Some more relationship reflections from my first ever romantic relationship:
"How've you been? Can I come in?
Just came to get my things and then I guess I'm leaving"
This particular segment of the song doesn't really relate to the relationship that I had with my ex because we never lived with each other or anything. The only reason I'd go see him would be to pick up my book that I lent him, but not gonna happen!
"If I could say what you'd like to hear
I'd whisper in your ear it's only temporary
But I've been taking you for granted"
A part of me just wanted to take a break from what we had for the time being and get back together once he had more free time to spend with me, but then I realized he was taking me for granted and I didn't want to wait around and be walked all over any longer.
"I thought you'd feel the same as me
It's time that I come clean, but
But for now can we just both pretend to sleep"
When I ended things, I expected him to fight for me, to fight for us, but no! I really didn't want us to be over, but he wasn't putting the effort in anymore and I didn't have the physical or the mental capacity to carry the burden alone. I had tried many time to communicate what it was that I needed, but he just didn't get it and wouldn't even try to understand.
"Sometimes the one you want is not the one you need
What goes around don't come around
You should know me by now"
I wanted him and he claimed to want me, but it's like, if you really want someone, wouldn't you continue to put the same effort in throughout the whole relationship? Wouldn't you take the time to communicate what it is you need in order for the relationship to be a success? I'll admit, he did communicate his needs, but he didn't validate my own needs and what good of a relationship is it when only one partner is getting their needs met? What I gave to him I wasn't getting in return. I thought he would have known me better than he did, but I guess not.
"Our talk is small, I'm seven inches tall
And you should keep the apartment
So here's my keys, changed all the bills
We're only built to spill and wonder where the heart went
You've been taking me for granted."
It didn't use to be small, but as we were nearing the end of our relationship, our talk didn't go as deep as it used to because he wouldn't open up as much like he did before.
So in the end, we were only built to spill and wondering where the heart went when really, no relationship is going to be all happy-go-lucky all the time. He really did take me for granted.
"I know that I remember you
I think that you remember me too
How can one of us still feel blessed when the other one's lost
I know you've got to feel the change
It just gets worse when it stays the same
How can one of us still feel blessed when the other one's so lost"
Obviously I remembered him, as I continued to make the time to get to know him and stuff, but him? He stopped remembering stuff that mattered to me. I was lost and he...idk how he was feeling in the end. I wish that he could have kept changing along with me, but he somewhere along the line, he stayed put, leaving me to push forward without him.
