All That I Held on To
Embracing Change: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in 'All That I Held on To'
Lyrics
There is a lie I tell myself most nights
Acknowledging a self-deception that occurs frequently at night.
What's happening to me is the same for you
Expressing a shared experience with someone else, suggesting common struggles.
I know that I am just keeping my mind
Recognizing the act of maintaining mental stability.
From racing off to darker places
Avoiding the descent into darker thoughts and emotions.
Because I'm not sure what I'd do
Uncertainty about one's reaction if deep-seated fears were realized.
If all my deep seeded fears came true
Fearful contemplation of potential negative outcomes.
Now I just want to feel okay
Expressing a desire to feel emotionally stable.
With the person that I am these days
Seeking acceptance and contentment with one's current self.
You changed me, but not for the better
Acknowledging a negative transformation influenced by someone else.
The notes you wrote
Referring to messages or letters received from the person.
I've kept them on my wall
Keeping tangible reminders of past positive experiences on display.
Just dumb reminders of times I felt wanted
Viewing these reminders as foolish mementos of feeling valued.
And I can't help but hope that you'll feel
Expressing a desire for the person to feel remorse.
Regret for something you wish you could
Wishing the person regrets actions they can't change.
Go back and recreate
Reflecting on unfulfilled hopes and aspirations.
But these hopes are fading fast
Realizing that these hopes are diminishing rapidly.
Now I just want to feel okay
Reiterating the desire for emotional well-being.
With the person that I am these days
Continuing the struggle for self-acceptance.
You changed me, but not for the better
Reaffirming the negative impact of the person's influence.
Knowing all that I held on to
Understanding the meaninglessness of what was held onto.
Was meaningless to you
Highlighting the lack of significance for the person.
Knowing all that I held on to
Repeating the realization of meaningless attachments.
Was meaningless to you
Emphasizing the lack of importance to the person.
Knowing all that I held on to
Reiterating the insignificance of what was cherished.
Was meaningless to you
Stressing the lack of meaning for the individual.
To you
Reinforcing the idea that it was meaningless for the person.
Now I just want to feel okay
Repeating the desire for emotional stability.
With the person that I am these days
Continuing the quest for self-acceptance.
You changed me, but not for the better
Affirming the negative impact of the person on self.
Now I just want to feel okay
Reiterating the pursuit of emotional well-being.
With the person that I am these days
Persisting in the effort for self-acceptance.
You changed me, but not for the better
Acknowledging the detrimental change caused by the person.
Not for the better
Emphasizing the negative impact without improvement.
