Lyrics

Well you can take back all the smiles

Expressing a desire to retract or undo moments of happiness or joy.

I realize that you choke me out

A realization that the person is suffocating or suppressing the speaker.

As you fill my body with doubt

The person is causing the speaker to doubt themselves, creating inner turmoil.

Save all that’s mine

Request to preserve what belongs to the speaker.

You feel like you can push me round

Feeling dominated or mistreated, being pushed around by the person.

And rub my face in the ground

The person is humiliating the speaker, making them feel inferior.


With every lesson that you feel is mine

Referring to the negative experiences or teachings that the person imparts to the speaker.

You’ve got to throw it all upon me

The burden of the person's actions is placed on the speaker.

Why’d you have to put me down?

Questioning why the person is belittling or criticizing the speaker.

And every breath you take is killing mine

The person's actions are causing harm to the speaker's well-being.

You can’t just throw it all upon me

The speaker is not willing to bear the entire weight of the person's negative impact.

Why’d you have to put me down?

Expressing frustration or confusion about being put down by the person.


Wish I could take back all that’s mine

Desire to undo or reverse what belongs to the speaker.

I realize now I’m so run down

Acknowledging feeling physically and emotionally exhausted.

But I know I’ll figure it out

Expressing confidence in eventually resolving issues or challenges.

Please stay awhile

Request for the person to stay and support the speaker.

I really think I need this more than I have ever implied

An admission that the speaker needs support more than previously indicated.


With every lesson that you feel is mine

Referring again to negative experiences or teachings imposed by the person.

You’ve got to throw it all upon me

Assigning responsibility for the negative impact to the speaker.

Why’d you have to put me down?

Questioning the reason behind being put down by the person.

And every breath you take is killing mine

Highlighting the detrimental effects of the person's actions on the speaker's life.

You can’t just throw it all upon me

Rejecting the idea of solely bearing the consequences of the person's actions.

Why’d you have to put me down?

Expressing frustration or confusion about being put down by the person.


I guess I’m just another distraction

Admitting to being a mere distraction in the eyes of the person.

But who can blame me for wanting it more?

Justifying the desire for more in the face of distractions.


With every lesson that you feel is mine

Referring again to negative experiences or teachings imposed by the person.

You’ve got to throw it all upon me

Assigning responsibility for the negative impact to the speaker.

Why’d you have to put me down?
