Coffee Table
Shades of Grey: Unveiling the Heartbreak on a Coffee Table
Lyrics
Break me down and fool me once
Feeling broken down and deceived once.
Fragile glares and silent pause
Noticing delicate glances and moments of silence.
I forget where we start from
Forgetting the origin or starting point of the relationship.
When we amount to no fruitful sum
Realizing that the relationship has not amounted to any positive outcome.
And on that coffee table, I gave you took away
On a coffee table, something significant was given and taken away.
The pain of Cain and Abel the love that you betrayed
Referring to a betrayal comparable to the biblical story of Cain and Abel.
And in the next morning that I was led astray
Feeling led astray the morning after a significant event.
All the colors we would live for had turned to shades of grey
Experiencing a loss of vibrancy and joy in life.
I sit you down and say it once
Confronting the other person with honesty and determination.
With a cup of black and intentions bold
Sitting down for a serious conversation with a cup of black coffee and bold intentions.
I would fight for you each day
Expressing a commitment to fight for the relationship daily.
If that meant I would take his place
Willing to take the place of someone else, possibly another lover.
And on that coffee table, I gave you took away
Repeating the theme of giving and taking away on a coffee table.
The pain of Cain and Abel the love that you betrayed
Reiterating the pain of betrayal akin to the biblical story.
And in the next morning where I was led astray
Experiencing the aftermath of being led astray the next morning.
All the colors we would love for had turned to shades of grey
Noticing a loss of the vibrant colors that symbolized love.
And on that coffee table, I gave you took away
Continuing the theme of giving and taking away on the coffee table.
The pain of Cain and Abel the love that you betrayed
Repeating the pain of betrayal and the reference to Cain and Abel.
And in the next morning where I was led astray
Reiterating the experience of being led astray the next morning.
All this grace is getting tiring as we turn to shades of grey
Expressing weariness as grace fades away, and the relationship turns bleak.
