Save Yourself
Breaking Free from Betrayal: Save Yourself with Matchbook Romance
Lyrics
These words, fall from your mouth,
Expression of hurt caused by words spoken by someone.
and stab me in the back
Feeling betrayed by the words that have hurt deeply.
It should have never come to this
Regret about the situation, realizing it should never have reached this point.
Its too late, for your apologies
Belief that it's too late for apologies, indicating irreversible damage.
They can't bring back all that you've taken from me
Acknowledgment that apologies can't undo the losses suffered.
Stripped of my pride, and left for dead
Feeling stripped of pride and abandoned, possibly in a difficult situation.
This time is the last time I take this abuse
Determination to end the cycle of abuse, expressing resilience.
I've found my place, and this place is far away from you
Discovery of a new, distant place as a refuge from the source of pain.
How can you say, I'm at fault? The one to blame is you
Challenging the accusation of fault, placing blame on the other person.
Stripped of my pride, and left for dead
Reiteration of feeling stripped of pride and abandoned.
I'm so tired of apologizing to myself for you
Expressing fatigue from repeatedly apologizing for the other person's actions.
And what you've done to me
Acknowledging the harm caused by the other person's actions.
And I've tried, to forgive myself for caring about you
Struggling to forgive oneself for caring about the person who caused pain.
There's nothing I can do...
A sense of helplessness, indicating acceptance that nothing can be done.
This time is the last time I take this abuse
Reiteration of determination to end the cycle of abuse.
I've found my place, and this place is far away from you
Reaffirmation of finding a distant place as a refuge.
I'm so tired of apologizing to myself for you
Continued exhaustion from apologizing for the other person's actions.
And what you've done to me
Reiteration of acknowledging the harm caused by the other person.
And I've tried, to forgive myself for caring about you
Continued struggle to forgive oneself for caring about the person who caused pain.
There's nothing I can do...
Acceptance of the inability to change the situation.
