Nerve: Unwanted Love's Haunting Echoes
Lyrics
And I kept the light on for months
Keeping hope alive, waiting for someone
And I set the table once for two
Preparing for a shared meal or moment
Hoping, baby, that it'd be for you
Anticipating that the moment would involve the person
And now,
Transitioning to a current situation
your sentences have frozen me like this
Feeling emotionally paralyzed by the person's words/actions
I'm helpless as the wine drips from my lips
Feeling vulnerable, losing control
I knew that there were others on his list
Awareness of other romantic interests
You,
Directing attention towards the person
You got a lot of nerve showing up to my house like this
Expressing surprise/disbelief at their presence
When you ain't supposed to love me anymore
Acknowledging the end of love
And you,
Refocusing attention on the person's fate
You get what you deserve in the end
Belief in deserved consequences
Everybody knows this
Universal understanding of consequences
But you don't get to love me
Restricting affection towards the person
But you ain't supposed to love me anymore
Reiterating the end of love
Something so cruel to me
Feeling emotionally hurt by something
The gods overruling me
Perceiving external forces impacting life
'Cause just as I'm forgetting your voice
Forgetting the person's presence/sound
They leave me no choice
Feeling forced to remember
Where were we again?
Uncertain about the current situation
Where do I begin?
Questioning the starting point
Oh you,
Reiterating surprise at their appearance
You got a lot of nerve showing up to my house like this
Expressing disbelief at their presence
When you ain't supposed to love me anymore
Reiterating the end of love's expectation
And you,
Reiterating belief in deserved consequences
You get what you deserve in the end
Reiterating universal understanding of consequences
Everybody knows this
Reaffirming restricted affection towards the person
But you don't get to love me
Reiterating the end of love's expectation
But you ain't supposed to love me anymore
Reaffirming the end of love
Oh you,
Reiterating surprise at their appearance
You got a lot of nerve showing up to my house like this
Reiterating the end of love's expectation
When you ain't supposed to love me anymore
Reiterating belief in deserved consequences
And you,
Reiterating universal understanding of consequences
You get what you deserve in the end
Reaffirming restricted affection towards the person
Everybody knows this
Reiterating the end of love's expectation
But you don't get to love me
Reiterating the end of love
But you ain't supposed to love me anymore
Reaffirming the end of love's expectation
