Proof
Seeking Love's Assurance: Olivia Jean's 'Proof' Chronicles Yearning for Affirmation
Lyrics
Hold my breath another day until you make up your mind,
Expressing the anticipation of a decision, holding breath until the person makes up their mind.
Won't allow a single beat to budge this heart of mine,
Determined not to let anything disrupt the emotional stability or commitment.
What a fool I must be to place my hopes so high,
Acknowledging a sense of foolishness for having high hopes in the situation.
What a fool you must see in my eager eyes,
Recognizing that the other person might perceive foolishness in the speaker's eager eyes.
I want a little proof that you love me,
Expressing a desire for evidence or confirmation of love.
I dare you to force the damn words out,
Challenging the other person to vocalize their feelings, asking for verbal assurance.
Cause it feels like you're standing above me,
Suspecting a lack of reciprocity, feeling emotionally inferior to the other person.
Cast away under a shadow of doubt,
Feeling neglected or overshadowed, surrounded by uncertainty.
The silence is the saddest sound that I have ever known,
Describing silence as a profoundly sad experience, possibly due to unspoken feelings.
All this pain for a promise that can't be carved in stone,
Highlighting the emotional pain endured for a promise that may not be reliable.
Confusion is weighing on my patience and my pride,
Expressing inner turmoil caused by confusion, affecting both patience and pride.
Yet I wait another day with you by my side,
Despite the challenges, choosing to wait another day with the person in question.
I want a little proof that you love me,
Reiterating the desire for tangible proof or confirmation of the other person's love.
I dare you to force the damn words out,
Challenging the person to speak out and provide the assurance sought by the speaker.
Cause it feels like you're standing above me,
Emphasizing the feeling of being emotionally inferior, as if the person is figuratively above.
Cast away under a shadow of doubt,
Feeling cast away and uncertain, residing under the shadow of doubt.
I want a little proof that you love me,
Repeating the desire for concrete evidence or confirmation of the other person's love.
I dare you to force the damn words out,
Reiterating the challenge for the person to verbally express their feelings.
Cause it feels like you're standing above me,
Restating the emotional perception of the person standing above, with doubts lingering.
Cast away under a shadow of doubt.
Expressing the ongoing feeling of being in the shadow of doubt, unsure of the other person's emotions.
