Analysis of Explain to me please…
Explain to me please…
Explain to me,
Let know me of why
because I can't discover a purpose
for you to make me cry
Does all God's creatures circle you?
I believe not
you ask for reverence
through every single battle tussled
Are you as unknowing
as you are tenacious
because you use bad language and shout
and awake with contempt
What did I do to you
to generate all this unhappiness?
Your possessiveness devours you
you've doomed your destiny
I have under no circumstances seen him cheat
He has no mistakes,
but are you Mister Picture-perfect
By means of God's holy bless?
For the reason that
I no longer have belief
quarreling about a dumb fork
that's just when you bring into being
You don't contribute, you take
you like to lecture one more
I forgot, you're at all times right
because you're Mister Picture-perfect?
Do you in good conscience believe
you've warranted that tag?
With a subjective view
you bring me dishonor
Every argument you make
Just displays you don't warrant
any “reverence”
You've got more or less nerve
Don't show the pity pass
the marriage is in pieces
and it's your whole doing
you've made your cot
Come back to me in years
after you've finally grown-up
you have no more control
You showed with me no love
I can never open my heart to you
you've not ever been my friend
and I've not ever trusted you
Your annoyance bloodsuckers onto me
making me scorch with weeping
I don't want you take blood suckering self on
To the next victim…
