Not Worth Saving
Lost Faith: Skyler Acord's Heartfelt Reflection on Redemption
Lyrics
Been so long since i've seen you laugh
Reflecting on the duration since witnessing the person laugh
But we talk almost every day
Despite infrequent meetings, consistent communication is maintained
In passing you've grown old so fast
Noticing rapid aging in the person during casual encounters
So many bad birthdays
Referencing unpleasant birthdays in the person's life
Was I wrong to hope you'd want me back
Questioning the decision to hope for a reconciliation
Cuz when i look you avert your gaze
Observing avoidance and indifference when making eye contact
Just to stare at your coffee, black
Noting the person's focus on a simple, unadorned cup of coffee
I know you'd rather me go away
Acknowledging the preference for the narrator to leave
Have you lost your faith in me
Questioning if the person has lost trust or confidence in the narrator
Was I not worth saving
Doubting the narrator's worthiness of redemption or salvation
I did all i can do
Expressing the narrator's efforts to the maximum extent
Have you lost your faith in me
Repeating the inquiry about the loss of faith in the narrator
Cuz you know there's only
Acknowledging the limited capacity of the narrator to influence
So much i can do
Highlighting the constrained ability of the narrator to act
Now what exactly would you need to see
Prompting the person to specify the requirements for belief
A miracle is a cynical ask of me
Describing a request for a miracle as skeptical or doubtful
If it's a sign you need to believe
Suggesting a need for a sign to rekindle belief or trust
You missed your turn already
Implying that the person has missed an opportunity for change
Have you lost your faith in me
Reiterating the query about the loss of faith in the narrator
Was I not worth saving
Reiterating the doubt about the narrator's worthiness of salvation
I did all i can do
Reiterating the narrator's exhaustive efforts for redemption
Have you lost your faith in me
Repeating the question about the loss of faith in the narrator
Cuz you know there's only
Emphasizing the limited influence and capabilities of the narrator
So much i can do
Stressing the constrained capacity of the narrator to take action
Have you lost your faith in me
Continuing to question the person's loss of faith in the narrator
Was I not worth saving
Repeating the uncertainty about the narrator's redemption
I did all i can do
Reiterating the narrator's exhaustive attempts at redemption
Have you lost your faith in me
Repeating the inquiry about the person's loss of faith
Cuz you know there's only
Reaffirming the limited influence and capabilities of the narrator
So much i can do
Emphasizing the restricted capacity of the narrator to act
Have you lost your faith in me
Persisting in questioning the loss of faith in the narrator
Was I not worth saving
Repeating the doubt about the narrator's worthiness of salvation
I did all i can do
Reiterating the narrator's exhaustive efforts for redemption
Have you lost your faith in me
Continuing to question the person's loss of faith in the narrator
Cuz you know there's only
Reaffirming the limited influence and capabilities of the narrator
So much i can do
Emphasizing the constrained capacity of the narrator to act
I did all I can do
Affirming that the narrator has exerted all possible efforts
