Shy Love Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cornelia Jakobs]
You crave your space, then ask for love
And when I held you you caught me off
I scream your name, but you won't talk
I let you hold my heart for a minute
And I pray that this time you'll get it all
Your looking with your eyes shut
Your vision's gone but I'm not
What are you so afraid of?
Stone face I don't give, speak up
Usually I give in easy
But this time I don't wanna please you
So don't you pull me back to sleep, yeah

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up

[Verse 2: Cornelia Jakobs]
With stains of hope and party lines
You made me miss you so that I'll stay around
And a fool as I still make time
To let you hold my heart for a minute
And I pray that this time you'll get it all
Your looking with your eyes shut
Your vision's gone but I'm not
What are you so afraid of?
Stone face I don't give, speak up
Usually I give in easy
But this time I don't wanna please you
So don't you pull me back to sleep, yeah

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up

[Bridge: Cornelia Jakobs]
Good talk, bad talk, go bittersweet
I'll take it all, just talk to me
Good talk, bad talk, go bittersweet
Talk to me
If there's a way to make you speak
Just let me know or let me be
If this is all you want from me
Talk to me

[Chorus: Cornelia Jakobs]
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up
Shy love
Speak up, speak up

Lyric Snapshot

"Shy Love" by Cornelia Jakobs explores the frustrations and emotional turmoil of a relationship where communication is stifled by fear or hesitation. The speaker longs for open dialogue and deeper connection but is met with emotional distance, symbolized by phrases like "your vision's gone but I'm not" and "you're looking with your eyes shut." The theme revolves around the push-pull dynamics of love, with the speaker often giving in but now standing firm, demanding clarity and honesty. The emotional tone is a mix of yearning, frustration, and resolve, as the speaker insists on breaking through the "shy love" and calls for vulnerability. The repeated plea to "speak up" reflects a desire for the other person to stop hiding behind their emotional walls. Imagery of holding the heart for a moment highlights fleeting vulnerability, while the “stone face” symbolizes emotional repression. This song captures the universal struggle of seeking emotional transparency in relationships and the pain of loving someone who’s emotionally unavailable.
