Save Yourself
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Save Yourself by Milo Greene
Lyrics
Just when I begin to like you
Expressing the beginning of a positive feeling towards someone.
On my own
Emphasizing individuality and self-reliance.
On the doubt you return with a new tone
Expressing skepticism about the sincerity of the person returning with a changed attitude.
You tell me you changed
The person claims to have undergone a change.
You have come
Reiteration of the person's arrival after claiming a positive change.
You tell me you changed
Repetition of the claim of personal transformation.
On the attack
Indication of a confrontational or aggressive demeanor.
But I don't think I'm ready for
Expressing hesitation or reluctance to engage in the situation again.
This again
Expressing a lack of readiness to face a similar situation.
You got to save yourself
Encouraging the person to take responsibility for their own well-being.
From this
Reiteration of the need for self-preservation.
You got to save yourself
Emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility for one's own well-being.
From this
Reiteration of the importance of self-preservation.
You're impossible to please
Describing the person as challenging or difficult to satisfy.
It's the chase around for me
Suggesting that the pursuit or effort is demanding.
You got to save yourself
Repeating the call for self-preservation.
Save yourself
Reiteration of the importance of saving oneself.
Save yourself, save
Continuation of the emphasis on self-preservation.
This is just another game you will play
Characterizing the situation as a game played by the person.
This is just another one for the record book
Indicating that the situation is a common occurrence for the person.
Well I'm not
Expressing a refusal to conform to the person's expectations.
What do you say now?
Seeking clarification or response from the person.
Never really knew before how much you wanted me
Realization of the person's previous desire or need for the speaker.
It won't be the same
Anticipation that the situation will not be as it once was.
I don't think I'm ready for this again
Reiterating unreadiness to face a similar situation.
I need you to know now
Expressing the speaker's role in self-improvement.
I'm the one trying to pull myself together
Clarifying the seriousness of the situation and the speaker's effort to cope.
This isn't a joke
Asserting the gravity of the situation, dispelling any notion of humor.
I really want you to know that
Reiterating the desire for the person to understand the speaker's feelings.
