Lyrics
Maybe I'm still hurting
Expressing lingering emotional pain or distress.
I can't turn the other cheek
Unable to ignore or overlook past grievances.
But you know that I still love you
Acknowledging enduring love despite communication barriers.
It's just that I can't speak
Difficulty expressing emotions verbally.
I looked for you in everyone
Searching for the person in others, facing criticism for doing so.
And they called me on that too
Facing scrutiny for seeking someone's presence.
I lived alone but I was only
Living alone but emotionally connected and returning to the person.
Coming back to you
Continual return to the person despite challenges.
Ah they're shutting down the factory now
External challenges and financial strain.
Just when all the bills are due
Factory closure coincides with financial obligations.
And the fields they're under lock and key
Nature metaphorically representing challenges, yet persisting.
Tho' the rain and the sun come through
Enduring challenges, both positive (sun) and negative (rain).
And springtime starts but then it stops
Temporary progress halted in the pursuit of something new.
In the name of something new
Obstacles faced in the name of personal growth.
And all the senses rise against this
Senses resisting the emotional return to the person.
Coming back to you
Despite challenges, emotionally coming back to the person.
And they're handing down my sentence now
Acknowledging a forthcoming consequence or judgment.
And I know what I must do
Acceptance of responsibility and commitment to action.
Another mile of silence while I'm
Enduring a period of silence and reflection.
Coming back to you
Persisting in the emotional return to the person.
There are many in your life
Acknowledging various relationships in one's life.
And many still to be
Acknowledging the potential for more relationships.
Since you are a shining light
Recognizing the person as a source of guidance and positivity.
There's many that you'll see
Anticipating encountering many individuals influenced by the person.
But I have to deal with envy
Dealing with jealousy when the person chooses few individuals.
When you choose the precious few
Selected individuals who have sacrificed pride for the person.
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Pride left behind in the process of emotional return.
Coming back to you
Continuing the emotional return despite challenges.
Even in your arms I know
Doubting one's ability to fully please the person.
I'll never get it right
Acknowledging imperfection even within the person's embrace.
Even when you bend to give me
Receiving comfort from the person but questioning its authenticity.
Comfort in the night
Desiring assurance and authenticity in emotional comfort.
I've got to have your word on this
Seeking confirmation and truth in the person's words.
Or none of it is true
Emphasizing the importance of the person's affirmation.
And all I've said was just instead of
Previous statements were a substitute for the emotional return.
Coming back to you
Reiterating the theme of continually coming back emotionally.
