Lyrics
I know I'm slow, and I don't think
I acknowledge my slow pace, and I don't often contemplate
And I don't show how I feel
I struggle to express my emotions outwardly
Yeah, I get it, yeah, I get it
Acceptance of the situation, understanding it
I know I'm all tied up and
I feel emotionally entangled and uncertain of my actions
Never sure how to act
I am unsure about how to behave in certain situations
Yeah, I get it, oh, I get it
Reiteration of understanding and acceptance
Maybe you can do better than this
Encouraging the other person to strive for improvement
Maybe you can do better than that
Suggesting that there are various ways to improve
Maybe you can do better than me
Recognizing the potential for the other person to surpass me
If that's what you want, yeah
If that's what you desire, I won't hinder your progress
I won't hold you back
I won't be an obstacle to your advancement
Why, why, why do we act
Questioning the repetitive nature of certain behaviors
Like every time we won't fall back
Expressing confusion about the reluctance to move forward
I just don't get it, I don't get it
Reiteration of not understanding certain actions
Why, why, why, tell me why
Questioning the purpose and motivation behind actions
What's the point? Why do we try?
Reflecting on the futility of efforts and attempts
I don't get it, I just don't get it
Expressing a lack of comprehension
Maybe I can do better than this
Considering personal potential for improvement
Maybe I can do better than that
Suggesting the possibility of surpassing current limitations
Maybe I can do better than you
Contemplating personal growth beyond external influences
Maybe this time you won't hold me back
Hoping to avoid being a hindrance this time
Swear I'll turn this car around right now
Expressing a willingness to change direction immediately
I see you thinking I won't
Asserting confidence in the ability to make a decisive move
I ain't wallpaper that you can tear down
Refusing to be easily dismissed or disrespected
I ain't somebody's joke
Rejecting the role of a mere object of amusement
Someone you can choke or with a coaster
Asserting independence and not being someone easily controlled
Shove to the side push in the corner
Describing resistance and refusal to be pushed aside
You twisting the knife now, now
Reacting to emotional pain caused by someone
Maybe we can do better than this
Suggesting the potential for improvement in the relationship
(babe, let's talk it over)
Encouraging open communication to address issues
Maybe we can do better than that
Expressing a desire not to lose the relationship
('cause I don't wanna lose you)
Exploring the possibility of a better future together
Maybe we can do better than us
Considering improvements in the relationship
(baby, let's talk it over)
Advocating for communication to salvage the relationship
Maybe this time there's no turning back
Contemplating the irreversible nature of certain decisions
('cause I don't wanna lose you)
Expressing a reluctance to lose the relationship
