Lyrics
As you walked away from me, I counted every stride
Reflecting on the departure, counting each step taken by the person leaving.
Goddamn it, this happens every time
Expressing frustration that this situation repeats itself regularly.
I looked you in the face, said, "I'm fine"
Claiming to be fine while looking the person in the face.
But goddamn it, would you believe I lied?
Admitting to lying about being fine.
I know it doesn't look like I tried
Acknowledging that the effort put in doesn't appear significant.
'Cause goddamn it, this happens every time
Expressing frustration that the same situation occurs repeatedly.
'Cause goddamn it, this happens every time
Reiterating the frustration of the recurring situation.
I get drunk, I get drunk, I get too fucked up
Admitting to getting drunk and facing internal struggles.
I get stuck in my head or I get stuck up
Getting stuck in thoughts or exhibiting arrogance.
On the things that I had or the people I trust
Focusing on past possessions or trusting people, possibly causing distress.
And the things I won't say to the people I love
Withholding certain feelings from loved ones.
Like, oh my God
Expressing surprise or frustration with the situation.
We've been here far too long
Feeling that the duration of the situation is too long.
You almost broke my heart
Recalling a past event where the heart was almost broken.
You left as I started drinking
Noting the departure occurring during or after drinking.
The fuck was I thinking?
Questioning the rationale behind the actions taken while intoxicated.
As you walked away from me, I counted every stride
Repeating the scene of someone walking away, counting each step.
Goddamn it, this happens every time
Expressing frustration that the same situation repeats itself.
I looked you in the face, said, "I'm fine"
Claiming to be fine while looking the person in the face.
But goddamn it, would you believe I lied?
Admitting to lying about being fine.
I know it doesn't look like I tried
Acknowledging that the effort put in doesn't appear significant.
'Cause goddamn it, this happens every time
Expressing frustration that the same situation occurs repeatedly.
'Cause goddamn it, this happens every time
Reiterating the frustration of the recurring situation.
And I know that you won't
Anticipating that the other person won't change, leading to a decision to leave.
So I'll leave, you'll stay home
Expecting the other person to stay home while leaving oneself.
I can't help it, I must go
Expressing the inability to resist leaving.
It's like, oh my God
Repeating the sentiment of being in a situation for too long.
We've been here far too long
Feeling that the duration of the situation is too long.
You almost broke my heart
Recalling a past event where the heart was almost broken.
You left as I started drinking
Noting the departure occurring during or after drinking.
The fuck was I thinking?
Questioning the rationale behind the actions taken while intoxicated.
As you walked away from me, I counted every stride
Repeating the scene of someone walking away, counting each step.
Like goddamn it, this happens every time
Expressing frustration that the same situation repeats itself.
I looked you in the face, said, "I'm fine"
Claiming to be fine while looking the person in the face.
But goddamn it, would you believe I lied?
Admitting to lying about being fine.
I know it doesn't look like I tried
Acknowledging that the effort put in doesn't appear significant.
'Cause goddamn it, this happens every time
Expressing frustration that the same situation occurs repeatedly.
'Cause goddamn it, this happens every time
Reiterating the frustration of the recurring situation.
