NERVE
Jordan Rakei Lyrics

Once I bottled the canvas to my lover's heart
I tried to express my love in a creative way but failed to deliver it properly.

But the stow was too full, and that envelope had a letter
My attempt to express love was hindered by external factors.

In that scarcely room
Referring to a specific location where events took place.

Back in silence is when it all began falling apart
The relationship started deteriorating when there was no communication.

I was always a clumsy speaker, and we couldn't find one another
Lack of ability to communicate effectively led to misunderstandings.

Mark my words, I say I'm guilty of no poetry
I am not trying to be poetic or insincere in my words.

I was working, I confess, see the courage in her eyes
I was trying to make things right and saw hope in her response.

There were words of disagreement
We had opposing views on certain aspects of our relationship.

But we talked to find the answers, in a mutual disposition
We communicated openly and tried to find solutions together.

How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself
I am struggling with my own self-love, and finding it difficult to love someone else.

How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself, self
Repeating the same question to emphasize the struggle within.

Shout at me and there are traits of insecurity
I am sensitive and easily feel insecure when criticized or yelled at.

See the man had stole her fire, so it's her who put the flame out
Someone else took away her passion and motivation, and she lost interest in the relationship.

Courted dress for the occasion, yet not filled with glee
She dressed up for a special occasion, but there was no joy or excitement within her.

His hands reaching for the curtain, she was quick to put the light out
He tried to be intimate, but she rejected his advances.
