With Him
Emotional Turmoil: Navigating Love's Complexities
Lyrics
I'm only waiting cause I want to
I am patiently waiting because I choose to.
It's only raining if your shoes are wet
Rain is only significant if it affects you directly, like wetting your shoes.
It's only painful if it gets to you
Pain is subjective and only matters if it impacts you emotionally.
It's never practical to be upset
Being upset is not a practical or productive response to situations.
But I am, and that's okay
Expressing that being upset is acceptable in this context.
Cause you're with another man today
Accepting the reality that the person is with someone else today.
I can't be laissez-faire with you right there with him
Expressing difficulty in being indifferent while the person is with someone else.
I never wanted you to see me weak
Never wanted to show vulnerability to the person.
I wouldn't have the nerve to speak my mind
Admitting hesitancy to speak one's mind due to fear or insecurity.
You wouldn't notice if my face turned red
Highlighting the person's lack of awareness, even if the speaker shows physical signs of distress.
You wouldn't notice I was dead
Suggesting the person wouldn't notice or care even if the speaker were no longer alive.
But I am, and that's okay
Reiterating acceptance of the current emotional state due to the person being with someone else.
Cause you're with another man today
Repeating the acceptance of the person being with another man today.
You'll never know I'm gone as you go on with him
Expressing the belief that the person won't realize the speaker's absence while with someone else.
Go on, make a little dream house for your life
Encouraging the person to build a future without the speaker.
Remember all the times we planned for all our little secrets
Recalling past shared secrets and plans, now left to the person's memory.
Now I guess they're yours to keep if you remember them at all
Suggesting that the person may not remember or cherish those shared memories.
You're only crying cause you have to
Asserting that the person is crying out of obligation rather than genuine emotion.
You're only crying so they think you really care
Implying that the person's tears are a facade to appear caring to others.
It's never painful, never gets to you
Stating that the emotional impact is minimal and doesn't affect the person deeply.
It's just another spirit in the air
Describing emotional pain as an intangible presence in the environment.
But I'm not, I'm not okay
Contradicting the earlier acceptance, expressing personal distress.
The hell I've forged is burning and the ground is scalding hotter by the day on Satan's throne
Describing a self-made hell intensifying, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
As you go home with him
As the person goes home with someone else, emphasizing the speaker's emotional struggle.
