If I
Unveiling the Heart's Dilemma: If I by Scarlet Drive
Lyrics
She told me not to come around, no more
She requested that I cease visiting her.
She didn’t want to see me round, no more
She expressed a desire not to encounter me anymore.
Floating down a stream of words, gotta pick them right
Expressing the need to carefully select one's words while communicating.
Sitting in the eye of the storm, after the fight
Metaphorically situated in a calm place after a conflict or argument.
But if I, if I had the chance to stay, would it be
Contemplating the hypothetical opportunity to remain.
And if I, if I had the chance to stay, could it be
Reflecting on the potential chance to stay.
But if I, if I had have chose to stay, I wouldn’t be here
If a different decision were made, the current situation might not exist.
I locked myself inside my mind, threw away the key
Choosing to isolate oneself mentally and detach.
Because I didn’t want the parts of you, inside of me
Avoiding emotional attachment to aspects reminiscent of the person.
But sometimes, this floating road, it’s not as straight as it seems
Life's path is unpredictable and doesn't always follow a clear trajectory.
And sometimes, I wish I had a parachute, and I would fall
Expressing a desire for an escape route when faced with difficulties.
But if I, if I had the chance to stay, would it be
Considering the outcome if the choice to stay had been taken.
And if I, if I had the chance to stay, could it be
Reflecting on the potential outcome if the chance to stay had been taken.
But if I, if I had have chose to stay, I wouldn’t be here
Speculating that a different choice would have altered the current circumstance.
As I walk upon this stage
Metaphorically entering a new phase or situation.
Destroy everything that’s changed
Destroying or eliminating everything that has been transformed or altered.
Till there’s nothing left of you
Continuing the process of erasure until there's no remaining trace of the person.
As I walk upon this stage
Reiterating the act of entering a new phase or situation.
Destroy everything that’s changed
Continuing the process of eliminating changes until there's nothing of the person left.
Till there’s nothing left of you
Emotionally removing all remnants of the person or their impact.
I cut my heart out on this stage
Symbolically sacrificing one's emotions or vulnerability in a public manner.
And bleed the words out on this page
Expressing emotions and feelings through creative means.
So there’s something left for you
Leaving something behind despite the emotional sacrifice for the person.
