When You're Angry
Embracing Resilience: Unveiling the Complex Emotions in 'When You're Angry'
Lyrics
If I was a betting man, I would bet on you
If I were a betting man, I would place my confidence in you.
And if I was a man of faith, I would pray to you
If I were a man of faith, I would direct my prayers towards you.
But I am a son of doubt and you can get lost
As a skeptical person, I am a child of doubt, and you can be dismissed or ignored.
See I was born a pessimist and I don't hold high hopes for you
Due to my pessimistic nature, I don't have high expectations or optimism for your success.
If I was a dying man, I would breathe for you
If I were facing death, I would continue to breathe for you.
If I was a man at all, I wouldn't lie to you
If I were a genuine man, I wouldn't deceive or lie to you.
But I am a son of one and I resent you
However, being a son of a deceptive person, I hold resentment towards you.
'Cos I became a realist and I see no future with you
Having embraced realism, I don't see a future or potential with you.
You just don't scare me, you know you just turn me on
You don't intimidate me; instead, you have a stimulating or attractive effect on me.
You just don't scare me, no you don't
You don't induce fear in me; it doesn't affect me that way.
You just don't scare me, you know you just turn me on
Despite not being intimidating, your presence or actions are still appealing to me.
You just don't scare me, no you don't
You don't elicit fear, and that's a fact.
