Shelter
Finding Solace in Love's Turmoil
Lyrics
How did all this happen? Maybe you're confused too
Expressing confusion about the unfolding situation and acknowledging mutual confusion.
I didn't mean to make you mad but I was scared to lose you
Apologizing for unintended actions caused by fear of losing the other person.
How do we come back from things we wished we hadn't said?
Reflecting on the difficulty of recovering from regrettable words spoken.
You were the only one still trying, I was always on the defensive
Recognizing the other person's persistent effort while admitting personal defensiveness.
When I hung up on the phone with you that night
Recalling a moment of fear about the relationship's survival after a phone call.
I was scared we wouldn't make it
Expressing concern about the potential failure of the relationship.
And I know three wrongs don't make a right
Acknowledging that committing wrongs does not rectify the situation.
I've got nowhere left to turn, I've got so much left to learn
Feeling lost with no clear direction, emphasizing the need for learning.
One thing I know
Asserting a certain knowledge amidst uncertainty.
I need shelter, I feel like I'm all alone
Expressing a need for emotional refuge and a sense of isolation.
And I need you with me by my side
Desiring the other person's presence for support.
When everything's wrong you're the only right
Affirming the importance of the other person during challenging times.
You're always fighting for this
Recognizing the partner's continuous effort and dedication.
Sometimes I hardly even notice
Acknowledging a lack of awareness or appreciation for the partner's efforts at times.
When did all my passion fade with memories gone by?
Questioning when personal passion diminished, possibly in the context of past memories.
The backside of your pillow is stained with all the tears you cried
Noticing the emotional impact on the partner, symbolized by tears on the pillow.
When did we lose sight of careful words and tenderness
Reflecting on the loss of careful communication and tenderness in the relationship.
You've given up on trying, cause I was always on the defensive
Acknowledging the partner's resignation due to personal defensiveness.
When I hung up on the phone with you that night
