I'll Tell You What
Unveiling Betrayal: Soy Celesté's Resilience in 'I'll Tell You What'
Lyrics
Your words were etched into my brain
Your words had a lasting impact on me.
So deep in the grooves
The influence of your words was deeply ingrained.
I was numb to the pain
I became emotionally numb to the pain caused.
And how could, you already script
How could you already plan and articulate deceitful words?
Such devious words
Using cunning words to label me as a fraud.
Call me a fraud
Defiant response: "I'll tell you what."
I'll tell you what
A journal entry meant for me was misplaced.
This journal entry addressed to me
Reinforcement of the misplaced journal entry.
Was misplaced
Directing the person to leave due to crossing a limit.
And I'll tell you what
Asserting that any reconciliation is impossible.
You crossed the final line
Expressing a final decision to end the relationship.
So get out of my face
Commanding the person to leave one's presence.
And I'll tell you what
Reiteration of the decision to end things.
All the good I ever saw in you
The positive perceptions of you were misguided.
Was a mistake
Acknowledging the mistake of seeing goodness in you.
Mmmhmm
Expressing agreement with the previous statement.
Such a mistake
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a mistake.
Mmhmmm
Expressing agreement again.
Sometimes I laugh at your maliciousness
Reflecting on the malicious nature of the person.
How you could call my life fictitious
Commenting on the person's disbelief in one's life.
You're such a fucking narcissist
Labeling the person as a narcissist.
And so I'm burning all your pages
Symbolic act of destroying memories associated with the person.
Along with all the tapes
Continuation of the symbolic act, erasing the person's voice from memory.
Of your voice inside my head
Declaring the end of the relationship.
And this, this is the every end
Emphasizing the finality of the situation.
But you go on an pretend
Accusing the person of pretending that reconciliation is possible.
Like we can make amends
Challenging the person's false optimism about reconciliation.
I'll tell you what
Repeating the defiant phrase: "I'll tell you what."
This journal entry addressed to me
Reiteration of the misplaced journal entry.
Was misplaced
Reinforcement of the misplacement.
And I'll tell you what
Repeating the command for the person to leave.
You crossed the final line
Reiterating the finality of the situation.
So get out of my face
Commanding the person to leave again.
And I'll tell you what
Restating the acknowledgment of the mistake in perceiving goodness.
All the good I ever saw in you
Emphasizing the misguided perception of goodness.
Was a mistake
Repeating the agreement with the mistake.
Mmhmm
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the mistake.
Such a mistake
Expressing agreement once again.
Mmhmmm
Final affirmation of the mistake.
I'll tell you what
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the mistake.
All the good I ever saw in you
Stressing the misguided perception of goodness.
Was a mistake
Repeating the agreement with the mistake.
Mmmhmm
Final affirmation of the mistake.
Such a mistake
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the mistake.
Mmhmmm
Final affirmation of the mistake.
