If I Dwell
Unraveling Heartstrings: Exploring the Emotional Tapestry of 'If I Dwell' by Sophia Bacino
Lyrics
If I dwell
If I focus my attention
On your touch
On the sensation of your touch
That's fled across my skin and such
That has traversed my skin and similar experiences
Stolen sickly love's sweet rush
Stolen moments of love's intense excitement
I fall apart
I emotionally break down
If I write
If I express in writing
A thousand songs
A multitude of songs
About your arms where I belong
About your arms, the place where I feel a sense of belonging
I still won't know where we went wrong
Yet, I still remain uncertain about where our relationship went wrong
And that breaks my heart
Resulting in heartbreak
But I
However, I
Only cry
Only shed tears
Want to die
Wish for an escape from life
Inside a bit
Internally feeling broken
But that's only if I dwell on it
But this occurs solely if I dwell on it
When I'm out
When I'm outside
With my friends
In the company of friends
I'm fine until I'm reminded
I appear composed until memories resurface
I fall inside my grieving head
I plunge into my thoughts of grief
Takes all my might to get out of it
Requiring considerable effort to break free
But I'll be fine
Despite the challenges, I reassure myself that I'll be okay
Cause I
Because I
Only cry
Only experience sorrow
Want to die
Wish for an end to my existence
Inside a bit
Internally, to a certain extent
Only if I dwell on it
Under the condition that I dwell on it
But that's only if I dwell on it
Yet, this happens only if I dwell on it
