And You'll Say
Navigating Love's Complications: Evasion or Embrace?
Lyrics
And you will say
Anticipation of the other person speaking or expressing a sentiment.
If it makes you happy I'll just walk away
Willingness to step back or withdraw if it brings happiness to the other person.
If it makes you lonely I'll stay
Commitment to stay even if it causes loneliness for the sake of the relationship.
We're living this why should we run away
Questioning the need to escape from the challenges of life together.
But we won't get that far
Recognition that despite intentions, they may not overcome difficulties.
And you will say
Expectation of hearing a declaration that love was never present.
You never loved me anyway
Assertion that the other person never truly had affection.
And you could leave
Acknowledgment that leaving is an option, but it's not the desired outcome.
But that's not what I want
Expressing a preference for something other than parting ways.
And you can have what's yours
Offering the other person to retain what belongs to them.
And I'll just take what's mine
Deciding to claim only what rightfully belongs to oneself.
Cause it's easier to lie
Choosing deception as it seems simpler than facing the truth.
What'll keep us alive
Seeking understanding of what sustains their existence.
What'll keep us high
Exploring what keeps them in a state of elation or intoxication.
What'll keep us happy
Inquiring about the factors contributing to their shared happiness.
And you will say
Reiteration of the belief that love was never present in the relationship.
You never loved me anyway
Reinforcing the notion that genuine love was absent.
And you could leave
Recognizing the option to leave but expressing a desire for a different outcome.
But that's not what I want
Stating a preference for an alternative to separation.
And you can have what's yours
Offering the other person the right to keep what belongs to them.
And I'll just take what's mine
Choosing to claim only what rightfully belongs to oneself.
Cause it's easier to lie
Preferring deception as it appears easier than facing the truth.
And you will say
Anticipation of another statement, possibly an expression of desire to escape together.
Would it make you happy If we could just run away
Exploring the possibility of finding happiness by running away from current circumstances.
I can always picture your smile
Remembering the joy reflected in the other person's smile.
But if you leave your conscience undone
Warning that abandoning one's conscience can have consequences despite a pleasant demeanor.
A smile can get you far
Belief that a smile can be influential and take someone far.
And you will say
Expectation of hearing a declaration that love was never present, echoing earlier lines.
You never loved me anyway
Reiteration of the assertion that true love was never experienced.
And you could leave
Recognition of the option to leave, but a preference for an alternative resolution.
But that's not what I want
Expressing a desire for something different than separation.
And you can have what's yours
Offering the other person the right to keep what belongs to them.
And I'll just take what's mine
Choosing to claim only what rightfully belongs to oneself.
Cause it's easier
Reiteration of the idea that deception is easier than facing the truth.
And you will say
Anticipation of hearing the claim that love was never present, echoing earlier lines.
You never loved me anyway
Reinforcing the belief that genuine love was never part of the relationship.
And you could leave
Recognizing the option to leave but expressing a preference for a different outcome.
But that's not what I want
Stating a preference for an alternative to separation.
And you can have what's yours
Offering the other person the right to keep what belongs to them.
And I'll just take what's mine
Choosing to claim only what rightfully belongs to oneself.
Cause it's easier
Reiteration that deception is perceived as easier than confronting the truth.
Cause it's easier to lie
Final emphasis on the preference for deception over facing the complexities of reality.
