Lyrics

My brain's always buzzing about

Constant mental activity or overthinking is a challenge.

You know I know

A mutual understanding exists between the speaker and someone else.

That can be hard to be around

Being around the speaker might be difficult due to their mental buzzing.

But I think that I'll figure it out

Despite challenges, the speaker is optimistic about figuring things out.

And you don't have to stay

The other person is free to leave, but the speaker hopes they stay.

But if I get my way I'll

The speaker wants to make the other person proud.

Make you proud

Expressing a desire to achieve something worthwhile.

Maybe in the long run

Considering the potential positive outcomes in the long run.

I don't mind they did me

Past experiences of mistreatment are acknowledged.

So wrong 'cause I'm

Despite past wrongs, the speaker is prepared for the future.

Ready for the next time

Anticipating and preparing for future challenges.

There won't be a next time

Expressing hope that there won't be a need for future challenges.

You get convinced you're dying

Feeling convinced of impending failure or demise.

Me I don't care if I do

The speaker is indifferent to personal well-being but willing to improve for someone else.

But I'd work on that

Willingness to work on personal issues for the benefit of the other person.

For you

Commitment to personal growth and improvement for the sake of the relationship.

So it looks like I'm taking

Choosing a longer route to emotional healing and letting go of things.

The long way round

Exploring unconventional paths to emotional resolution.

To letting things go

Acknowledging the difficulty of letting go.

I miss the control but

Missing the sense of control but willing to let go for personal growth.

All things considered

Considering the situation, the speaker is uncertain if they want to know more.

I don't think I want to know

A realization that it's too late to avoid a trap, and blame is placed on the speaker.

Too late I took the bait

The speaker took the bait and accepted blame.

And blamed me

Blaming oneself did not lead to self-preservation.

But that never made me

External influences didn't motivate the speaker to save themselves.

Want to save me

The speaker is not motivated to save themselves despite the blaming.

So I'm holding out my hopes

Maintaining hope and not giving up on personal aspirations.

Giving up all my ghosts

Letting go of past experiences and fears.

Maybe in the long run

Similar to line 9, reflecting on past mistreatment but still prepared for the future.

I don't mind they did me

Reiterating resilience despite past wrongs.

So wrong 'cause I'm

Preparedness for future challenges despite past mistreatment.

Ready for the next time

Expressing hope that future challenges won't arise.

There won't be a next time

Reiteration of the hope that there won't be a next time for challenges.

Maybe in the short term

Considering short-term acceptance despite the inability to learn.

I can live although I can't learn

Acceptance of the current situation without the ability to gain insights.

That he's never going to give me

An acknowledgment that someone will never give a valid reason for forgiveness.

A good reason to forgive him

Expressing difficulty in forgiving due to the lack of a convincing reason.

You always swear you're dying

Affirming a lack of concern for one's well-being despite perceived imminent death.

Me I never cared if I do

Indifference to personal well-being regardless of the circumstances.

But I'm working on that

Working on personal issues for the benefit of the other person.

For, for you

Commitment to personal growth for the sake of the relationship.

For you

Reiterating the commitment to personal growth for the benefit of the other person.
