Lyrics
In broken picture frames, the photographs remain
In damaged picture frames, memories endure despite the brokenness.
A woman and a figure, I don't recognize the face
A woman and a figure are in the photos, but the identity of the figure is unclear.
His smile appears unbroken, but today you'll never know
The person in the picture seems happy, but today that true emotion remains unknown.
The consequence that comes from hating who you love
The repercussions of despising someone you love are profound and painful.
No, don't try to save me
An adamant refusal to be rescued, a plea to let the individual navigate their challenges independently.
Wait for me to save myself
An insistence on waiting for self-salvation rather than relying on others.
I say "You don't know her like I do
The speaker claims others don't understand the woman as intimately as they do, emphasizing her different persona at home.
She's different when we're home"
Despite the speaker's portrayal, emotional wounds persist, and physical healing doesn't erase the pain.
But bruises only heal in flesh, the hurt is never gone
An admonition to mind one's own business, acknowledging the necessity to leave, but the fear instilled remains.
You should mind your own, I know I've got to go
An acknowledgment of the speaker's need to depart, possibly from a toxic situation.
But the fear she built inside my head
The fear instilled by the woman now resides deeply within the speaker's thoughts.
Now calls my heart its home
The fear has taken residence in the speaker's heart.
No, don't try to save me
A repeated refusal for rescue, emphasizing self-reliance.
Wait for me to save myself
Reiterating the plea to wait for self-salvation rather than intervention.
Don't try to save me
Continued insistence not to be saved by others.
Wait for me to save myself
Reaffirmation of the desire for self-rescue.
But when
An unspecified situation where external assistance may be considered.
Don't try to save me
Repetition of the plea not to be saved by others.
Wait for me to save myself
Reiteration of the preference for self-rescue.
Don't try to save me
Continued emphasis on rejecting external assistance.
Wait for me to save myself
Reiterating the expectation to independently overcome challenges.
