Lyrics
Amazing grace
Expressing the extraordinary nature of grace or divine favor.
Came in the form of a slap in the face.
Describing a surprising or shocking experience that felt like a wake-up call.
Now I don't
Expressing skepticism or disbelief in what is observed.
Believe what I see anymore.
Questioning the reliability of perception and reality.
Cuz it's all the same.
Highlighting the repetitive nature of experiences or relationships.
We wander in and out of love
Describing the cyclical and potentially damaging nature of love.
Like it's meant to scar us and
Suggesting that love may leave emotional scars.
We never change.
Stating the resistance to change despite negative experiences.
No we never think to change
Emphasizing the reluctance to consider change in relationships.
But don't tell me that I'm wrong.
Challenging the notion of being wrong, asserting vulnerability.
You know I'm not that strong.
Acknowledging personal weakness and fragility.
And I never thought that loving you
Reflecting on the unexpected pain that love can bring.
Would hurt for so long.
Expressing the duration and intensity of emotional suffering.
I worshiped you
Describing a deep level of admiration and devotion.
And I praised your name and I
Recalling a period of intense worship and glorification.
Lived through you like a messiah.
Comparing the experience of living through the person to a messiah.
While saving face
Admitting to prioritizing outward appearance and reputation.
I let my pride control me
Allowing pride to influence decisions and actions.
When you refused to hold me.
Regretting the consequences of letting pride control the relationship.
And I never placed blame.
Claiming not to place blame or hold resentment.
And then one day
Realizing a lack of genuine communication in the relationship.
It just occurred to me that
Noticing a one-sidedness in communication, feeling unheard.
You talked and never heard me.
Expressing a sense of neglect and lack of understanding.
And I stood by you and never changed.
Remaining loyal despite unreciprocated efforts.
No we never think to change.
Reiterating the resistance to change in the relationship.
But don't tell me that I'm wrong.
Repeating the resistance to being told one is wrong.
You know I'm not that strong.
Reiterating personal vulnerability and lack of strength.
And I never thought that loving you would hurt for so long.
Acknowledging the unexpected and prolonged pain of love.
I worshiped you.
Recalling a past phase of intense devotion and worship.
I praised your name.
Emphasizing the act of praising and glorifying the person.
I lived through you like a messiah.
Reiterating the comparison of living through the person to a messiah.
And I bled for you.
Describing a sacrifice or suffering endured for the person.
And I screamed your name.
Expressing emotional pain through vocalization.
And I worshiped you like a messiah.
Reiterating the intense devotion and worship, likening it to a messiah.
