Lyrics
I put my back against the wall
I feel vulnerable and exposed, facing a difficult situation.
This frozen track a judgment call.
This challenging situation is a critical decision point.
Am I a creep with no self-esteem
Am I perceived as strange or lacking confidence?
The truth cuts deep but it cuts clean
The truth is painful but honest.
Guess I gotta let it show
I need to express my true feelings.
To break the ice would take a miracle
Breaking the silence requires an extraordinary event.
A thousand lies that I´m trying so hard to ignore
Ignoring numerous falsehoods is a challenging task.
I've been here before
Repetition emphasizes the familiarity of the situation.
I've been here before
-I've been here before
-You reach for my hand I turn away
I resist emotional connection by avoiding physical contact.
You don´t understand what I´m trying to say
Difficulty in conveying my thoughts to you.
A cold embrace around my heart,
A distant and cold feeling surrounds my emotions.
Give me some space, I´m falling apart.
I need space because I'm emotionally falling apart.
And even though we've been through hell,
Despite challenges, we've faced them together.
To break the ice would take a miracle
Breaking the silence still seems impossible.
A thousand lies that I´m trying so hard to ignore
Struggling to ignore numerous lies.
I've been here before
Emphasizing the repetition of experiencing a familiar situation.
I've been here before
-I've been here before
-Slowly, slowly down this river
Symbolizing a slow and inevitable distancing in the relationship.
Slowly, slowly I´m drifting away
-But I've been here before
Reiterating the acknowledgment of past experiences.
I've been here before
-I've been here before
-I've been here before
-But to break the ice would take a miracle
Breaking the silence still seems impossible.
A thousand lies that I´m trying so hard to ignore
Struggling to ignore numerous lies.
Trying so hard to ignore
Intense effort to overlook falsehoods.
I've been here before Before
Confirmation of having encountered this situation before.
