Mess You Made
Struggling for Connection: The Weight of Unseen Pain
Lyrics
I’m tired of saying goodbye
The speaker is exhausted from repeatedly bidding farewell.
These worn out excuses
Excuses that have been used often and are worn out.
Weigh heavy and frozen in time
These excuses are burdensome and seem stuck in the past.
This burden I carry
The weight of this burden is preventing the speaker from feeling low.
Keeps my head from hanging
Despite the burden, it's helping the speaker keep their head up.
But honestly
The speaker questions if the situation is fated or meant to happen.
Is it meant to be
Expressing doubt about the relationship's purpose.
Cause lately I’ve been holding on by a thread
Recently, the speaker has been barely holding on emotionally.
Do you even see me at all
Questioning if the other person notices or acknowledges the speaker.
Would you catch me if I fall
Asking if the person would support or help if the speaker were to fail.
Could you cut me some slack
Requesting for some leniency or understanding.
My words suffer buried
The speaker's words are overshadowed or disregarded due to suppressed emotions.
Beneath these emotions I lack
Feelings are buried underneath unexpressed emotions.
Am I breathing at all
Doubting if the speaker is truly living or merely existing.
She said you’re better off dead
Someone has suggested that the speaker might be better off dead.
Do you even see me at all
Reiterating the feeling of being unseen or ignored.
Would you catch me if I fall
Asking if the person would be there to support in a vulnerable moment.
Cause I’ve been tearing apart at my skin
The speaker is emotionally breaking down, causing distress.
Just to see what I’m made of
Desperation to understand oneself by pushing personal boundaries.
Still you loosen your grip
Despite the breakdown, the other person remains emotionally distant.
What are you so afraid of
Questioning the other person's fear that leads to emotional detachment.
