Lyrics
I love you
I express love for you.
I don't have to like you
I am not obligated to like you.
I can't control the way you feel
I cannot dictate or influence how you feel.
There's the family that you're born with and
There are two types of families: the one you are born into and the one you choose.
The family that you choose
Highlighting the significance of chosen relationships over biological ones.
You know that I'm not honest with you
Acknowledging a lack of honesty in the speaker's communication with the other person.
I know that you don't tell me the truth
Recognizing that the other person is not truthful in their communication.
The rhetoric is caustic
Describing the nature of the communication as harsh and corrosive.
I'm mentally exhausted
Feeling mentally drained and fatigued.
With no other way to see it through
Expressing a sense of being trapped with no alternative perspective.
Keep it surface
Suggesting a preference for keeping things on the surface, avoiding deeper issues.
Follow all your cues
Adhering to the cues and signals provided by the other person.
I mean to
Expressing an intention to do something.
I never get around to
Not finding the time or opportunity to follow through on the intention.
Telling you what's on my heart
Acknowledging a difficulty in expressing what is truly felt.
Time is not my friend here
Time is not on the speaker's side in addressing the issues.
Soon's becoming now
The urgency of the situation is increasing.
You know that I'm not honest with you
Acknowledging a lack of honesty in the speaker's communication with the other person (repetition).
I know that you don't tell me the truth
Recognizing that the other person is not truthful in their communication (repetition).
The rhetoric is caustic
Describing the nature of the communication as harsh and corrosive (repetition).
I'm mentally exhausted
Feeling mentally drained and fatigued (repetition).
With no other way to see it through
Expressing a sense of being trapped with no alternative perspective (repetition).
Keep it surface
Suggesting a preference for keeping things on the surface, avoiding deeper issues (repetition).
Follow all your cues
Adhering to the cues and signals provided by the other person (repetition).
