5/16/2023 0 Comments Name on a matchbook lyrics![]() ![]() The girl is pretty insecure, questioning her worth and goodness. ![]() General CommentSo this was my interpretation of it. Love is very very tough but, it is also extremely powerful. I look at it this way, people struggle in relationships because we have to fight our own selfishness. this may not be the intended interpretation of the writer/singer but it is what i took from it, as the song expresses much passion and many emotions. Still, he doesn't want to lose her because he realizes she does truly love him he's just found it hard to make the changes he needs to make and expresses that not rushing things could benefit them both. He takes advantage of her love, pushing her around and away, because it is the first time someone loved him enough to take it. He realizes this but expresses that he has other things fighting him, including his own lack of identity, sense of not being truly loved and understood (before her )that keeps him from being the man that he should be (that he truly knows is right) but takes the easy, selfish way out and continues to push her around (not addressing her needs)just focusing on his own struggles and taking anything she confronts him with as further attacks on him. The only lines from the girl, of course, are the two lines beginning, "she said." I think she feels unappreciated and doesn't get the involvement and honesty(love)she expects in the relationship. General CommentTo me the lyrics make most since this way: Basically it's an up and down relationship where the guy is so caught up in his own personal issues and feelings he finds it hard to give his girl and their relationship their needed attention and resents her for wanting more of him and, thus, tries to push her away. Yeah, well I will, I will, I will, I will, yeah I wanna take you for granted, yeah, yeah, yeah Just wait a minute, well it kinda fell apart 'Cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged You couldn't stand to be near me when my face don't seem to wanna shine Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt yaĪnd I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me She said, I don't know why you ever would lie to me No not here, not while I still need you around I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving inĪnd I don't know if I've ever been really lovedīy a hand that's touched me, and I feel like something's gonna give She said, I don't know if I've ever been good enough
