The Man in the Yellow Sweater
Unraveling Love's Deception: The Man in the Yellow Sweater
Lyrics
Take your time
Expressing the importance of taking time.
Think it over, I know you won't
Suggesting that the listener won't take the suggested time.
Even though you say you will
Highlighting a contradiction in the listener's statement.
Why should I keep trying?
Questioning the purpose of continued effort.
I've watched you do this so many times
Observing a repeated behavior of the listener.
I didn't know I was so blind
Realizing a previous lack of awareness.
I should've known, I should've known
Expressing regret for not knowing earlier.
What do you know?
Prompting the listener's knowledge or awareness.
Here we go again
Indicating a recurring cycle of events.
Put us in the past, it doesn't matter anyway
Minimizing the significance of the past.
I knew I should've called it quits
Acknowledging a missed opportunity to end things.
That day that I saw your dark side
Referring to a specific moment of recognizing a negative aspect.
You thought I was something you could fix
Perceiving oneself as a problem to be fixed by the listener.
Or just take control of
Implying an attempt to control the speaker.
I blame myself for trying to hide
Taking responsibility for attempting to conceal something.
Instead of listening to the signs
Regretting not paying attention to warning signs.
I keep finding myself asking
Expressing confusion about the purpose of effort.
Why did I bother?
Questioning the value of past attempts.
I should've known, I should've known
Reiterating regret for not knowing earlier.
What do you know?
Repeating the inquiry about the listener's knowledge.
Here we go again
Highlighting a recurring cycle of events.
Put us in the past, it doesn't matter anyway
Downplaying the importance of the past.
What do you know, what do you know?
Repeating the inquiry about the listener's knowledge.
I should've known
Expressing regret for not knowing earlier.
Here we go again
Reiterating a recurring cycle of events.
Just don't say a word, I know you're not listening
Recognizing the listener's lack of engagement.
I lie awake at night and can't seem to rest
Describing difficulty in finding peace at night.
It feels like you're preaching what's best for me
Suspecting the listener's advice may not be genuinely beneficial.
As if a year from now I'll have something to owe
Doubting the future benefits of following the listener's guidance.
I should've known, I should've known
Reiterating regret for not knowing earlier.
What do you know?
Repeating the inquiry about the listener's knowledge.
Here we go again
Highlighting a recurring cycle of events.
Put us in the past, it doesn't matter anyway
Minimizing the importance of the past.
What do you know, what do you know?
Repeating the inquiry about the listener's knowledge.
I should've known
Expressing regret for not knowing earlier.
Here we go again
Reiterating a recurring cycle of events.
Just don't say a word, I know you're not listening
Recognizing the listener's lack of engagement.
