Out Worn
Love's Inferno: Soccer Mommy's Out Worn Revelations
Lyrics
So sweet when you wanna be
Expressing the positive side of the person when they choose to be sweet.
But you don't really care about me
Feeling neglected or not cared for by the person despite their occasional sweetness.
If you did you would let me breathe
Desiring space and independence in the relationship, feeling suffocated.
But you don't even try
Not putting effort into making the relationship better or addressing concerns.
Not the girl that you thought I'd be
Not conforming to the expected or assumed behavior, challenging stereotypes.
My make up stains on your white tees
Physical evidence (makeup stains) of the struggles in the relationship.
Bite my nails 'til my fingers bleed
Engaging in self-destructive behaviors, possibly due to emotional distress.
And I can't always hide
Difficulty in concealing emotions or the challenges faced.
And I feel stupid now
Regretting the decision to keep the person in her life.
Keeping you around
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the relationship.
And you don't know me now
Implying that the person doesn't truly understand or know her anymore.
I think you don't know how
Suggesting a lack of awareness or understanding on the part of the person.
You made your love like a forest fire
Describing the intensity and destructive nature of the love shared, akin to a forest fire.
I wanted someone to keep me warm
Initial expectations of finding warmth and comfort in the relationship.
You were the difference after a while
Over time, the person became the source of difficulty or turmoil.
I'm sick of living in the eye of the storm
Tired of living in a constant state of emotional turmoil or conflict.
I want the feeling of being admired
Craving genuine admiration and positive feelings in the relationship.
You only taught me to be out worn
Realizing that the person taught her to endure being worn out or exhausted.
This ain't the love that I had desired
Expressing dissatisfaction with the type of love received, not meeting expectations.
I'm sick of living in your eyes
Fed up with living through the perspective or expectations of the other person.
So sweet when you wanna be
Repeating the earlier sentiment of the person being sweet when they choose to be.
I almost thought you cared 'bout me
Momentarily believing that the person cared, but it was short-lived.
But you got off when you watched me sink
Feeling a sense of pleasure from witnessing her struggles and suffering.
Drowning in a lie
Being submerged in falsehoods or deceit within the relationship.
And you remind me of my dad
Drawing a negative parallel between the person and the narrator's father.
He'd throw me straws that break my back
Recalling instances of receiving help that ultimately caused harm.
You know just how to make me mad
Acknowledging the ability of the person to provoke anger intentionally.
It's almost like you try
Suspecting that the person deliberately causes emotional distress.
And I'm just sick and tired
Expressing weariness and frustration with feeling unwanted or unloved.
Of feeling undesired
Tired of constantly feeling unattractive or lacking value in the relationship.
'Cause you don't love me now
Asserting that the person doesn't currently love or understand her.
I think you don't know how
Reiterating the perception that the person lacks awareness of her emotions.
You made your love like a forest fire
Repeating the metaphor of love as a destructive force, emphasizing the desire for warmth.
I wanted someone to keep me warm
Originally seeking comfort and solace but finding only turmoil.
You were the difference after a while
Highlighting the negative impact the person has had over time.
I'm sick of living in the eye of the storm
Expressing a desire to move away from the constant emotional turbulence.
I want the feeling of being admired
Longing for genuine admiration and positive emotions in the relationship.
You only taught me to be out worn
Acknowledging that the person taught her to endure being worn out.
This ain't the love that I had desired
Repeating dissatisfaction with the type of love received, not aligning with desires.
I'm sick of living in your eyes
Continuing the feeling of being trapped in the perspective or expectations of the other person.
