Sweetheart
Embracing Independence: Sweetheart's Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I don't wanna be your woman
I reject the role of being exclusively your woman
Crying on the floor at night
I don't want to experience emotional pain alone at night
I don't wanna keep on searching
I don't want to continue searching for a day when I'll feel okay
For the day I'll feel alright
I don't want to endure emotional distress
I don't wanna be, I don't be burning
I don't want to be consumed by intense emotions on both sides
Burning at both sides
I don't want to be emotionally drained from all angles
I don't wanna keep on running
I don't want to keep avoiding reality blindly
With a blindfold on my eyes
I don't want to navigate life with my eyes covered
Sweetheart, you gotta keep moving
A term of endearment, encouraging to keep progressing
Don't you frown, it's unbecoming and
Don't show sadness; it's not attractive
Keep your crown from falling
Don't let challenges affect your self-esteem
You better not let 'em down
Do not disappoint or fail those who rely on you
I don't wanna be a lover
I reject the role of waiting passively as a lover
Waiting up by the phone
I won't wait by the phone for someone
I don't wanna be your preacher, your mother, or your whore
Rejecting traditional roles of preacher, mother, or objectification
I don't wanna be, I don't be burning
I don't want to be consumed by intense emotions on both sides
Burning at both sides
I don't want to be emotionally drained from all angles
I don't wanna keep running
I don't want to keep running from challenges
With a switchblade in my side
I don't want to endure pain inflicted by others
Sweetheart, you gotta keep moving
A term of endearment, encouraging to keep progressing
Don't you frown, it's unbecoming and
Don't show sadness; it's not attractive
Keep your crown from falling
Don't let challenges affect your self-esteem
You better not let 'em down
Do not disappoint or fail those who rely on you
Better not let 'em down
Repetition emphasizing the importance of not letting others down
Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-I don't wanna be a monster
I don't want to be a destructive force in your life
Hiding under your bed
I don't want to be a hidden source of fear
I don't wanna be a pretty song
I don't want to be a superficially pleasing but forgettable memory
Ringing in your head
I don't want to be a repetitive thought in your mind
I don't wanna be, I don't be burning
I don't want to be consumed by intense emotions on both sides
Burning at both sides
I don't want to be emotionally drained from all angles
I don't wanna keep running
I don't want to keep running from challenges
Until my motor dies
I don't want to continue until I'm completely worn out
Sweetheart, you gotta keep moving
A term of endearment, encouraging to keep progressing
Don't you frown, it's unbecoming and
Don't show sadness; it's not attractive
Keep your crown from falling
Don't let challenges affect your self-esteem
You better not let em down
Repetition emphasizing the importance of not letting others down
Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
-Better not let 'em down
Final emphasis on the importance of not disappointing others
