Let Me Know
Let Me Know: Yearning for Clarity in Love
Lyrics
The sun burns through my window
The sun shining through the window signifies the start of a new day.
This morning
Specifically, it's the morning when the events described are unfolding.
Reminds me to get out of bed
The morning prompts the speaker to get out of bed.
But you weren't by my side to keep me under the covers
However, someone significant (presumably a partner) is absent, affecting the speaker's mood.
So I lay by myself instead
Being alone, the speaker lies in bed, highlighting the absence of companionship.
Been putting all my effort into you lately
The speaker has been investing considerable effort in the relationship.
I don't seem to get the same back
The effort is not reciprocated, and there is a lack of mutual engagement.
Maybe we're on the same page but in different books
The possibility that both parties might be on different wavelengths is suggested.
Maybe its time for me to ask you that
The speaker contemplates asking if they are truly on the same page.
If you don't want me let me know
An explicit request for honesty; the speaker wants to know if the partner desires the relationship.
I'm tired of being left on hold
Frustration with being left in a state of uncertainty or limbo.
I know your feelings come and go
Acknowledgment that feelings may change, but clarity is sought.
But if you don't want me let me know
Reiteration of the plea for openness and communication.
Your kisses don't feel the same as they used to
An observation that physical intimacy has diminished in quality or meaning.
Your always the first one to pull back
The partner consistently withdraws, creating emotional distance.
Maybe it's just me overthinking things
The speaker reflects on the possibility of overthinking the relationship.
Maybe its time for me to ask you that
A repetition of the idea that it might be time to discuss the relationship's direction.
If you don't want me let me know
Restating the desire for clear communication and resolution.
I'm tired of being left on hold
Expressing weariness from the uncertainty of the relationship.
I know your feelings come and go
Recognizing that emotions can be inconsistent, but emphasizing the need for honesty.
But if you don't want me let me know
Repeating the plea for transparency and decisiveness.
I guess it's in my nature
The speaker acknowledges a pattern in their nature of giving in the relationship.
I'm a giver your a taker
Highlighting a perceived imbalance where one person gives more than the other takes.
But how much taking will I get
Raising the question of how much the speaker can endure the partner's taking without reciprocation.
You keep on taking till you've left
Noting that the partner continues taking until there's nothing left.
And even after that
Despite the imbalance, the speaker expresses a willingness to continue giving to win the partner back.
I'll keep on giving too try and get you back
The commitment to giving persists even after the partner has left.
But
A pause in the narrative.
If you don't want me let me know
Repeating the plea for openness and clarity.
I'm tired of being left on hold
Reiterating the frustration of being left uncertain or in suspense.
I know you wanna take things slow
Acknowledging the partner's desire for a slower pace, but emphasizing the need for communication.
But if you don't want me let me know
Reiterating the plea for transparency and decisiveness.
And she let me know
An acknowledgment that the partner did communicate their decision.
And she let me go
Confirmation that the partner chose to let go of the relationship.
