THIS WEEK
Surviving Love's Cycle: Sophia McIntosh's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I'm just getting used to being stuck inside this issue
I am still adjusting to dealing with this problem.
But who are you to tell me about all the things I been through and
Challenging the authority of someone who claims to understand my experiences.
You can't sit and tell me that you haven't been here too
Asserting that the other person has faced similar difficulties.
You don't get to talk about all your daddy issues
Dismissing the right of the other person to discuss their own issues.
All your friends your stupid man and all the things that they do no
Criticizing the judgment of friends and their actions.
I don't want to shut my lips and sit here like a fool
Expressing a desire not to stay silent and appear foolish.
I don't want to lie to you
Rejecting the idea of dishonesty.
Come on don't you cry
Encouraging someone not to cry or be emotional.
I guess I'm not getting through
Feeling unsuccessful in conveying a message or emotion.
Come on don't be shy
Encouraging someone not to be reserved or hesitant.
Make it happen this week
Expressing a desire for positive change or progress within the current week.
It really isn't that deep
Minimizing the significance of the situation.
I think you're out of control
Perceiving the other person as being out of control.
So I made a mistake
Acknowledging a mistake that has been made.
I hope it isn't too late
Expressing hope that the mistake is not irreparable.
But baby you're not off the hook cause you've done the same thing before
Holding the other person accountable for past actions.
And your just getting used to being stuck inside the cycle of
Describing a repetitive and confining pattern of behavior.
Somebody who's treating you a lesson of survival
Highlighting someone as a source of life lessons.
I don't want to see you getting beat up like you do and
Expressing concern about the other person being mistreated.
I know that your man and you
Acknowledging the relationship between the person and their partner.
You think that I am psycho but
Addressing a perception of being labeled as crazy.
I don't want to see him treating you like the recycle
Rejecting the idea of someone being treated as disposable.
I don't know how anybody could be that cruel no
Expressing disbelief at the cruelty of certain actions.
I don't want to lie to you
Reiterating the rejection of dishonesty.
Come on don't be shy
Encouraging openness and honesty.
I guess I'm not getting through
Expressing frustration at a lack of understanding.
Come on tell me why
Urging the other person to explain their behavior.
Make it happen this week
Repeating the desire for positive change within the current week.
It really isn't that deep
Reiterating the perception of the situation's lack of depth.
I think you're out of control
Maintaining the view that the other person is losing control.
So I made a mistake
Acknowledging a personal mistake.
I hope it isn't too late
Expressing a hope for redemption despite the mistake.
But baby you're not off the hook cause you've done the same thing before
Holding the other person accountable for past actions.
Make it happen this week
Reiterating the desire for positive change within the current week.
