Unveiling Love's Bittersweet Symphony by Rahma Putri
Lyrics
So sweet the way you caress my ego
Expressing appreciation for the sweet way the partner boosts the speaker's self-esteem.
You held the door for me in every place we go
Acknowledging gestures of politeness and chivalry from the partner in various situations.
It gets bitter and I ain’t see it coming
Unexpectedly facing difficulties or challenges in the relationship, causing bitterness.
“I love you” is easy when you don’t mean it
Questioning the sincerity of "I love you," suggesting it's said without genuine feelings.
I don't know why I’m still with you after everything I’m going through (I’m going through)
Expressing confusion about remaining in the relationship despite ongoing hardships.
Even the things I love about you, it seemed so untrue
Doubting the authenticity of positive aspects of the partner, finding them untrue.
I lost myself in loving
Feeling a loss of identity or self in the process of loving the partner.
You, always love me the way you want to
Highlighting that the partner loves in their own way, possibly not fulfilling the speaker's needs.
You, never love me the way i need you to
Expressing the partner's failure to love in a way that meets the speaker's emotional requirements.
In every fight you made me say sorry for what I believe (mhmm, mhmm..)
Recalling instances where the partner caused the speaker to apologize for their beliefs during conflicts.
Just listen to me once baby
Pleading for the partner to listen to the speaker's perspective at least once.
You know what happen to the butterflies
Reflecting on the fading excitement or passion in the relationship ("butterflies").
You decided not to make a change
Noticing the partner's decision to avoid making positive changes in the relationship.
So we’re stuck in this same wrong path
Stuck in a repetitive and negative pattern, following the wrong path in the relationship.
I don't know why I’m still with you after everything I’m going through (I’m going through)
Reiterating confusion about persisting in the relationship despite ongoing challenges.
Even the things I love about you, it seemed so untrue
Questioning the authenticity of positive aspects of the partner, finding them untrue (repeated).
I lost myself in loving
Experiencing a sense of self-loss in the process of loving the partner (repeated).
You, always love me the way you want to
Highlighting the partner's consistent love, but it may not align with the speaker's needs.
You, never love me the way I need you to
Emphasizing the partner's failure to love in a way that meets the speaker's emotional requirements (repeated).
I choose to write this song hope you can understand everything I’ve never tell
Choosing to express unspoken feelings and experiences through the song, hoping for understanding.
Just listen to me once baby
Repeating the plea for the partner to listen to the speaker's perspective.
Just listen to me once..
Reiterating the request for the partner to listen, emphasizing its importance.
