Lyrics
Maybe your expectations are too high
Perhaps your expectations are excessively high
Why do I have to be anything
Questioning the necessity of conforming to specific roles or identities
Let me go on living my lie
Requesting the freedom to continue living a life based on falsehoods
Why don't you go ahead and do the same
Suggesting the other person should also live their life without interference
I'm just fine as I am but
Expressing contentment with oneself despite contrary opinions
You say you've got some doubts
Acknowledging doubts raised by the other person
Oh and here is the part
Introduction to a significant part of the conversation
Where you say you'll stay
Referring to a commitment to stay
If only I could change
Expressing a desire for change, but hindered by personal principles
But I don't play those games, sweetheart
Rejecting manipulative or deceptive behaviors
I can see it deep in your eyes
Observing an unspoken truth in the other person's eyes
You don't dare show me what's inside
Noticing a reluctance to reveal inner emotions
With your heart of stone piercing mine
Describing the other person's emotional coldness affecting the speaker
Behind a facade of calm, you go off and hide
Highlighting a deceptive calmness concealing true feelings
Heaven help me through
Seeking divine assistance in navigating a challenging relationship
These endless tomorrows with you
Expressing difficulty in facing an indefinite future with the other person
You used to let me see the truth
Recalling a past when the truth was visible in the relationship
But now you're too far gone to be redeemed
Asserting that the other person is beyond redemption
And you're even further from what you seemed
Stating that the person's true nature is even more distant than perceived
Your melody— I can't get it out of my head
Referencing an unforgettable melody associated with the person
Your tragedy— the drama you bring's so overrated
Describing the person's life as a dramatic and overrated tragedy
Don't dare refrain, no, no
Encouraging the person not to hold back or show restraint
Don't bother to explain
Advising against explaining or justifying actions
