Unpredictable Love: Navigating the Bullets and Roses of Emotion
Lyrics
You can mean well, you can still break me down
You can have good intentions, but still, hurt me emotionally.
I believe in hell, 'cause baby, I can feel it now
The singer believes in experiencing emotional pain akin to hell.
Always hanging on the edge, change of heart turning to red
Living on the edge with a changing heart that turns red, signifying emotional turmoil.
Planting flowers in my head, aiming for love hitting me instead
Mental imagery of planting positive thoughts, but love's impact is painful.
I never know when you're gonna stay, or you're gonna leave
Uncertainty about the consistency of the relationship, comparing it to unpredictable weather.
Bullets or roses always raining down on me
Metaphorical reference to life's challenges represented by bullets or the beauty of roses.
Are you gonna give me paradise?
Questioning whether the partner will provide a perfect, idyllic life.
Are you gonna shoot everything you see?
Concerns about the partner's potential destructive behavior.
I never know when it's guns and roses
Expressing uncertainty about whether the relationship brings pain or pleasure.
Chasing after you feels a little dangerous
Pursuing the partner feels risky and potentially harmful.
I could give it all, but it never is enough
Despite giving everything, it seems insufficient to meet the partner's needs.
Just when I think we're friends, all of your words turn to led
Perceived friendship turns negative, with words becoming hurtful.
Planting flowers in my head, aiming for love hitting me instead
Reiteration of planting positive thoughts, yet love causes pain.
I never know when you're gonna stay, or you're gonna leave
Continued uncertainty about the stability of the relationship.

Describing the partner as unpredictable in actions and emotions.
I never know what I'm gonna get, I never know what I'm gonna get

Always hanging on the edge, change of heart turn to red
Repetition of emotional turmoil with changing hearts turning red.
Planting flowers in my head, aiming for love hitting me instead
Reiteration of positive thoughts being overshadowed by painful love.
I never know when you're gonna stay, or you're gonna leave
