Lyrics
I'm not an angel
I acknowledge that I am not an angel.
But she's a demon
She, however, is like a demon in my life.
She took my heart and soul and left me screamin'
She took my heart and soul, causing me intense distress.
I'm too low energy
I lack the energy to find significance or purpose.
To give it meanin'
My low energy prevents me from giving life meaning.
But when she leaves I'm in my head cause I've been fiendin'
When she departs, my thoughts consume me because I've been craving her presence.
So look me in my eyes just this one time
Request to look into my eyes just once to reveal the truth.
I wanna know if you've been bad for me the whole time
Curiosity about whether she has been detrimental to me all along.
It doesn't comfort me to know I'm on the wrong side
It's unsettling to realize I'm on the wrong side of the situation.
But if you come for me you'll end up on the wrong side
If you confront me, you'll find yourself on the wrong side.
I see the sun in you just like the morning glories
I perceive a positive and bright aspect in you, akin to morning glories.
And I don't wanna stay away it's like a warning story
I don't want to stay away, even though it feels like a cautionary tale.
If I got a little closer would you let me leave
Wondering if getting closer will let me escape.
I still feel you when you're gone it's like you're in the breeze
I still feel your presence even when you're absent, like a breeze.
Breeze
A repetition of the idea of a breeze, emphasizing its significance.
Breath
A reference to breath, possibly symbolizing life and vitality.
Pray for me, patiently waitin' for they to see
Request for patience as others understand and recognize my actions.
Everything that I been doing and making me
Expressing a desire for improvement in everything I do.
Better and better and worse for the better
Acknowledging that progress can have both positive and negative effects.
It's not always up when you're down in the gutter
Life is not always uplifting, especially when faced with challenges.
But that's where the rain goes and rain brings the flowers
Adversity can lead to growth, symbolized by rain bringing flowers.
The darkest of days bring the strongest of powers
The toughest times can bring forth great strength.
You're straight from the future I thought that was ours
Someone special who seemed destined for the future, but that didn't materialize.
But I'm just a place-holdin' proxy you coward.
Admitting to being a temporary stand-in, perhaps feeling inadequate.
Leave me no reason to stay
There's no compelling reason for me to stay in this situation.
I want, but can't get away
Desire to escape, but facing obstacles preventing it.
Feels like I'm runnin' in place
Feeling stagnant or unprogressive, like running in place.
When she comes close to me I feel like she's supposed to be an angel
When she is close, she feels like an angel, despite earlier demon comparisons.
But she's a demon
Reiteration of her dual nature, both angelic and demonic.
She took my heart and soul and left me screamin'
Recalling the emotional turmoil caused by her taking his heart and soul.
I'm too low energy
Reiterating the lack of energy to find meaning.
To give it meanin'
Reaffirming the difficulty of finding significance in life.
But when she leaves I'm in my head cause I've been fiendin'
Continued inner turmoil and craving when she is absent.
So look me in my eyes just this one time
Request to look into the eyes for honesty about her impact.
I wanna know if you've been bad for me the whole time
Questioning if her influence has been negative throughout.
It doesn't comfort me to know I'm on the wrong side
Discomfort in realizing being on the wrong side of the situation.
But if you come for me you'll end up on the wrong side
Warning that if she confronts him, she'll end up on the wrong side.
