Reside
Lost in Love's Dilemma: Ruby Shore's Reside
Lyrics
You reside in the back of my mind when I sleep
You are constantly present in my subconscious when I sleep.
And run thoughts that killed off a part of me
Your influence has led to the demise of a part of my identity.
Now I'm stuck, just caught in the in-between
I find myself stuck in an ambiguous situation, unable to move forward or backward.
With questions of
Pondering about
"What kind of love?"
Questioning the nature of love associated with you.
"What kind of cost?"
Reflecting on the emotional toll and consequences involved.
When you're always winning
Despite your consistent success, I am perennially lost.
And I'm always lost
Expressing the asymmetry in the relationship dynamics.
You got me in a free fall
You have put me in a state of free fall, desperately seeking a reason to prioritize you.
Looking for an excuse just to get you on top
Attempting to justify placing you at the forefront of my thoughts.
Nevermind how we fell off
Disregarding the details of our separation.
'Cause you don't know the half of it
Implying that there is much more to the story than is known.
You reside in the back of my mind when I think
You continue to linger in my thoughts when I contemplate.
And run thoughts I begged you to let me keep
Recalling thoughts I pleaded with you to let me retain.
Now I'm stuck, just caught without my eyes to see
Feeling trapped without the ability to perceive clearly.

Disregarding the details of our separation (repeated).
'Cause you don't know the half of it
Implying that there is much more to the story than is known (repeated).
And tell me why
Pose a question about
I'm scared to sleep at night
Expressing fear associated with the act of sleeping.
It's breaking me up inside
The anxiety is causing internal distress.

'Cause you don't know the half of it
Reiterating the lack of understanding (repeated).
'Cause you don't know the half of it
-You don't know me
Declaring that the other person doesn't truly know the speaker.
('Cause you don't know the half of it)
(Repeating the lack of understanding).
You don't know
Reinforcing the notion that the other person lacks knowledge about the speaker.
