Wanda Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'
M standilng in the middle of a bridge that i must burn.
This side or the other, i don'
T know which way to turn. there'
S someone that i'
M tied to, there'
S another i love so,
It'
S a hurting situation, it'
S a game no one can win.
My mind is going crazy, but my conscious won'
T give in.
There'
S someone i am tied to, and there'
S another i love so.
How can i untie the ribbon without tearing up the bow.
Now someone who has my promise, and i know how she (
He) needs me.
And there'
S another i'
D be holding, if only i were free.
But a promise is a promise, and that'
S the only thing i know.
So how can i untie the ribbon,
Without tearing up the bow. music
Yes there'
S someone who has my promise.
And i know that she (he) needs me.
There'
S another i'
D be holding, if only i were free.
Still a promise is a promise, that'
S the only thing i know.
How can i untie the ribbon without tearing up the bow.
How can i untie the ribbon without tearing
up the bow? These lyrics speak to the struggle of being torn between two loves - one that the singer is committed to but may not be passionate about, and another that they are deeply in love with but cannot pursue due to prior promises made. The metaphor of an untied ribbon and a torn bow represent the complexity of this situation. It is easy to simply cut the ribbon and be with the one they love, but doing so would also damage the current commitment they have. The line "My mind is going crazy, but my conscious won't give in" shows the inner turmoil the singer is experiencing.
The theme of this song is relatable to anyone who has ever been torn between two loves or commitments. It highlights the ethical challenge of choosing between what one wants and what one has promised. The song has a sad tone that is reflected in the piano melody, emphasizing the pain that comes with having to make difficult choices. It is a powerful expression of the complexity and pain of love and relationships.

Well ,There's a someone that I attempt to
And There' s another that have my soul
I can't not untie the ribbon without tearing up the both
It's a horning situation It's a game noone can win
My mind is going crayz but my calm just won't giving
Well ,Theres a someone had a tattoo
And Theres another that I must saw
I can't not untie the ribbon without tearing up the both
Well, There is one who has my promise
And I know that he needs me
There is another I'be holding , If only I were free
But promise is a promise that's the only thing I know
I can't not untie the ribbon without tearing up the both
Well, There is one who has my promise
And I know that he needs me
There is another I'be holding , If only I were free
But promise is a promise that's the only thing I know
