Would Have Killed
Unspoken Desires: A Heart's Silent Struggle
Lyrics
And you know what I know
Expressing shared knowledge or understanding between the speaker and another person.
Why would you think to do this to me
Questioning why someone would intentionally harm the speaker.
A reason so simple
Suggesting that the motive behind the action is straightforward or uncomplicated.
You could never dream the answer
Implies that the person could never imagine or fathom the reason behind their action.
If we're so different from ourselves
Reflecting on potential differences within oneself.
Could I have seen this inner you
Wondering if the speaker could have perceived the true nature or essence of the other person.
And touched its face for ever a brief moment
Imagining briefly touching the core or essence of the other person.
And standing back, now so detached from you
Feeling emotionally detached from the other person and the situation.
I realize why you didn't want me there
Realizing the reason why the other person didn't want the speaker involved or present.
I would have killed if just this one time
Expressing extreme emotional turmoil, feeling capable of drastic action under certain circumstances.
Time was on our side
Suggesting that there was enough time available for something to happen.
And even when we walk away
Even upon leaving, the other person would have acknowledged the effort or attempt made by the speaker.
You would have cared that I tried
Regret at not being able to convey something important to the other person.
And I had so much left to tell you
Feeling incomplete or unfinished in communication or sharing thoughts with the other person.
So many pieces left to place
There are many unresolved aspects or things left unaddressed in the relationship.
But now the puzzle fell apart
Metaphorically describing a breakdown or collapse of the relationship.
To just the shadow of your face
Only a vague, incomplete, or diminished version of the other person is left.
I would have killed for the last chance
Expressing an extreme willingness to do anything for a final opportunity or chance.
Would have bled a thousand miles
Metaphorically willing to endure significant pain or hardship for the chance to be with the other person.
Through the thorns that line the path
Describing difficulties and obstacles along the way to reaching the other person.
Just to kneel beside you as you were collapsing
Desiring to be there for the other person during their vulnerable or difficult moments.
And holding both hands
Expressing a desire to offer support or comfort to the other person.
I could say I was still there
Claiming a lingering presence or commitment despite the circumstances.
It's killing me
Feeling emotionally distraught or tormented by the situation.
But I'm still here
Despite the emotional toll, the speaker remains present or alive.
