Lyrics
How can I defy the certainty
Expressing difficulty in challenging the inevitability
Of facing the unknown
Confronting uncertainties about the future
I can’t just avoid entirely
Unable to completely avoid the consequences
Reaping what I sow
Facing the results of one's actions
No, I don’t like the games that I play anymore
Disliking one's own actions and behavior
No, I don’t like these feelings that I can’t ignore
Unpleasant emotions that cannot be disregarded
How could I let you know
Expressing difficulty in communicating personal struggles
I’ve been so miserable, oh
Acknowledging a period of intense unhappiness
I’d hold it up to show
Willing to reveal and share personal difficulties
It’s oh so typical, woah
Describing the troubles as common or expected
How could I let you know
Reiterating a sense of misery
I’ve been so miserable, oh
Emphasizing ongoing emotional distress
I won’t let go
Commitment to holding on despite challenges
This pain’s not all that’s left of me
Asserting that pain is not the entirety of one's existence
Will I be another casualty
Concern about becoming a victim of a misguided conflict
Of this misguided war
Referencing struggles amid tragic circumstances
Barely passing by the tragedies
Surviving amidst personal tragedies
And I feel it in my core
Feeling the impact deeply at a fundamental level
No, I don’t like the games that I play anymore
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with personal actions
No, I don’t like these feelings that I can’t ignore
Continued discomfort with unresolved emotions
How could I let you know
Expressing difficulty in communicating personal struggles (repeated)
I’ve been so miserable, oh
Acknowledging a period of intense unhappiness (repeated)
I’d hold it up to show
Willing to reveal and share personal difficulties (repeated)
It’s oh so typical, woah
Describing the troubles as common or expected (repeated)
How could I let you know
Reiterating a sense of misery (repeated)
I’ve been so miserable, oh
Emphasizing ongoing emotional distress (repeated)
I won’t let go
Commitment to holding on despite challenges (repeated)
This pain’s not all that’s left of me
Asserting that pain is not the entirety of one's existence (repeated)
Oh, oh - No
Expressing negation or refusal
How could I let you know
Expressing difficulty in communicating personal struggles (repeated)
I’ve been so miserable, oh
Acknowledging a period of intense unhappiness (repeated)
I’d hold it up to show
Willing to reveal and share personal difficulties (repeated)
It’s oh so typical, woah
Describing the troubles as common or expected (repeated)
How could I let you know (How could I? How could I?)
Reiterating a sense of misery (repeated)
I’ve been so miserable, oh
Emphasizing ongoing emotional distress (repeated)
I won’t let go
Commitment to holding on despite challenges (repeated)
This pain’s not all that’s left of me
Asserting that pain is not the entirety of one's existence (repeated)
