Lyrics
Don't count on me this way
Expressing a lack of reliability or dependency in a certain way.
Don't you remember the promises we've made
Recalling commitments or assurances made in the past.
Gave you things to ease your pain
Providing support, possibly material or emotional, to alleviate suffering.
So don't count on me this way
Reiterating the unreliability or inability to be counted on in a specific manner.
No one loves you like I do
Claiming an unparalleled depth of love towards the subject.
No one hurts you like I do
Acknowledging the infliction of pain, highlighting a complex relationship.
Gave you drugs to ease your pain
Offering substances as a coping mechanism, potentially addressing emotional distress.
And help you remember the promises we've made
Linking the aid provided to remembering past commitments.
I know you, babe
Asserting familiarity with the person addressed.
I know what's best for you
Claiming knowledge of what is in the best interest of the addressed person.
Baby, if you're depressed
Addressing potential emotional struggles, showing concern.
Can't leave it up to you
Indicating a reluctance to leave decisions related to the mentioned condition solely to the person affected.
Don't walk out on me this way
Discouraging a specific way of ending or leaving a relationship.
Tell me you don't really mean the things you say
Requesting clarification or denial of hurtful statements made.
You drift farther every day
Noticing a gradual emotional distance or detachment.
You drift right out to insane
Suggesting a drift towards a state of insanity or extreme emotional turmoil.
I know you, babe
Repeating familiarity with the addressed person.
I know what's best for you
Reasserting knowledge of what is beneficial for the person.
Baby, if you're depressed
Revisiting concerns about potential depression in the addressed person.
Can't leave it up to you (can't leave it up to you, baby)
Reiterating the reluctance to entrust decisions solely to the affected person.
I know you, babe (I know you, babe)
Repeating familiarity, possibly for emphasis.
I know what's best for you
Reiterating the claim of knowing what is best for the addressed person.
Baby, if you're depressed (if you're depressed)
Revisiting concerns about potential depression, possibly with added emphasis.
Can't leave it up to you
Final repetition of the reluctance to leave decisions solely to the affected person.
