Navigating Love's Turmoil: A Poetic Journey Through Pain and Longing
Lyrics
Let's find something that can last.
Expressing a desire to find something enduring.
Like cigarette ash,
Comparing the fleeting nature of life to cigarette ash.
The world is collapsing around me.
Feeling overwhelmed by the crumbling state of the world.
Let's try to do the best we can.
Advocating to try their best despite difficulties.
I think I need more than the flowers and letters, man.
Expressing a need for more than simple gestures like flowers and letters.
It's not that I don't try, it's that you won't again
Explaining efforts made, but blaming the other person for not reciprocating.
And it hurts too much to laugh about it
Expressing emotional pain from the situation.
(Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it)
Reiterating the depth of emotional hurt.
Hey, please think about it, friend.
Pleading for the friend to consider the situation.
I know you're lonely, I'm here writing in the dark
Recognizing the friend's loneliness while expressing personal struggles.
Tryin' to get the balls
Struggling to gather courage or resolve.
But it hurts too much to ask
Feeling too much pain to inquire or request.
Dear I Need Someone Who's Lost,
Addressing someone who understands the feeling of being lost.
Tell me how not to stop all these tears and fears
Seeking advice on managing overwhelming emotions.
So nothing else will drop,
Hoping that nothing else worsens the situation.
So all this pain will stop.
Desiring an end to the ongoing pain.
But if it hurts too much ask
Expressing reluctance or difficulty in asking for help due to intense pain.
If it hurts too much to ask
Reiterating the difficulty in seeking help due to the pain involved.
It's not that I don't cry,
Not crying outwardly, but concealing emotions.
It's that I have to hide,
Explaining the reason behind hiding emotions.
Yeah it's that I have to hide
Reiterating the need to hide emotions to avoid asking for help.
So I won't be there to ask.
Intentionally avoiding being present to ask for help due to emotional pain.
So I won't be there to ask.
Reiterating the intention to avoid seeking help due to pain.
No, I won't be the one to ask.
Confirming the decision not to be the one to seek help.
I won't be there to ask.
Reaffirming the intention not to ask for help.
It hurts too much to laugh about it.
Reiterating the intensity of emotional pain when trying to laugh about it.
Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it.
Reaffirming the depth of pain experienced when trying to laugh it off.
Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it, man.
Stressing the unbearable nature of the pain when attempting to laugh about it.
