Lyrics
Looking back
Reflecting on the past
Where did we go wrong
Expressing regret or confusion about a misstep
Days into months
Time passing from days to months
Into years for so long
Continuation of time passing, feeling prolonged
And when I try to fix us
Attempting to repair the relationship
What do you do
Questioning the partner's response to the effort
Tell me
Seeking communication and understanding
It's been too hard
Expressing the difficulty of the situation
We've dropped our defences
Both parties lowering defenses
And self slips away
Individual identity slipping away in the process
We were held up
Describing a moment of being stuck or delayed
Static, unsure what to do
Feeling static and uncertain about the next steps
Unsure what to say
Uncertainty in actions and words
And still you're
Reiterating the feeling of being held back
Held up
Continuation of feeling restrained or delayed
Shone on past
Referencing moving beyond a certain point
Fate decided no longer
Fate determining that progress is no longer possible
Held up
Reiteration of being held back
Started again
Starting over, but farther from strength
That much further from stronger
Emphasizing the difficulty in rebuilding
We were held up
Recalling a moment of being held back
Looking ahead
Considering the future
Change needed soon
Recognizing the need for change
Impossible with your passive
Challenges in making necessary changes due to partner's behavior
Aggressive repetitious tune
Describing a repetitive and aggressive pattern
You tell me
Seeking an explanation or response from the partner
It's been too hard
Reiterating the difficulty of the situation
We've shattered immunity
Mentioning a breakdown in immunity or resistance
What did you do to me
Questioning the impact on oneself
We were held up
Recalling a moment of being stuck or delayed
Stagnant, dazed by the view
Feeling stagnant and overwhelmed by the situation
Unable to push through
Inability to move forward
We are held up
Reiterating the state of being held back
Shone on past
Continuation of moving beyond a certain point
Fate decided no longer
Fate determining that progress is no longer possible
Held up
Reiteration of being held back
Started again
Starting over, but farther from strength
That much further from stronger
Emphasizing the difficulty in rebuilding
Held up
Repetition of being held back
Held up
Repetition, underscoring the feeling of being stuck
We were held up
Recalling a moment of being held back
