For The Both of Us
Love's Imbalance: Navigating Baggage and Heartache
Lyrics
I knew Syd and she knew you
I had a connection with Syd, and she was acquainted with you.
She set us up
Syd played a role in bringing us together.
I had just gone through some shit
I had recently experienced some challenging situations.
But you wanted us
Despite my difficulties, you desired a relationship with us.
So I tried my best to love you
I made an effort to love you to the best of my ability.
Without messing up
I tried not to complicate things or make mistakes.
But you can't love enough for the both of us
It became evident that one person's love alone couldn't sustain the relationship.
I was good at bringing in my dirty shoes
I was adept at dealing with my own issues.
You were coming in brand new
You entered the relationship with a fresh perspective.
I had baggage I couldn't hide though I tried
My emotional baggage was apparent, despite my attempts to conceal it.
It just piled up in front of you
My problems accumulated and became evident to you.
So in the end we couldn't work no matter what
In the end, the relationship couldn't function despite efforts.
Cause you can't love enough for the both of us
Because one person's love wasn't sufficient for both of us.
We would always fight
We frequently argued over trivial matters.
Over stupid things
Arguments occurred over seemingly insignificant issues.
Like when I'd see you talk to other guys
Jealousy arose when I saw you conversing with other men.
I thought I was grown up
I believed I was mature at seventeen.
Oh at seventeen
Learning the complexities of love and driving at a young age.
Just learning how to love and how to drive
I was good at bringing in my dirty shoes
I continued to bring my issues into the relationship.
You were coming in brand new
You approached the relationship with a clean slate.
I had baggage I couldn't hide though I tried
My emotional baggage was still present despite my efforts to conceal it.
It just piled up in front of you
My problems became apparent and overwhelming for you.
So in the end we couldn't work no matter what
Ultimately, the relationship couldn't thrive despite attempts.
Cause you can't love enough for the both of us
Because one person's love wasn't enough for both of us.
I think I always knew we would end like this
I had a premonition that our relationship would conclude this way.
Cause I gave less than you from the start
From the beginning, I contributed less to the relationship than you did.
I was good at bringing in my dirty shoes
I persisted in bringing my issues into the relationship.
You were coming in brand new
You entered the relationship with a fresh perspective.
I had baggage I couldn't hide though I tried
My emotional baggage was still present despite my efforts to conceal it.
It just piled up in front of you
My problems became apparent and overwhelming for you.
So in the end we couldn't work no matter what
Ultimately, the relationship couldn't thrive despite attempts.
Cause you can't love enough for the both of us
Because one person's love wasn't enough for both of us.
I knew Syd and she knew you
I had a connection with Syd, and she was acquainted with you.
She set us up
Syd played a role in bringing us together.
But you can't love enough for the both of us
It reiterates that one person's love alone can't sustain the relationship.
