Lyrics
Don't know why
Expressing uncertainty or lack of understanding about a situation or emotions.
It was just like I knew you, just like I knew you
Feeling a sense of familiarity or recognition with the person being addressed.
Oh, when you took me in, was the happiest I've been
Highlighting a moment of happiness when the person took the speaker in.
Too blind to see
Acknowledging a lack of awareness or insight into the negative actions directed at the speaker.
What you did to me, what you did to me
Reflecting on the negative impact of undisclosed actions on the speaker.
All the secrets you hid, you know what you did
Calling attention to hidden secrets and the responsibility of the person for their actions.
You could see that I was hurt
Noting the visible signs of the speaker's emotional pain.
See that I was hurt
Reiteration of the speaker's emotional distress.
So, spare me
Requesting to be spared from further emotional pain.
Spare me from the tears you call your own
Asking to be spared from the tears that the person sheds.
Spare me from your tears
Requesting to be spared from witnessing the person's emotional distress.
You know you brought them on yourself
Attributing the person's tears to their own actions and choices.
And you put me on the shelf
Expressing a sense of being set aside or neglected.
Don't act like you mean it, don't say you believe it
Advising the person not to pretend or claim sincerity.
You're the scars I can't repair
Describing the lasting emotional wounds caused by the person.
They're buried within me, buried within me
Highlighting the deep-seated nature of emotional scars within the speaker.
Oh, I can't let you go, no, I can't let you go
Expressing difficulty in letting go of the person despite the pain.
You could see that I was hurt
Reiterating the visible signs of the speaker's emotional pain.
See that I was hurt
Reiteration of the speaker's emotional distress.
So, spare me
Requesting to be spared from further emotional pain.
Spare me from the tears you call your own
Asking to be spared from the tears that the person sheds.
Spare me from your tears
Requesting to be spared from witnessing the person's emotional distress.
You know you brought them on yourself
Attributing the person's tears to their own actions and choices.
And you put me on the shelf
Expressing a sense of being set aside or neglected.
Don't act like you mean it, don't say you believe it
Advising the person not to pretend or claim sincerity.
spare me
Repetition of the request to be spared from emotional pain.
Spare me from the tears you call your own
Repetition of the request to be spared from the person's tears.
Spare me from your tears
Repetition of the request to be spared from witnessing emotional distress.
You know you brought them on yourself
Repetition of attributing the person's tears to their own actions and choices.
And you put me on the shelf
Repetition of expressing a sense of being set aside or neglected.
Don't act like you mean it, don't say you believe it
Repetition of advising the person not to pretend or claim sincerity.
