Never Gonna Make Me Whole
Yearning Echoes: Nathan Alexander's Tale of Unfulfilled Dreams
Lyrics
I don't want to break
I am reluctant to shatter emotionally.
I just don't know how
I lack the understanding of how to avoid this emotional breakdown.
To keep on with these thoughts
Handling these thoughts continuously is challenging.
Without fallin' down
I struggle to manage these thoughts without succumbing to them.
And I can barely breath
I find it difficult to breathe due to the emotional weight.
I can barely stand
I am barely able to remain upright, physically and emotionally.
When everything I'd hoped for
The things I hoped for seem unattainable.
Is so far from my hands
My desired outcomes feel far from my reach.
My dreams are all of you
All my aspirations revolve around a specific person.
And every time I wake
Each time I awaken, I'm aware of this person's absence.
I know the one I'm dreaming of
The individual I yearn for is incapable of fulfilling me entirely.
Is never gonna make me whole, whole, whole, whole
This person cannot provide the completeness I seek.
Cause I don't want to break
I am apprehensive about emotional collapse.
I just don't know how
I lack the knowledge to avoid this breakdown.
To keep on with these thoughts
The continuous thoughts are challenging to manage.
Without falling down
I struggle to handle these thoughts without succumbing to them.
My eyes won't let me cry
My eyes refrain from shedding tears despite the emotional turmoil.
My mind says that I should
My rational mind tells me I should release these pent-up emotions.
Release of this emotion
Expressing these emotions would benefit my inner being.
Would do my soul some good
My dreams are all of you
All my aspirations center around a particular person.
And every time I wake
Every time I awaken, I recognize the absence of this person.
I know the one I'm dreaming of
The person I desire cannot fulfill my entirety.
She's never gonna make me whole, whole, whole, whole
This person cannot provide the completeness I seek.
And I'm walking on
I am persisting despite these emotions.
Dreaming on
I continue to dream and hope.
Pretending I don't see
Pretending to ignore the reality.
That the truth of this is
The truth is difficult to acknowledge.
I don't think you're
I doubt your capability.
Ever gonna make me (whole, whole, whole, whole)
You cannot complete me.
And I'm walking on
I am persisting despite these emotions.
Dreaming on
I continue to dream and hope.
Pretending I don't see
Pretending to ignore the reality.
That the truth of this is
The truth is difficult to acknowledge.
I do not think you are
I doubt your capability.
Ever gonna make me whole, whole, whole, whole
You cannot complete me.
My dreams are all of you
All my aspirations center around a particular person.
And every time I wake
Each time I awaken, I recognize the absence of this person.
I know the one I'm dreaming of
The person I desire cannot fulfill my entirety.
Is never gonna make me whole, whole, whole, whole
This person cannot provide the completeness I seek.
