Embracing Attitude: A Candid Reflection on Expression
Lyrics
Well when you open that bottle of wine
Opening a bottle of wine leads to complications and problems.
You open a can of worms every time
Drinking wine brings about difficult situations or discussions.
Now you don't stop, that ain't true
Contrary to the listener's belief, the speaker doesn't stop.
Never said a word, I never had to
The speaker never verbally expressed their feelings; it was unnecessary.
It was my attitude
The cause of the issue was the speaker's demeanor.
That you thought was rude
The listener perceived the speaker's attitude as impolite.
It was my attitude
The listener's judgment was based on the speaker's attitude.
Old habits are hard to break
Breaking old habits is challenging for the speaker.
And I don't know how much I can take
The speaker is uncertain about how much pressure they can endure.
What I think is on the tip
The speaker is about to express their thoughts.
Of my tongue so I let it slip

Remember sitting back in school
Recalling a time in school when the speaker refrained from speaking.
I held my tongue
The speaker held back their words until it became difficult.
Until it turned blue
Turning blue suggests extreme self-restraint by the speaker.
They said I had an attitude
Others labeled the speaker as having an attitude.
You just failed my test
The listener fails the speaker's test, leading to disappointment.
Cause I know you be the best
The listener is acknowledged as the best, yet the speaker is dismissed.
So wipe me off as you conclude

A POV is what I can't use
