Grit
Grit: Navigating Love's Turmoil with Unspoken Possibilities
Lyrics
You asked me why I'm still here
You inquired about my reason for staying.
I think I stay cuz I like the pain
I remain because I find some satisfaction in the emotional pain.
And I won't listen to my friends
I choose not to heed the advice of my friends.
At this point they all know you're insane
By now, they recognize your behavior as irrational or unstable.
Then you said I'm a selfish prick
You accused me of being self-centered.
And I'll grit my teeth through all of this
I will endure the challenges with determination.
And I can eat and eat and eat
I can engage in excess, attempting to fill an emotional void.
Try to fill it up
Despite efforts to fill the void, it remains.
I started gaining weight
I experienced weight gain as a result.
I stopped going out
I withdrew from social activities.
I stopped going out
Well there's a biblical amount
There is a significant amount of advice available.
Of advice that I've heard
I ignore all the advice I've received.
I take none of it in
Despite the advice, the situation continues to worsen.
Things just keep getting worse
I need to find a solution independently.
I need to figure this out on my own
You are not receptive; distracted by your phone.
Cuz you're not listening,
You're looking at your phone
-Well I've got possibilities
I have imagined various potential outcomes.
That I've played out in my head
Some scenarios end with both of us being happy.
One ends with us both happy
Alternatively, some scenarios end with both of us dead.
One ends with us both dead
Yeah, I've got possibilities
I contemplate different possibilities in my mind.
That I've played out in my head
These possibilities persist in my thoughts.
In my head
In my thoughts.
Well I'm happy you didn't push me off the edge
I express relief that you didn't drive me to a breaking point.
I take moments like these
I cherish moments like these, storing them in my memories.
And I carry them forever in my head
These moments of relief and gratitude are everlasting.
You are the one that I'd root for
You are the person for whom I would cheer and support.
You are the one that I'd root for
Reiteration of the sentiment that you are the one worth supporting.
You are the one that I'd root for
