Drag Me Under
Breaking Free: A Journey Beyond Heart Games
Lyrics
You don't play by the rules
You don't conform to established rules or norms.
Color outside of the lines and I think I'm learning to
You express yourself in unconventional ways, and the speaker is adapting to this behavior.
You had a spell over me, playing games with my heart
You had a captivating influence over me, playing emotional games.
But you cheat
You engage in deceitful actions.
I used to keep your secrets, told myself that I believe them
I used to keep your secrets, convincing myself to believe them.
You said to follow you down to the water
You instructed me to follow you to a challenging situation.
Dive right in and let you drag me under
To immerse myself and let you lead me into difficulties.
When you say you need me then I come a running but
When you express a need for me, I used to respond eagerly, but...
No More, No More
No more; the speaker is putting an end to this pattern.
You said to follow you down to the water
Reiteration of the instruction to follow to a challenging situation.
Dive right in and let you drag me under
Repetition of the idea of immersion and being led into difficulties.
When you say you need me then I come a running but
Repetition of the previous response to the expressed need.
No More, No More
Continued insistence on ending the previous pattern of behavior.
You can't hurt me
The speaker claims resilience against emotional harm.
Go on and tell me you mean it
You are encouraged to express sincerity, but the speaker doubts and won't believe it.
But I won't believe it
The speaker has heard similar assurances before and remains skeptical.
I've heard it all before, heard it all before
Reiteration of having heard these assurances previously.
