The Doctor
A Soul's Plea: Yearning to Bridge Worlds
Lyrics
Don't you send for the doctor 'cause I'm dyin' the blues
Expressing a plea not to seek medical help because the person is emotionally overwhelmed by the blues.
I got nothin' to live for and nothin' to lose
Feeling a lack of purpose and having nothing to risk or sacrifice.
And I know in my mind, in my heart
Awareness that there is a significant emotional distance between the speaker and another person.
That we live two worlds apart
Acknowledging the existence of separate worlds in the relationship.
And I know in my mind I can't bear
Understanding emotionally that the burden is too heavy to bear.
To lose all the things that we share
Fearing the loss of shared experiences and connections.
Don't you call for the doctor 'cause I'm cryin' in shame
Discouraging the idea of seeking help due to a sense of shame and regret.
I got no excuses 'cause I'm the one to blame
Accepting responsibility for the situation and rejecting excuses.
And I know in my heart it's all up to you
Believing that the power to change the circumstances lies with the other person.
To give me the chance that I gave to you
Requesting a chance for reconciliation, emphasizing the reciprocity of chances.
And I know in my mind I can't bear
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of facing the potential loss.
To lose all the things that we share
Expressing the fear of losing shared aspects of the relationship.
Don't you call for the doctor 'cause I'm cryin' in shame
Repeating the discouragement of seeking help, emphasizing the emotional pain.
I got no excuses 'cause I'm the one to blame
Reiterating personal responsibility and lack of excuses.
And I know in my mind, in my heart
Restating the awareness of the emotional distance between the speaker and the other person.
That we live two worlds apart
Reaffirming the existence of separate worlds within the relationship.
And I know in my mind I can't bear
Emphasizing the emotional difficulty of facing potential loss.
To lose all the things that we share
Reiterating the fear of losing shared aspects of the relationship.
And I know in my mind it's all up to you
Reaffirming that the power to change lies with the other person.
You gotta know in your heart, it's all up to you
Highlighting the reciprocal nature of the situation and emphasizing the other person's role.
Would you please give me the chance that I gave to you
Pleading for the same chance that was previously given, completing the cycle of reciprocity.
