Lyrics
Prove me wrong
Challenging someone to prove the speaker wrong.
Prove me right
Challenging someone to prove the speaker right.
Say it's all in my mind
Asking the person to deny that the situation is just the speaker's imagination.
Don't tell me, I know what you'll say
Rejecting the anticipation of the other person's response, asserting the speaker's foreknowledge.
Bite my tongue
Refusing to speak impulsively despite the desire to do so.
Cause you won't
Implying the other person won't refrain from speaking their mind.
Admit that you're wrong
Urging the other person to acknowledge their mistake.
Save it, I've heard it before
Rejecting previously heard justifications or excuses.
Build me up, break me down
Requesting to be praised, then torn down.
Turn the tables, back around
Desiring a reversal of the situation.
Say that I don't understand the rules
Alleging misunderstanding of the situation's dynamics.
When you want me to lose
Implying the other person wants the speaker to fail.
You dealt the cards
Attributing responsibility for the current situation to the other person.
And played hearts
Engaging in a game of emotions, particularly regarding love.
To watch me fall apart
Enjoying watching the speaker suffer emotionally.
Don't tell me, don't care what you say
Refusing to listen or care about the other person's words.
Moonlit streets
Setting a scene with a dark, ominous atmosphere.
Hanging doom
Evoking a feeling of impending disaster or fate.
The scent of your perfume
Reminiscing about the other person's presence via their scent.
If you cared, you'd ask me to stay
Expressing the desire for the other person to demonstrate care by asking the speaker to stay.
Build me up, break me down
Repeating the desire for praise and then being torn down.
Turn the tables, back around
Reiterating the desire for a reversal of the situation.
Say that I don't understand the rules
Repeating the claim of misunderstanding the situation's dynamics.
When you want me to lose
Reiterating the belief that the other person desires the speaker's failure.
Cutting my loses to set myself free
Deciding to cut losses for personal liberation.
Watching the smoke untangle me
Observing a situation where the speaker feels freed from entanglements.
Ain't it a shame here watching the streets
Expressing sorrow while witnessing a regretful scene.
Of Paris go up in flames
Metaphorically referring to Paris engulfed in chaos, symbolizing destruction.
Build me up, break me down
Reiterating the desire for praise and then being torn down.
Turn the tables, back around
Reiterating the desire for a reversal of the situation.
Say that I don't understand the rules
Repeating the claim of misunderstanding the situation's dynamics.
When you want me to lose
Reiterating the belief that the other person desires the speaker's failure.
