Lyrics
To say I tried
To express that effort was made
But I can say it's quite
Can acknowledge the effort, but considers it largely ineffective
A waste of time
Deeming the attempt a waste of time
You could better me
Suggesting someone else could handle the situation better
If I tried
Expressing personal difficulty in improving the situation
I'm a player to your Mind games
Identifying oneself as a participant in psychological manipulation
But I don't want to
Desiring not to engage in these manipulative behaviors
It's so easy to believe it
Recognizing the ease of believing in manipulations
But I don't want to
Expressing a lack of desire to succumb to these manipulations
And I can't leave you
Conveying difficulty in leaving a situation or relationship
But I need too
Acknowledging the necessity of leaving despite difficulties
I hope it haunts you
Wishing for haunting memories to affect the other person
I'm not in love and I know it's tough but
Admitting to not being in love and acknowledging the challenges
But i don't want you
Declaring a lack of desire for the person despite challenges
I thought this was love
Initially believing the situation to be love
She had me strung up
Describing being emotionally affected or controlled
I was so patient
Having patience in the situation
Just what I made out
Describing an interpretation or perception
I was so frustrated I almost lost you
Expressing frustration and almost losing the person
Took back everything I ever bought you
Reclaiming previously gifted items
What did we learn
Raising a rhetorical question about the lessons learned
pictures of you
Referencing visual representations of the person
I let em burn
Choosing to destroy those visual representations
Thought it was love
Reiterating the initial belief in love
I wasn't sure this time I thought you were so perfect (I had to realize you weren't worth it)
Expressing uncertainty about the perfection of the person
I'm a player to your Mind games
Reiterating participation in psychological manipulation
But I don't want to
Reaffirming the desire not to engage in manipulative games
It's so easy to believe it
Recognizing the ease of falling into manipulative traps
But I don't want to
Maintaining the decision not to succumb to manipulations
And I can't leave you
Expressing difficulty in leaving despite the necessity
But I need too
Acknowledging the necessity of leaving despite difficulties
I hope it haunts you
Expressing a desire for haunting memories to affect the other person
I'm not in love and I know it's tough but
Admitting to not being in love and acknowledging the challenges
But i don't want you
Declaring a lack of desire for the person despite challenges
