Rough Love
Breaking Free from Love's Stranglehold
Lyrics
When I say that I want to leave
Expressing a desire to end the relationship or situation.
You see right through me
Feeling transparent or exposed, as the partner understands the speaker's intentions.
You call my bluff and you take my keys
The partner challenges the sincerity, possibly indicating a reluctance to let go, and takes control of the situation.
So I'll never be lonely
Being kept from loneliness by the partner's actions.
I can't live my life like this
Expressing discontent with the current state of life.
It's pulling me under but
Feeling overwhelmed by the negative situation.
I can't live my life without you now
Despite the challenges, unable to imagine life without the partner.
This love is wearing me out
The intensity of love is causing exhaustion.
It's wearing you out
Both partners are affected by the toll of the relationship.
It's wearing us down
The relationship is causing a gradual decline or deterioration.
This love you're dragging it out
The lingering and unresolved nature of the love is causing distress.
I'm dragging it out
The speaker is prolonging the situation.
It's dragging us down
The situation is negatively impacting both partners.
We'll never see eye to eye
Acknowledging a fundamental disagreement that cannot be resolved.
But I'm still keeping you warm at night
Despite differences, still providing comfort or warmth.
If you know me better than I know myself then we'll never be alright
The impossibility of resolving issues, leading to a sense of hopelessness.
I can't live my life like this
Reiteration of the inability to continue living in the current situation.
It's pulling me under but
The negative situation is becoming increasingly burdensome.
I can't live my life without you now
The dependency on the partner despite the difficulties.
This love is wearing me out
Emphasizing the exhaustion caused by the intensity of love.
It's wearing you out
Both partners are feeling the wear and tear of the relationship.
It's wearing us down
The relationship is gradually breaking down.
This love you're dragging it out
The unresolved nature of love is prolonging the suffering.
I'm dragging it out
The speaker is contributing to the prolongation of the situation.
It's dragging us down
The situation is adversely affecting both partners.
I never wanted to live this way
Expressing a dislike for the current way of life.
So give me the strength to leave
Seeking strength to break free from the love that is causing distress.
This love is wearing me out
Reiteration of the exhausting nature of the love.
It's wearing you out
Both partners are feeling the impact of the draining relationship.
It's wearing us down
The relationship is taking a toll on both individuals.
This love you're dragging it out
The unresolved love is prolonging the suffering.
I'm dragging it out
The speaker is contributing to the prolongation of the situation.
It's dragging us down
The situation is adversely affecting both partners.
I never wanted to live this way
Reiteration of the dislike for the current way of life.
So give me the strength to leave
Seeking the strength to leave the current situation.
Where you and I go out separate ways
Expressing a desire for separation and peace.
And finally live in peace
Anticipating a peaceful life after parting ways.
