Lyrics
How can I sedate myself
Expressing a desire to numb emotional pain or distress
Cuz I don't like the way I've felt
Discomfort with personal emotions experienced
Loving you is so bad for my health
Describing the detrimental effect of loving someone on one's well-being
But life without FEELS LIKE HELL
Life without the person feels extremely unpleasant
Was it all a waste of time
Questioning the value of past experiences with the person
I never saw the warning signs
Not recognizing or acknowledging warning signs in the relationship
Now we're just a picture on a shelf
Relationship reduced to a mere memory on display
But life without you FEELS LIKE HELL
Life without the person is excruciatingly painful
FEELS LIKE HELL
Reiteration of how dreadful it feels
I hit you up a month ago cuz there were things i thought that I could fix
Attempting to reconcile by addressing issues
I sat on the phone, spilled my heart at the tone
Sharing emotions but receiving no positive response
But the operator told me it was better like this
Implying it's better to maintain distance
I took all of the feelings I felt
Compartmentalizing emotions in hopes of change
Through 'em all inside a wishing well
Putting emotions into a symbolic wishing well, seeking change
I waited for a change, but my life stayed the same
Frustration at the lack of improvement despite efforts
Superstition never really helps
Belief in superstitions as futile remedies
I'm getting used to everything you put me through
Adapting to mistreatment or difficulties caused by the person
Wish I could tell you everything I wanna say
Desire to express unspoken feelings
How can I sedate myself
Seeking relief from emotional distress
Cuz I don't like the way I've felt
Discomfort with one's emotional state
Loving you is so bad for my health
Reiterating the negative impact of loving the person
But life without FEELS LIKE HELL
Life without the person feels intolerable
Was it all a waste of time
Questioning the value of time spent in the relationship
I never saw the warning signs
Failure to recognize signs indicating problems in the relationship
Now we're just a picture on a shelf
Reduced to being a memory with no current presence
But life without you FEELS LIKE HELL
Life without the person is agonizing
FEELS LIKE HELL
Reiterating the extreme unpleasantness
I tried to learn to love myself
Effort to improve self-love and acceptance
But there are things that I've still gotta fix
Recognizing personal flaws that need addressing
Like wishing you well when you put me through hell
Desire to wish well despite the suffering caused
But I've been thinking anything is better than this
Contemplating that any change would be better than the current situation
I put the blame in the wrong place
Wrongly attributing blame, now finding it easier to hide true feelings
Now it's easier to save face
Choosing to protect one's image by misplacing responsibility
Running laps still in last place
Continuing to struggle despite efforts, feeling stuck
I'm only telling the truth cuz
Speaking honestly about the situation
I'm getting used to everything you put me through
Adapting to the mistreatment or difficulties caused by the person
Wish I could tell you everything I wanna say
Desire to express unspoken feelings despite challenges
How can I sedate myself
Seeking relief from emotional distress once again
Cuz I don't like the way I've felt
Discomfort with personal emotions
Loving you is so bad for my health
Highlighting the negative impact of loving the person
But life without FEELS LIKE HELL
Life without the person feels unbearable
Was it all a waste of time
Questioning the value of time invested in the relationship
I never saw the warning signs
Failure to notice warning signs, contributing to the breakup
Now we're just a picture on a shelf
Reduced to being a memory with no current presence
But life without you FEELS LIKE HELL
Life without the person is torturous
FEELS LIKE HELL
Reiterating the extreme unpleasantness
