Lyrics
I want somewhere to go where no one knows my name
Desire for anonymity, seeking a place where personal identity isn't recognized
I can get away from you, but not my own brain
Escaping from someone but unable to escape personal thoughts or emotions
You wanted all of me, for only parts of you
Describing an unequal relationship where one demanded more than they were willing to give
And only called me difficult when I told you no
Accusation of labeling as difficult when refusing unreasonable demands
Should I set myself on fire just to keep the others warm
Questioning the extreme sacrifice for the benefit of others
One day you'll see that I was gold, your shelter from the storm
Asserting personal value despite being underappreciated
You've done wrong
Statement of wrongdoing by the other person
Is it that important to be right
Questioning the significance of always being right
You've done wrong
Reiteration of the other's wrongdoing
I hope you can sleep at night
Expressing a wish for the other to feel remorse
You've done wrong, you've done wrong
Repetition of the other's fault
You only loved the way I made you feel about you
Highlighting selfish affection, solely based on self-gratification
Don't you ever mistake my glazed blue eyes
Warning against misinterpretation of apparent compliance
For going along with your same old lies
Refusal to accept habitual deceit
Dusty keys and the empty pleas
Metaphorical references to neglect and insincere requests
You'll always end up on your knees
Suggesting inevitable consequences for manipulative actions
I hope your highs outweigh my lows
Hoping the other person's positive experiences outweigh the speaker's negatives
You know I always know
Asserting awareness of the other's intentions or behaviors
You're the hero or the victim
Presenting the other as a protagonist or victim, avoiding the role of the antagonist
But never the villain
Denying being seen as the antagonist in the situation
You've done wrong
Reiterating the other's wrongdoing
Is it that important to be right
Questioning the priority of being right
You've done wrong
Reiteration of the wish for the other to feel guilt
I hope you can sleep at night
Expressing a desire for the other to confront their actions internally
You've done wrong, you've done wrong
Repetition of the other's fault
You only loved the way I made you feel about you
Highlighting self-centered affection, solely focused on the other's self-image
I'm not a toy that you can play with
Refusal to be treated as an object for amusement and disposal
And they just throw away
Rejecting being discarded after use
I won't wait for you at arms length
Refusal to wait around for the other's convenience
For your rainy day
Not willing to be a safety net for the other's troubled times
If I look you in the eye
Fear of being overwhelmed emotionally when facing the other
I am scared that I will drown
Expressing the fear of being emotionally submerged in the situation
We know that there are words unspoken
Acknowledgment of unexpressed thoughts or feelings
I hate to let you down
Regret over disappointing the other
You've done wrong
Reiterating the other's wrongdoing
Is it that important to be right
Questioning the importance placed on always being right
You've done wrong
Expressing a desire for the other to feel internal conflict
I hope you can sleep at night
Wishing for the other to confront their actions internally
You've done wrong, you've done wrong
Repetition of the other's fault
You only loved the way I made you feel about you
Highlighting self-centered affection, solely focused on the other's self-image
You've done wrong
Reiteration of the other's wrongdoing
Is it that important to be right
Questioning the significance of always being right
You've done wrong
Reiteration of the wish for the other to feel remorse
I hope you can sleep at night
Expressing a desire for the other to confront their actions internally
You've done wrong, you've done wrong
Repetition of the other's fault
You only loved the way I made you feel about you
Highlighting self-centered affection, solely focused on the other's
