Loneliness Is Worse
Embracing Happiness Amidst Loneliness
Lyrics
When you've had enough
Expressing reaching a point of saturation or exhaustion.
When you've got it bad enough and you can't let go
Describing a severe situation where letting go is difficult.
When it comes to blows
Referring to a conflict or confrontation.
And you start to overflow
Overflowing emotions or struggles becoming overwhelming.
And you can't get home
Feeling lost or unable to find one's way back.
It's a subtle kind of cruel
Describing a subtle form of cruelty in the situation.
It taps my spine here
Expressing a physical or emotional reaction to the situation.
I'm drawing a line
Setting boundaries or taking a stand.
I'm asking please
A polite request for cooperation or understanding.
Don't you want to be happy with me?
Asking if the other person wants to share happiness.
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn sadder than you ever were
Fear of becoming sadder than the other person if they don't reconnect.
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
Emphasizing that loneliness is a worse state than the current situation.
You've got to try
Encouraging an effort to improve the situation.
December's all alone and he's calling me on the phone
Using December as a metaphor for solitude and isolation.
But he sounds so cold
Describing a cold and distant communication.
He says he loves me so
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of love.
But how would I ever know?
Questioning the ability to trust words.
Certain words grow old
Highlighting the weariness of certain repeated expressions.
It's a vicious kind of catch
Describing a deceptive or tricky situation.
It sides me blind now
Being emotionally blinded or misled.
I'm out of my mind
Feeling overwhelmed and losing rationality.
I want to scream
Expressing a strong desire to release emotions.
Don't you want to be happy with me?
Reiterating the desire for shared happiness.
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn sadder than you ever were
Repeating the fear of becoming sadder without reconnection.
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
Reiterating the idea that loneliness is a worse state.
You've got to try
Encouraging active efforts to maintain the relationship.
Love liked me long ago
Recalling a past time when love was present.
It had a way of making everyone the same
Noting the transformative power of love.
But now the angels must laugh and sigh
Speculating on the reactions of angels to a desperate plea.
To hear me pleading with you
Expressing the urgency of the plea and the need for the other person.
Needing this you this way
Expressing dependence and longing for the person in a specific way.
Oh why don't you want to be happy with me?
Questioning why the other person wouldn't want shared happiness.
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn sadder than you ever were
Reiterating the fear of increased sadness without reconnection.
And you'll learn loneliness is worse
Emphasizing the idea that loneliness is a worse state than the current situation.
You've got to try to stay mine all the way
Encouraging continued effort to maintain the relationship.
