Lyrics

My oh my

Expressing surprise or dismay ("My oh my").

the state of us

Reflecting on the current state of a relationship.

wasted to the bone

Feeling depleted and exhausted to the core.

and the simple truth

Acknowledging a straightforward reality.

of the matter is

Highlighting a simple and undeniable fact.

just a little close to home

Indicating that the truth hits close to home.


oh she brings me only sorrow

Describing the emotional impact of a person (she) causing sorrow.

and it's true

Affirming the truth of the sorrowful emotions.

we've seen better days

Recalling better times in the past.

there'll be hell to pay

Anticipating negative consequences or difficulties ahead.

for this tomorrow

Expecting repercussions for the current situation in the future.

but I'll stay awhile

Expressing a willingness to endure the sorrow for a while.

if it's all the same

Stating a condition for staying despite the sorrow.


tender hooks

Describing a vulnerable state of being attached or dependent.

that I'm hanging on

Emphasizing a prolonged and patient wait.

waiting for so long

Waiting for something eagerly and with great anticipation.

at the water's edge

Being at a critical point or decision-making moment.

and it's tempting me

Feeling enticed or lured by something.

to drift off out of here

Contemplating leaving the current situation.


oh she brings me only sorrow

Reiterating the emotional impact of the person causing sorrow.

and it's true

Affirming the truth of experiencing better days before.

we've seen better days

Expecting negative consequences or difficulties ahead (repeated).

there'll be hell to pay

Anticipating repercussions for the current situation in the future (repeated).

for this tomorrow

Expecting consequences for the sorrowful situation tomorrow.

but I'll stay awhile

Expressing a willingness to endure the sorrow for a while (repeated).

if it's all the same

Stating a condition for staying despite the sorrow (repeated).


oh she brings me only sorrow

Reiterating the emotional impact of the person causing sorrow (repeated).

but I'll stay awhile

Expressing a continued willingness to endure the sorrow.

if it's all the same

Stating a condition for staying despite the sorrow (repeated).


like a moth drawn to the flames

Comparing attraction to danger or destructive forces.

I can feel it in my veins

Feeling a strong and irresistible pull towards something.

I'm unsteady on my legs...

Experiencing instability or uncertainty in one's stance or decisions.
