You
Unraveling Emotions: Shalisa Taylor's 'You' Reveals a Complex Tale
Lyrics
Something in the way you talk
There is a particular manner in how you communicate
Got me confused
It’s causing me to feel uncertain or puzzled
I never noticed this before
I haven’t previously observed or recognized this
It’s something new
It’s a recent development or aspect
Like you've been hanging out
It seems like you've been associating with negativity or troubling things
With bad news
Similar to the influence of bad events or people
That I never met
I haven’t encountered this aspect before
And never got introduced to
I haven’t been formally introduced to this unfamiliar side of you
Don’t you lie to me now
I’m asking you not to deceive or mislead me at this moment
Did something happen tonight
Is there something that occurred tonight?
I don’t know what to say
I am at a loss for words or don’t know how to respond
When you're acting out
When you’re behaving in a manner different from usual
If it wasn’t you
If it wasn’t your actions causing this, then who else could it be?
Who the hell have I been talking to?
If it wasn’t you, who have I been conversing with?
If it wasn’t you
If it wasn’t you, who made me angry as only you could?
Who made me as mad as only you can do?
Who else but you could provoke such strong emotions?
If it wasn’t you
If it wasn’t you, why do I solely recall positive things about you?
Why do I remember only good
Why do I hold only favorable memories concerning you?
About you and only you
Specifically related to you and no one else
Something in the way you smile
Your smile has a certain effect on me
It takes me back
It brings me back to a previous time or feeling
To something you and I
To a shared experience between us
We both shared
But now, those familiar signs have disappeared or changed
But familiar signs
Things that were once recognizable are now unclear
They have turned to black
And have transformed into something negative
And has grown into something else
This change has evolved into a different situation
Don’t you lie to me now
I’m urging you not to be dishonest with me at this moment
Did something happen tonight
Is there something that occurred tonight?
'Cause I don’t know that to say
Because I’m unsure about what to say or how to react
When you're acting out
When you’re behaving differently from your usual self
If it wasn’t you
If it wasn’t your actions causing this, then who else could it be?
Who the hell have I been talking to?
If it wasn’t you, who have I been conversing with?
If it wasn’t you
If it wasn’t you, who made me angry as only you could?
Who made me as mad as only you can do?
Who else but you could provoke such strong emotions?
If it wasn’t you
If it wasn’t you, why do I solely recall positive things about you?
Why do I remember only good
Why do I hold only favorable memories concerning you?
About you and only you
Specifically related to you and no one else
Something in the way
There’s something unique in the way you place your head on my lap
You lay your head on my lap
It makes me believe that I was correct in my assumptions
Makes me think that I was right
That you feel remorse or sorrow about something
That this is something that you regret
But you’re unable to communicate that feeling to me
But somehow you can't tell me that
Despite your regret, you’re finding it difficult to express it to me
