Unveiling Love's Secrets: Rachel Beverly's Emotional Confession
Lyrics
I don't wanna write
The singer is reluctant to express themselves in writing.
For fear of looking down
Fearful of introspection and discovering personal truths.
And finding out exactly it's me who's coming out
Concerned about revealing their true self in written form.
On that paper
Referencing writing on a physical sheet or document.
In that journal
Mentioning a specific journal received in October.
That he gave to me in October
Connecting the journal to a past event or person.
This fall feels different from the rest
Emphasizing a unique feeling about the current autumn.
It's time to get something off my chest
Expressing a need to share something significant.
Off my chest
Reiterating the desire to unburden oneself.
The words won't come out like they should
Struggling to articulate feelings accurately.
Write 'em on down not to be misunderstood
Suggesting the importance of written communication.
But that ink bleeds what my heart really wants
Implies emotional spillage despite attempts at control.
And these words haunt like a secret confidant
Expressing the lingering effect of unspoken words.
I can't get my mind off of you
The singer's mind is fixated on someone.
Every little thing that you always do
Noting the focus on the subject's actions.
And I can't help but think it's true
Questioning the validity of feelings.
When it's all of me and none of you
Feeling one-sided in the relationship.
I've never
Highlighting lack of prior similar experience.
I've never loved one like you
Expressing the depth of affection for the person.
And I know it's me I should change
Acknowledging a need for self-change in the relationship.
Cause the last couple years it's been the same
Reflecting on a stagnant period in the relationship.
I'm scared of what I want
Admitting fear of desires or emotional investment.
But isn't that what makes this so fun
Recognizing the thrill in pursuing what is feared.
For those of you who don't get involved
Addressing those who avoid emotional entanglements.
Oh what a shame we're so used to the fall
Commenting on the familiarity of relationship hardships.
That I still
Reiterating fixation despite efforts to move on.
Can't even get my mind off of you
Continued fixation on the person of interest.
Every little thing that you always do
Reiterating focus on the subject's actions.
And I can't help but think it's true
Questioning the authenticity of feelings.
When it's all of me and none of you
Feeling one-sidedness in emotions shared.
I've never
Reiterating lack of previous comparable love experiences.
I've never loved one like you
Reaffirming the depth of affection for the person.
And I see it now for what it is
Realizing the incompatibility of the relationship.
Maybe you and I weren't meant for this
Suggesting doubts about compatibility.
Don't wanna forget these memories so easily
Reluctance to forget moments shared.
Clearly the reason why
Indicating the clear reason behind emotional struggle.
I can't get my mind off of you
Continued fixation despite the desire to retain memories.
Every little thing that you always do
Reiteration of focus on the subject's actions.
And I can't help but think it's true
Questioning the authenticity of emotions shared.
When it's all of me and none of you
Feeling emotionally unreciprocated.
I've never
Reiterating the uniqueness of the love felt.
I've never loved one like you
Confirming the depth of affection for the person.
