Lyrics
I swear you always play these games
The person being addressed consistently engages in manipulative behavior or mind games.
The games you’d sweared you’d always win
Despite assurances of winning these games, the outcome is uncertain this time.
But this time it’s different
There's a sense of a significant change or shift in the situation.
I’m done playing the witness
The singer refuses to be a passive observer to these games any longer.
No I better not forgive you
Choosing not to forgive the person for their actions.
Yeah I’m better off to let you go
Deciding that letting go of this person is the best choice.
You know this heart draws a cold line
The singer's heart draws a firm boundary, implying emotional detachment.
And you’re the ghost that I can’t hold
The person is like a ghost, impossible to hold or grasp onto.
You’re lost and you’re reckless
Describing the person as lost and reckless in their actions.
I’m done and I meant this
Emphasizing the finality of the decision to end things.
Words I wish I could forgive them
Desire to forgive the person's words but finding it challenging.
Thoughts are strangled in my head
Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting thoughts in the mind.
So lost and so reckless
Reiterating the feeling of being lost and reckless.
I’m done and I meant it
Reaffirming the finality of the decision to move on.
You can try, but you can’t save me
Recognition that external efforts to save or help might be futile.
Memories are far from dead
Memories of the past remain vivid and active.
I know the past won’t let you change
Belief that the past won't allow the person to change.
But I don’t know how I’m supposed to live
Uncertainty about how to move forward despite past pain.
With hands over the fire
Metaphorically feeling the pain intensely.
Feel the pain get you higher
Choosing not to forgive despite the pain.
No I better not forgive you
Reiterating the decision to let go for personal betterment.
Yeah I’m better off to let you go
Reinforcing the emotional barrier created by the heart.
You know this heart draws a cold line
Comparing the person to a ghost that cannot be held onto.
And you’re the ghost that I can’t hold
Describing the person as lost and reckless once again.
You’re lost and you’re reckless
Stating finality in the decision to move forward.
I’m done and I meant this
Similar to earlier lines, emphasizing finality.
Words I wish I could forgive them
Continued struggle with forgiving the person's words.
Thoughts are strangled in my head
Feeling mentally overwhelmed and trapped.
So lost and so reckless
Restating the feeling of being lost and reckless.
I’m done and I meant it
Reasserting the decision to move on.
You can try, but you can’t save me
Asserting that external efforts to save or rescue won't succeed.
Memories are far from dead
Memories of the past remain active and influential.
I’m a breath away from sinking
Feeling extremely close to succumbing to the situation.
I’m a step away from breaking now
On the verge of mental or emotional breakdown.
The only thing can save me
Only way to find solace is by reducing expectations.
Is lowering me
Restating the recklessness and being lost.
You’re lost, you’re reckless
Reiterating the finality of the decision to move on.
I’m done and I meant it
Struggle with forgiving the person's words persists.
Words I wish I could forgive them
Mental distress and feeling trapped by thoughts.
Thoughts are strangled in my head
Feeling lost and reckless is reiterated.
So lost and so reckless
Reconfirming the decision to move forward.
I’m done and I meant it
Emphasizing finality and determination to move on.
You can try, but you can’t save me
Asserting that external efforts to save won't work.
Memories are far from dead
Memories from the past remain active and influential.
