Feelings Change
Changing Emotions: The Tug of Love
Lyrics
Under cold water
Beginning in a challenging or uncomfortable situation
All alone
Isolation or loneliness
Why do I bother
Questioning the significance or purpose
I'm just sitting here by the phone
Waiting for communication or connection
Why you gotta love me so
Expressing confusion about the intensity of love
Th�en take it away?
Wondering why affection is given and then withdrawn
I spend my days thinking bout you
Spending time contemplating the person in question
And I'm not sure that you feel the same
Uncertainty about mutual feelings
So why can't you stay?
Desire for the person to stay
Feels like day to day your feelings change
Noticing a fluctuation in emotions from day to day
And I hope you feel the same way
Expressing hope for reciprocity in feelings
But when we get close I feel you pull away
Sensing emotional distance when getting closer
Pull away
Emphasizing the act of pulling away emotionally
And I can't blame you for feeling this back and forth
Understanding the complexity of back-and-forth feelings
It always feels like it's the wrong time
Feeling that the timing is consistently wrong
Both reeling from situations before this
Both individuals dealing with past situations
Could it ever be just fine, fine
Questioning if things could ever be truly fine
I pull you close and I feel you lean on my chest
Physical closeness with an emotional connection
Your shoulders drop when we touch, I feel you been kinda tense
Noticing tension in the other person
I rub your shoulders through the night you spin and give me a kiss
Seeking comfort through physical gestures
It's in moments like this, that I think everything fits
Finding a sense of completeness in certain moments
en you dip and you leave me on read
Being left on read, ignored or unanswered
You a ghost till you need me again
Being treated like a ghost until needed again
Like I'm supposed to be there, you need it
Expectation of support despite being neglected
But it isn't me, you got your niggas and they're creeping
Awareness of the presence of others in the person's life
I don't deserve the way you treat me
Feeling undeserving of mistreatment
I don't know why you're always leaving
Perplexity about the constant departure
I need consistency
Yearning for stability and constancy
This push and pull has been messing with me
Struggling with the emotional push and pull
Oh girl
Addressing the person, possibly expressing frustration
Feels like day to day your feelings change
Reiterating the fluctuation in emotions
And I know you feel the same way
Belief in the mutual experience of emotional change
But when we get close I feel you pull away
Sensing emotional distance even when feelings align
Pull away
Emphasizing the recurring act of pulling away
Just hold me close
Expressing a desire for physical closeness
Hold me close my darling Even if no one knows
Reassurance of presence and support in secrecy
I'll be there to hold you
Commitment to being there for the person
Till the trees start falling down
Symbolic imagery of steadfast support
Feels like day to day your feelings change
Reiteration of the emotional inconsistency
I know you feel the same way
Belief in the shared experience of emotional fluctuation
But when we get close I feel you pull away
Noting the recurring emotional distancing
Pull away
Emphasizing the repeated act of pulling away emotionally
