Conflicted
Conflicted Love: Struggles in Relationships
Lyrics
Why do you choose violence when it comes to me
Questioning why violence is chosen in the relationship.
Why is it your never give me what I need
Expressing dissatisfaction with not receiving essential things.
All I crave is love and a little peace
Desiring love and peace as fundamental needs.
But if you are tapped out then you could up and leave
Suggesting the option to leave if emotional resources are exhausted.
Why do you choose violence when it comes to me
Reiteration of questioning violence in the relationship.
Why is it your never give me what I need
Repeating dissatisfaction with unmet needs.
All I crave is love and a little peace
Reiterating the desire for love and peace.
But if you are tapped out then you could up and leave
Suggesting leaving if emotional resources are depleted.
Some days I love the way you made me feel
Acknowledging positive feelings on some days.
Most days it was hard for me to keep it real
Highlighting difficulty in being genuine most days.
I can't lie no more, this is not a fairy tale
Rejecting the idea of a fairy tale; embracing truth.
I know you can see, cause it ain't hard to tell
Asserting that the truth is evident and easily seen.
Girl I know you still want me
Acknowledging the partner's lingering feelings.
But I can't sit back and act like it's okay, no no
Refusing to pretend that everything is okay.
Girl, you're a liar, you've been lying
Accusing the partner of dishonesty and lying.
Then start crying, I don't care
Indifference to the partner's emotional response.
It's really your fault why you're not here.
Attributing the partner's absence to their own actions.
Why do you choose violence when it comes to me
Repeating the inquiry about violence in the relationship.
(Can you answer me?)
Prompting the partner to answer the question.
Why is it your never give me what I need
Reiterating dissatisfaction with unmet needs before departure.
(Right before you leave)
Noting the timing of dissatisfaction just before leaving.
All I crave is love and a little peace
Expressing the continued desire for love and peace.
But if you are tapped out then you could up and leave
Suggesting the option to leave if emotional resources are depleted.
Why do you choose violence when it comes to me
Reiteration of questioning violence in the relationship.
Why is it your never give me what I need
Repeating dissatisfaction with unmet needs.
All I crave is love and a little peace
Reiterating the desire for love and peace.
But if you are tapped out then you could up and leave
Suggesting leaving if emotional resources are exhausted.
