Lyrics
It was nice
Expressing that the experience was pleasant.
While it lasted
Acknowledging the temporary nature of the experience.
It was nice to be needed
Finding fulfillment in being needed.
But you took advantage
Indicating that the other person took advantage of the love shared.
Of my love
Emphasizing the depth of love given.
That I grew in your garden
Symbolizing the care and effort invested in the relationship.
I watered you daily
Metaphorically nurturing the relationship on a daily basis.
But your roots were rotten
Revealing a realization that the foundation of the relationship was flawed.
It's kinda funny how it all worked out
Reflecting on the ironic outcome of the situation.
I saw the signs but I was lying to myself
Acknowledging awareness of signs but choosing self-deception.
Something was wrong (something was wrong)
Stating a realization that something was amiss.
When you said to me
Referring to a statement made by the partner.
You must be an angel
Questioning the sincerity of the partner, possibly sarcastically calling them an angel.
You must be an angel
-You must be an angel
-Here to save me
Expressing a desire for salvation or rescue.
On the road on the way to San Diego
Narrating a journey to San Diego and expressing skepticism about the partner's faithfulness.
Telling me you're gonna be faithful
-But I heard the devil loves to wear a halo
-'Cause I'm down on my knees
Conveying a sense of desperation and pain due to the partner's actions.
I'm begging with you, please
-I can't do this anymore
-'Cause I'm not what you need
-You love it when I bleed
-While my heart is on the floor
-You've got holes to fill
Metaphorically addressing the partner's emotional voids and emphasizing self-reliance.
In different parts of you
-And I can't fill you up
-You have to do it to yourself
-Do it to yourself, to yourself, to yourself
-When you said to me
Repeating skepticism about the partner's angelic qualities and the desire for salvation.
You must be an angel
-You must be an angel
-You must be an angel
-Here to save me
Continuing the narrative of the journey, questioning the partner's faithfulness, and referencing the devil with a halo.
On the road on the way to San Diego
-Telling me you're gonna be faithful
-But I heard the devil loves to wear a halo
-'Cause I'm down on my knees
Expressing continued desperation, pleading, and highlighting the partner's enjoyment of pain.
I'm begging with you, please
-I can't do this anymore
-'Cause I'm not what you need
-You love it when I bleed
-While my heart is on the floor
Reiterating the emotional distress with the heart on the floor.
