Better Soon
Yearning for Redemption: Exploring the Emotional Journey in Reanne Bangsil's 'Better Soon'
Lyrics
Don’t know why I feel so hurt
Expressing confusion and emotional pain.
I did it to you
Acknowledging responsibility for causing hurt to the other person.
I know I shouldn’t be the first
Recognizing the need for the other person to initiate communication.
To say I miss you
Admitting to missing the other person.
Only seem to make things worse
Feeling that attempts to communicate are making the situation worse.
Talking to you
Expressing a desire to talk to the person despite difficulties.
But that is the only thing
Highlighting a singular focus on wanting to talk to the person.
I wanna do
Stating a strong desire to engage in conversation.
‘Don’t do it' they say
Reflecting on external advice advising against certain actions.
This feeling will go away
Expressing hope that the feeling of hurt will diminish.
Take my pain
Asking the other person to alleviate the pain.
Cuz your still on my mind
Indicating continued thoughts about the person.
Cloud my head with more lies
Referencing conflicting thoughts and potential self-deception.
So I don’t miss you
Expressing a desire to avoid missing the person.
Can we be better
Pleading for improvement in the relationship.
Soon
Reiterating the hope for a better future.
We’re happy, we’re good, we’re fine
Describing the current positive state of the relationship.
But I gotta go
Announcing the need to leave the current situation.
Don't wanna waste ur time
Expressing concern about not wasting the other person's time.
Getting too close
Acknowledging a fear of getting too emotionally close.
Not again, this keeps on happening
Expressing frustration about a recurring issue.
Why cant we be just friends
Pleading for a platonic relationship.
‘Don’t do it' they say
Recalling external advice against certain actions.
This feeling will go away
Expressing hope that the painful feeling will fade.
Take my pain
Asking the other person to share the burden of pain.
Cuz your still on my mind
Indicating persistent thoughts about the person.
Cloud my head with more lies
Describing a clouded mental state due to deceptive thoughts.
So I don’t miss you
Expressing a desire to avoid missing the person.
Can we be better (better)
Reiterating the plea for a better relationship.
Time to cue the cries
Announcing the onset of emotional distress.
Can't take no more lies
Rejecting further acceptance of falsehoods.
Shouldn't sacrifice
Rejecting the sacrifice of personal time for the relationship.
All of my time
Stressing the importance of personal time.
Time to cue the cries
Repeating the need to address emotional distress.
Can't take no more lies
Reiterating the rejection of falsehoods.
Shouldn't sacrifice
Emphasizing the importance of personal time.
All of my time
Stressing the need for self-care.
‘Don’t do it' they say
Recalling external advice against certain actions.
This feeling will go away
Expressing hope that the painful feeling will fade.
Take my pain
Asking the other person to share the burden of pain.
Cuz your still on my mind
Indicating persistent thoughts about the person.
Cloud my head with more lies
Describing a clouded mental state due to deceptive thoughts.
So I don’t miss you
Expressing a desire to avoid missing the person.
What am I supposed to do
Expressing confusion about what to do.
Can we better soon
Reiterating the plea for a better relationship in the near future.
Can we be better soon
Expressing a desire for improvement and healing soon.
