Lyrics
It doesn’t matter how hard you try
Despite your efforts, it won't change the outcome.
You’re never gonna see another side
You won't experience a different perspective.
You’re gonna hear what you want
People will only hear what they want to hear.
You’re gonna hear what you want
Repetition emphasizes the selective nature of perception.
And I’ve been breaking through the bricks
Overcoming obstacles in pursuit of understanding.
Digging under climbing over this
Struggling and adapting to challenges.
Still, I don’t know you at all
A lack of true understanding of someone.
No, I don’t know you all
Reiteration of not knowing the person completely.
Here, I dare to dream that long ago
Reflecting on a distant time with hopeful imagination.
You had eyes deep as the ocean floor
Recalling a past when the person seemed profound.
And what you gave was something real
The past interactions had genuine depth.
Not just blank stares at the steering wheel
Contrasting real connection with superficial moments.
I used to pray for a miracle
Longing for something extraordinary.
But it hurts less if I let you go
Pain of letting go is preferable to holding on.
I always sit and wonder when it changed
Reflecting on the moment when everything changed.
Tell me why you went away
Questioning the reason for the person's departure.
Now you only see what you want
Current perception is selective and biased.
You only see what you want
Repetition highlights the limited viewpoint.
It’s like I’m living with a stranger
Feeling disconnected, like living with a stranger.
Who only sees me like a ghost
The person sees the speaker as if they don't exist.
When were you gonna tell me no one’s home?
Realizing the absence of communication.
Here, I dare to hope soon I’ll have found
Hope for personal growth and healing.
My heart won’t feel as cavernous as it does now
Anticipating emotional recovery in the future.
Like trilliums, I’ll grow in shade
Comparing personal growth to the trillium flower.
Safe and clouded from your summer rays
Seeking refuge from emotional challenges.
I used to pray for a miracle
Formerly desiring miraculous solutions.
But it hurts less if I let you go
Acceptance of pain as a part of letting go.
You buried me so far beneath
Feeling emotionally buried and unreachable.
Broke both my hands trying to reach
Suffering while trying to connect with the person.
Here, I dare to try to climb this rope
Facing the challenge of personal growth.
And learn to love all of the ways I’ve grown
Acknowledging and embracing personal development.
These trilliums always return
Trilliums symbolize resilience and strength.
A sweet reminder of the strength of earth
Nature as a reminder of inherent strength.
I used to scream just so I’d be heard
Past attempts to be heard through vocal expression.
But now I’m wise enough to know my worth
Understanding self-worth without the need for validation.
And now I’m wise enough to know my worth
Embracing self-worth through gained wisdom.
