Still Waters
Regretful Reflections: Navigating Love's Impact
Lyrics
Don't promise me the moon
Cautioning against making grand promises or setting unrealistic expectations.
Don't promise me the stars
Emphasizing the avoidance of overcommitment or exaggerated assurances.
Don't promise me the heavens and the earth
Discouraging promises of vast and unattainable things, questioning personal value.
And the things you think I'm worth
Expressing doubt about being deserving of significant promises.
It won't go that far
Suggesting limitations on the extent to which promises can fulfill expectations.
Don't tell me that you're happy
Rejecting declarations of happiness, questioning sincerity.
That I'm the best you've ever known
Challenging claims of being the best, drawing from past experiences.
Honey I've known boys like you before
Comparing the person to past experiences with similar individuals.
You get sick of what you own
Highlighting the tendency to lose interest in possessions or relationships.
Don't kiss me on the street
Advising against public displays of affection.
Don't kiss me in my bed
Advising against intimacy in private spaces.
With your scent upon my hands
Referencing the lingering presence of the person in physical spaces.
And your dreams up in my head
Reflecting on the impact of the person's dreams and influence.
I will waste away on wishing
Expressing regret over investing time in unfulfilled wishes.
That I never let you in
Regret over the decision to allow the person into one's life.
All the secrets that I told you
Acknowledging the sharing of personal secrets without significant change.
Didn't change a single thing
Realization that disclosures did not alter the course of events.
Why did you lure me in to only
Pondering the reasons for being lured into a relationship.
Go and leave me lonely
Expressing loneliness and disappointment after the person's departure.
I was fine before I met you
Asserting self-sufficiency before the relationship.
I'll be fine again someday
Believing in the eventual recovery and return to a content state.
But right now I just regret you
Current regret over the impact of the person on one's life.
Went and stole my heart away
Expressing the feeling of having one's heart taken away by the person.
You should have never even bothered
Suggesting that the person should have avoided involvement.
But you just couldn't help but go and touch still waters
Metaphorically describing the person's impact as disruptive to calm waters.
And it's been long enough that I should have recovered
Acknowledging the time passed but expressing lingering effects.
And yes, I'm slowly getting stronger every day
Highlighting gradual emotional recovery and strength-building.
But the thing that I've regrettably discovered
Discovery of challenges and setbacks during the process of healing.
On that uphill climb there are valleys on the way
Acknowledging difficulties in the journey of emotional recovery.
I was fine before I met you
Reiterating self-sufficiency before the relationship.
I'll be fine again someday
Believing in eventual emotional healing and return to well-being.
But right now I just regret you
Current regret over the impact of the person on one's life.
Went and stole my heart away
Expressing the feeling of having one's heart taken away by the person.
You should have never even bothered
Suggesting that the person should have avoided involvement.
But you just couldn't help but go and touch still waters
Metaphorically describing the person's impact as disruptive to calm waters.
You should have never even bothered
Suggesting that the person should have avoided involvement.
But you just couldn't help but go and touch still waters
Metaphorically describing the person's impact as disruptive to calm waters.
