Why Bother
Navigating Love's Maze: Unveiling the Depths of 'Why Bother'
Lyrics
After all the time I’ve wasted
Expressing regret over time wasted.
Trying to get by
Attempting to manage life's challenges.
I’ve found the things that I need
Realization that necessary things were always present.
Have been here the whole time
Recognition of missed opportunities due to oversight.
This is all or nothing
It's either everything or nothing, no in-between.
I can’t be just a friend
Desire for a deeper connection, not just friendship.
Like pineapple on pizza
Metaphor highlighting incompatible elements.
Some things just don’t blend
Some things don't mix well, similar to incompatible people.
With all the time you’ve wasted
Addressing someone else's wasted time.
Misplacing your problems
Blaming someone for misplacing and not addressing their issues.
You’re the cause of all of them
Attributing all problems to someone's actions.
So why can’t you solve them
Questioning why the person doesn't solve their own problems.
And even when you could’ve spoke
Not speaking up when it was necessary.
You remained silent
Choosing silence despite needing to communicate.
You’ve defined the fine line
Highlighting a thin boundary between love and violence.
Between love and violence
Questioning the point of continued effort.
Why do I even bother
Questioning the motivation for bothering at all.
Where would I even start
Uncertainty about where to initiate change.
How can I explain this to you
Difficulty in explaining a situation to someone.
Who do you think you are
Challenging someone's perception of themselves.
Where is this even going
Questioning the direction of a situation.
When will it fall apart
Anticipating a breakdown or failure.
Trusting you was my decision
Taking a risk to trust someone despite past pain.
I made with broken bones
Choosing to trust despite past experiences.
Sticks and stones caused this condition
Realizing that hurtful words caused current circumstances.
Oh my fuck I should have known
Regretting not recognizing warning signs.
From where we were to where we are
Reflecting on the journey from the past to the present.
I’ve learned to like the latter
Developing a preference for current circumstances.
Your words hold no weight
Disregarding the importance of someone's words in an argument.
When the fight doesn’t matter
When the outcome is inconsequential, words lose meaning.
These thoughts inside of my head
Intense thoughts causing inner turmoil.
Are starting to burn
Feeling the intensity of mental distress.
Of all the things I’ve had to change
Adapting and changing oneself, now expecting the same from the other.
Now it’s your turn
Asking the other person to make changes.
Why do I even bother
Reiterating the questioning of the purpose of effort.
Where would I even start
Repeating uncertainty about where to begin.
How can I explain this to you
Continued struggle to explain the situation.
Who do you think you are
Challenging the other person's perception of themselves again.
Where is this even going
Reiterating uncertainty about the situation's trajectory.
When will it fall apart
Expectation of an impending breakdown or failure.
Trusting you was my decision
Reaffirmation of trusting despite past pain.
I made with broken bones
Choosing to trust despite past experiences (repeated).
Sticks and stones caused this condition
Realizing that hurtful words caused current circumstances (repeated).
Oh my fuck I should have known
Regret over not recognizing warning signs (repeated).
