Lyrics
Reserved all resentment to be nice
Expressing the act of holding back negative feelings to be kind
Swallowed myself in memories misplaced
Feeling lost in memories that are not in their proper place
My self-worth with someone who can't change
Reflecting on self-worth being connected to someone who cannot change
Abrasive I could be but I won't
Acknowledging the potential for being abrasive but choosing not to be
Don't wanna be vengeful, be a burden but if I could
Expressing a desire not to be vengeful or burdensome, but acknowledging the difficulty
I'd take back what I gave you
Expressing a wish to undo what was given to the other person
Complimentary wardrobe upgrade
Highlighting positive aspects of the relationship, such as wardrobe upgrades and shared experiences
All the handmade gifts and dinner dates
Recalling handmade gifts and dinner dates as part of the relationship
Where you wrote your love songs about me
Referencing moments where love songs were written about the speaker
Where you stored this darkness you could not say
Noting the existence of a hidden darkness that the partner could not express
Settling for another night and
Accepting settling for another night despite internal struggles
While my mental health is slowly melting
Describing a gradual decline in mental health
While you tell me I'm gonna be okay
Receiving reassurance that everything will be okay, despite not seeing it
You never show me, constantly stay the same
Expressing frustration that the partner remains unchanged and does not demonstrate care
Hope you take care of yourself
Repeatedly expressing a hope for the partner's well-being and self-care
Hope you take care of yourself
-I hope you take care of yourself
-I hope I let go of my grudging ways
Expressing a desire to let go of lingering resentment
I hope you hold someone and you're calling my name
Wishing that the partner finds comfort in someone else but acknowledging a yearning presence
I hope your clothes still have my gardenia scent
Hoping that the partner's belongings still carry the scent of the speaker
I hope we'll sleep soundly knowing there's no room to mend
Expressing a wish for both parties to find peace, acknowledging a lack of room for reconciliation
Hope you take care of yourself, ooh
Reiterating the hope for the partner's well-being and independence, acknowledging a step back
Hope you take care of yourself
-Hope you take care without my help
