Lyrics

Try not to think about it

Encouraging not to dwell on a certain topic or issue.

But you remind

Despite trying not to think about it, there is a reminder.

That we are heading in the wrong direction

Acknowledging that the situation is headed in the wrong direction.

You make me sick and tired

Expressing frustration and exhaustion with someone's behavior.

No never learn

Stating that the person never learns from their actions.

You put yourself on top and that just makes me

Observing that the person prioritizes themselves, causing frustration.

Slip and slide and wish my heart away

Describing a feeling of slipping and wishing for an escape from emotional pain.

Come a time when I don't feel like crawling

Anticipating a time when the speaker won't feel like crawling emotionally.

I try to do right until my heart breaks

Committing to doing the right thing despite the inevitable heartbreak.

In need of repair, it won't be you I'm calling

Rejecting the idea of seeking help from the person causing distress.


Try to take me down

Being resilient against attempts to bring the speaker down.

I'll be right up

Promising to rise up again despite challenges.

'Cause you aim too low

Criticizing the low aspirations of the person causing trouble.

And I've had enough

Expressing a sense of having endured enough negativity.

Always been top rated

Claiming to have always been highly regarded or esteemed.

You think you can change it?

Challenging the possibility of the person causing change.

Think that you can change it?

Questioning the potential for change in the troublesome person.

Top top top top rated

Reiterating being top-rated or esteemed.


Now there's no walking round it

Asserting that there's no avoiding the issue at hand.

Your attitude

Commenting on the problematic attitude of the person.

Keep barking at the top but I'm an underdog

Acknowledging being underestimated but determined.

I'm quitting, sick and tired

Expressing a decision to quit due to frustration.

No crown in your empire

Pointing out the absence of a crown in the person's self-proclaimed empire.

DIY pedestals are just what makes me

Noting that self-built pedestals cause the speaker frustration.

Slip and slide and see my color fade

Describing a feeling of sliding and losing vibrancy.

Come a time when I can put no more in

Expecting a time when the speaker can't invest emotionally anymore.

I try to do right until my heart breaks

Committing to doing right until heartbreak but without seeking help.

In need of repair, it won't be you I'm calling

Rejecting the idea of seeking support from the troubling person.


Try to take me down

Resisting attempts to bring the speaker down.

I'll be right up

Promising to rise again despite challenges.

'Cause you aim too low

Criticizing the low aspirations of the person causing trouble.

And I've had enough

Expressing a sense of having endured enough negativity.

Always been top rated

Reiterating being top-rated or esteemed.

You think you can change it?

Challenging the possibility of the person causing change.

Think that you can change it?

Questioning the potential for change in the troublesome person.

Top top top top rated

Reiterating being top-rated or esteemed.


Try to take me down
