He's saying that the love between the two of them is ever present and will always be there no matter what. "The love is here and here to stay so lay your head on me" He will assure her that he will not revert and rebuild their relationship so their trust will be restored and she can trust him once again. He promises to erase the pain and make her forget the pain that he caused her even though it will take a long time for her to forget. I'll love you like you've never been afraid, I'll wait"Īlex then comes in saying that he will and still loves Sierra like the old times. I'll love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait Forgiving is easy, but forgetting is harder as it becomes an experience, a memory stuck in your brain. She is able to let what has been done slide past but forgetting about the incident is near impossible and difficult with the emotional trauma faced. "I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight" She's will hold back her affections until she is 100% sure that Alex will not revert. It shows the insecurity and the inability to trust Alex after what he has done. She is afraid of rejection, afraid that Alex will revert back to the old ways or his mistake despite saying that he wouldn't. "I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind"
Sierra puts on a strong facade on the outside, pretending that everything is going well, going smooth and that she's happy but the truth is that she is tied down by her emotions that are causing her to be like a prisoner, submitting to the negative thoughts that are sucking her in deeper into depression. "Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside" Or it could also mean that she needs more time to let whatever incident sink in as she is still in shock. She is still not ready for Alex and needs more time to recover and regain herself. It's like building a brick wall but every time it's almost done, it crumbles back down again. She desperately wants to be her usual self but with the emotional scars within her that is stopping her recovery every single time. She's trying to regain her old self, trying to put everything back together in order to slowly try and move on and lead a normal life. "I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece" It's almost as if the memory doesn't want her to forget it and keeps popping out to haunt her. Sierra still has that image, that memory that imprints in her mind, that is constantly recurring and taunting her, causing her to be scared of it.
Yet, they feel that the other doesn't know the feelings one is experiencing and don't want these feelings to be getting in the way of their relationship.īecause Sierra doesn't want to strain the relationship further, she waits until Alex is asleep before breaking down and succumbing to her true feelings because of whatever that is causing those feelings while she puts up a front when Alex is awake
#Little do you know album how to#
This phrase repeats itself multiple times in this song, it's like they want the other person to know how they are feeling but they are afraid or they don't know how to put it across. I was going through a hard time and really wanted a song that expressed my feelings as in this song but I couldn't find any until I stumbled upon this! My InterpretationThis song really captured what I was looking for as I had written a song with the same meaning behind by using "it's not like you ever knew" but "little do you know" the phrase captures the meaning so simply and effective. I promise you don't have to be afraid, I'll wait I love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait (I'll wait) I'll wait (I'll wait), I'll wait (I'll wait) I love you like I've never been afraid, just wait I love you like I've never felt the pain, just wait I'm trying to make it better piece by piece I know you're hurt while I'm sound asleep I promise, you don't have to be afraid, I'll wait I love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait I'm ready to forgive you, but forgetting is a harder fight Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole insideįor the fear that you might change your mind I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece
