My All
Reclaiming My All: Liberation from Love's Illusion
Lyrics
Empty frames and cardboard boxes
Feeling a sense of emptiness represented by empty frames and cardboard boxes in the new apartment.
Line the hall in my new apartment
The hallway of the new apartment is filled with symbolic items like empty frames and boxes.
The loneliness is setting in
The singer is experiencing loneliness, indicating a difficult emotional state.
But I'd rather be lonely than lonely with him
Expressing a preference for being alone rather than being with a person who causes loneliness.
Where I was invisible most of the time
Reflecting on a past where the singer felt invisible most of the time.
I'd threaten to leave and then he'd make it right
Describing a pattern of threatening to leave, but the partner always making things right.
Well I'm finally gone, all alone tonight
The singer has finally left and is alone tonight.
Pouring something strong to get him off of my mind
Using alcohol to cope with thoughts of the former partner.
I don't know if drinking will fix
Uncertainty about whether drinking can solve the problems left by the ex-partner.
All of the problems he left me with
Acknowledging the problems left by the ex-partner.
I don't care, I'm over it
Indicating a sense of detachment and being over the relationship.
Thinking of what it could've been
Reflecting on what the relationship could have been.
My all, all, all
Repeating the phrase "My all" as a significant emotional investment in the relationship.
Diamond rings and picket fences
Noting that material symbols like diamond rings and picket fences don't guarantee commitment.
Don't always add up to commitment
Emphasizing authenticity and sincerity in the past relationship.
I was real, I meant it
Asserting genuineness in actions and feelings.
I spoke up when I felt something was different
Expressing the habit of speaking up when something felt different in the relationship.
And he said I was overthinking
Recalling being dismissed as overthinking by the ex-partner.
Damn it's like a man to make a woman feel crazy
Commenting on the tendency of some men to make women feel crazy.
But I was born with intuition
Acknowledging a strong innate intuition.
And one thing I know, is thank God I listened
Expressing gratitude for listening to intuition and avoiding potential pitfalls.
I don't know if drinking will fix
Questioning whether alcohol can solve the problems left by the ex-partner.
All of the problems he left me with
Reiterating the existence of problems left by the ex-partner.
I don't care, I'm over it
Affirming a state of being over the relationship.
Thinking of what it could've been
Reflecting on what the relationship could have been, repeating "My all."
My all, all, all
Repeating the phrase "My all" to emphasize the emotional investment given.
I gave him my all, all, all
Repeating the declaration of giving everything in the relationship.
And I'm taking it back
Asserting the reclaiming of the emotional investment and commitment.
I'm taking it back
Repeating the declaration of reclaiming what was given in the relationship.
I'm sure down the line, I'll be the bigger person
Anticipating future maturity and growth, suggesting being the bigger person eventually.
Say we grew apart, say it just wasn't working
Speculating on future explanations for the breakup, possibly growing apart.
But tonight I'm filled with resentment
Expressing current resentment, particularly due to a lack of respect for love.
Cause no one deserves my love if they cannot respect it
Affirming the principle that love should be respected, expressing current resentment.
I don't know if drinking will fix
