That's All
Doc & Merle Watson Lyrics

Just as I thought it was going alright
Despite feeling confident that the relationship was progressing well, a sudden realization dawned on me that things were not as I had hoped.

I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
The relationship has failed to live up to my expectations, and my misplaced assumptions have resulted in disappointment.

It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
This familiar pattern of disillusionment and heartache is discouragingly frequent, but it remains a source of sadness for me.

I could say day, and you'd say night
Despite my attempts to communicate, we can never seem to agree on anything, and our differences are impossible to reconcile.

Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
You try to convince me of your point of view, even when it clashes with my own experiences and understanding of the world.

I could leave but I won't go
Although I recognize that ending the relationship would be the easiest course of action, I can't bring myself to make the necessary break.

Though my heart might tell me so
My emotions are at war with my rational mind, which acknowledges that this is a toxic relationship that I should walk away from.

I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
The relationship has made me emotionally numb, and I am disconnected from my own feelings and needs as a result.

So why does it always seem to be
Despite my misgivings, I can't shake the feeling that we are meant to be together, even though the evidence proves otherwise.

Me looking at you, you looking at me
We are trapped in a cycle of mutual recrimination and blame, and our interactions are defined by conflict.

Turning me on, turning me off
Your unpredictable behavior is both alluring and frustrating, and I am constantly oscillating between attraction and revulsion.

Making me feel like I want too much
You have conditioned me to believe that my needs are unreasonable and excessive, and I second-guess myself at every turn.

Living with you is just putting me through it all of the time
Our cohabitation is exacerbating the tension and conflict between us, and I can never find a moment of peace around you.

Running around, staying out all night
Your infidelity and disregard for my feelings makes me feel like I am constantly playing second fiddle to your other interests and pursuits.

Taking it all instead of taking one bite
You are a glutton for life's pleasures, refusing to exercise restraint in the pursuit of your own gratification at the expense of our relationship.

But I love you
Despite everything, I am still hopelessly and irrevocably in love with you.

More than I wanted to
My love for you is counterintuitive and irrational, and I am powerless to resist the pull of my heart towards you.

There's no point in trying to pretend
I can't deny my feelings for you, even when it would be easier to do so - they are simply too strong to be ignored.

There's been no one who
Despite your many faults, no one has ever captured my heart and imagination quite like you have.

Makes me feel like you do
Our love is intense and all-consuming, and it makes me feel things that I never thought were possible.

Say we'll be together till the end
You promise me forever, and despite my reservations, I am hopeful that we can push through the obstacles that threaten to tear us apart.

Yeah, it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Despite the highs and lows of our relationship, one thing remains constant - our inability to come together and find common ground, and the disappointment that comes with that realization.
