Love's Tightrope: Navigating Mistakes and Second Chances
Lyrics
Don't know why I'm scared, you're too easy to love
Expressing uncertainty and fear about the ease of falling in love.
And I'm worried that if I do it my way then I'll mess it up
Concerns about personal approach to love, fearing potential mistakes.
Got a bad track record, want a clean slate
Acknowledging a history of mistakes and desiring a fresh start.
All I have is hope, kept your toothbrush by the sink
Having hope despite a challenging romantic history, keeping a symbolic item.
Cus I know you're coming back here anyway
Anticipating the partner's return and preparing for it.
Waiting is the worst part
Expressing impatience and discomfort with waiting.
I told you it's fine
Reassuring the partner that everything is fine.
Live a little bit on the edge again
Encouraging a more adventurous and spontaneous lifestyle.
I told you it's fine
Reiterating that everything is fine despite internal struggles.
Couldn't even face it cus I'm a mess
Admitting personal turmoil and inability to face certain situations.
I think that I lied
Confessing to deception about intentions.
Said I wouldn't do it but then I did
Breaking a promise and engaging in undesired behavior.
So one more time
Requesting guidance or a reminder of how to avoid repeating mistakes.
Show me how to do it cus I forget
Seeking assistance in learning from past errors.
I do it again and again and again and again
Repetition emphasizing a pattern of repeating mistakes.
I do it again and again and again and again
-You told me I reveal all my secrets
Acknowledging vulnerability and openness in the relationship.
Strangers see how I'm unreliable as I could be
Recognizing one's unreliability and acknowledging external perceptions.
I'll address it
Committing to addressing the issues but understanding it doesn't excuse the behavior.
It doesn't make it okay
Recognizing the wrongness of a situation.
So pathetic
Expressing self-disapproval for handling a situation poorly.
I did it in the worst way
Admitting a mistake made in the worst way possible.
Five missed calls nowhere to be seen
Describing a situation of missed calls and a delayed response.
By the time I hit you back you were fast asleep
Realizing the impact of delayed communication on the partner.
I'm starting to see what you mean
Gaining understanding of the partner's perspective.
I told you it's fine
Repeating the reassurance of being fine and encouraging a more daring lifestyle.
Live a little bit on the edge again
-I told you it's fine
Expressing difficulty facing challenges due to personal struggles.
Couldn't even face it cus I'm a mess
-I think that I lied
Acknowledging the lie about handling a situation.
Said I wouldn't do it but then I did
Breaking a promise again and engaging in undesired behavior.
So one more time
Seeking guidance and assistance in avoiding repeated mistakes.
Show me how to do it cus I forget
-Sat by myself on a Tuesday night
Describing a lonely and detached evening, ignoring communication.
Ignoring all your texts, ain't this the life
-Said I'm a pushover killjoy waiting to wreck the fun
Accepting a negative perception of oneself as a buzzkill.
Overrated fucking up your friends for the art
Challenging societal norms by disrupting friendships for artistic expression.
Bitterness gets sweeter with some time apart
Highlighting the intensification of bitterness over time apart.
I can chew my tongue til then
Enduring pain and holding back words until later.
I told you it's fine
Repeating the reassurance of being fine and encouraging a more daring lifestyle.
Live a little bit on the edge again
-I told you it's fine
Expressing difficulty facing challenges due to personal struggles.
Couldn't even face it cus I'm a mess
-I think that I lied
Acknowledging the lie about handling a situation.
Said I wouldn't do it but then I did
Breaking a promise again and engaging in undesired behavior.
So one more time
Seeking guidance and assistance in avoiding repeated mistakes.
Show me how to do it cus I forget
-Start to think it wasn't worth the trouble babe
Contemplating whether the troubles in the relationship were worth it.
Start to think it wasn't worth the trouble babe
-Start to think it wasn't worth the trouble babe
-Start to think it wasn't worth the trouble babe
Repeating the contemplation on the value of the relationship's challenges.
