Lyrics
Verse 1
Opening of the song, setting the tone for self-expression.
Yeah baby, write it out,
Encouraging someone to express themselves in writing.
Write it out on your tongue,
Emphasizing the act of expressing oneself verbally.
Don't blame me, gotta hear,
Not taking responsibility for someone else's words; it must come from them.
It coming out of your mouth, like,
Acknowledging a mistake, admitting fault.
I fucked up, I'm not enough,
Feeling inadequate or having made a significant error.
My god hope it ends like,
Hoping for a resolution despite difficulties.
Oh, ohhh-oh, yeah.
Expressing a mix of emotions.
Pre-Chorus
Transitioning to the pre-chorus, preparing for a change.
I'll be on my way again,
Moving forward independently, leaving something behind.
Don't tell me we're friends if you're not honest,
Seeking honesty in relationships, not settling for fake friendship.
We lost it.
Reflecting on a lost connection or understanding.
Used to think you'd make amends,
Expecting reconciliation, wanting to mend what's broken.
Say that you're not innocent, be honest,
Desiring truthfulness, confronting the other person's guilt.
I want it.
Expressing a strong desire for something, possibly the truth.
Chorus
Entering the chorus, addressing the perceived label of being a "savage."
You say that I'm a savage,
Responding to the accusation of being savage, possibly unjustly.
When I know that you're wrong,
Asserting awareness of the other person's wrongdoing.
You say that we're too different,
Noting differences but emphasizing past love.
But I loved you the most.
Claiming a strong emotional connection in the past.
We used to be magnetic,
Recalling a once powerful magnetic attraction.
It used to be so strong,
Reminiscing about the strength of the relationship.
You say that I'm a savage,
Repeating the accusation of being a "savage."
But now we're on our own,
Accepting separation and acknowledging individual paths.
Now we're on our own.
Reiterating the theme of being on one's own now.
Verse 2
Beginning of the second verse, reflecting on a past relationship.
Yeah baby, we were good,
Recalling positive aspects of the past relationship.
Thought he wasn't your type,
Addressing assumptions about compatibility.
Still hazy, another drink,
Still feeling uncertain, possibly resorting to alcohol to cope.
To wash it out of my mind like,
Using alcohol to numb the memories or emotions.
You fucked up, you're not enough,
Flipping the narrative, suggesting the other person's inadequacy.
My god hope it ends like,
Repeating the hope for a resolution despite difficulties.
Oh, ohhh-oh, yeah.
Ending the verse with mixed emotions and uncertainty.
