Didn't Want to Have to Do It
Heartbreak Harmony: White Flowers' Unwanted Goodbye
Lyrics
Didn't want to have to do it
Reluctance to take a certain action
Didn't want to have to break your heart
Avoiding causing emotional pain
Didn't want to have to do it
Repeated reluctance or hesitation
I kept hoping from the start
Continued optimism despite doubts
But you kept on trying
Acknowledgment of the other person's effort
I knew you'd up crying
Anticipation of the other's emotional reaction
I didn't want to have to do it at all
Strong resistance or aversion to the action
Didn't want to have to do it
Reiteration of not desiring the action
Didn't have to be the one to say it
Reluctance to take on a specific role
Didn't want to have to do it
Repeated hesitation or unwillingness
Kept hoping there'd be something to delay it
Hope for a postponement or interruption
Again, again, again,
Repetition indicating a cycle of reluctance
But then
Transition to a turning point or realization
No, I didn't want to have to be the one to say the end
Reluctance to declare the conclusion
There was a time I thought that we could fly
Recollection of a past optimistic belief
And never ever fall
Idealistic view without foreseeing challenges
Why should you suppose we didn't ever meant to be close
Questioning the validity of the relationship
At all
Doubts about the genuine closeness
Didn't want to have to do it
Continued resistance to a difficult task
Didn't have to be the one to say it
Reiteration of avoiding a specific role
Didn't want to have to do it
Repeated reluctance or hesitance
Kept hoping there'd be something to delay it
Hope for a delay or interruption (again)
Again, again, again,
Repetition emphasizing a cycle of reluctance
But then
Transition to an unavoidable conclusion
No, I didn't want to have to be the one to say the end
Reluctance in accepting and declaring the end
