heart I never thought was true
Discovery of hidden emotions and aspects of oneself.
When people fall for the wrong people
Reiteration about falling for the wrong person.
Guess my one was you
Confirmation of the specific person causing emotional distress.
I guess my one was you
Repetition of the realization that the partner was the wrong one.
You you you
Final acknowledgment of the specific person as the cause of emotional turmoil.
One was you
