Love's Lingering Stain
Lyrics
You say we were built together
You claim that our connection was built together.
Scribbled on a piece of paper
Compared our relationship to something hastily written on paper.
And scattered apart
Suggested that we've drifted apart.
You say "Love we're drawn together"
You express that our love brings us together.
Pulled off the refrigerator
Referenced an image on the refrigerator as a metaphor for our bond.
And magnetized at heart
Described being strongly attracted to each other.
But I don't think so
I disagree with your perspective.
And I thought I told you so
Previously conveyed this disagreement.
But you pulled me close
You drew me close despite my reservations.
And went through me like a ghost
Describes feeling emotionally penetrated or affected.
And I hate the things
I detest the emotions or memories you've trapped within me.
That you trapped inside my throat
Expresses disdain for the emotional burden caused by the other person.
How you made me feel
Describes feeling manipulated or influenced by words.
With your words, like chloroform
Compares the effect of the other person's words to a powerful anesthetic.
And I hate the taste
Dislikes the lingering aftertaste of those words.
That it puts into my mouth
Metaphorically stained, feeling permanently affected.
Now I'm always stained
Permanently marked emotionally, likened to stained sheets.
Like the sheets at my parents house
Feels deeply affected by past experiences, unable to forget.
Yeah, I'm awfully stained
Emphasizes the persistent and indelible nature of the emotional impact.
And it's never coming out
Implies that the emotional impact won't fade away.
Yeah, I'm always stained
Reiterates the enduring effect of the emotional experience.
It's a match that's been burned down
Compares the lasting impact to a burnt-out match, suggesting irreparable damage.
