Lyrics
Well I won't waste another minute
Expressing a refusal to waste more time.
On anyone like you
Addressing someone not worth the speaker's time.
You're heartless in your origins
Describing the person as heartless in their origins, lacking compassion.
And I'm tired and weakened through
Feeling exhausted and weakened by the situation.
Now I'm leaving all my bridges burned
Deciding to cut off connections by burning bridges.
I'm disconnecting ties
Actively disconnecting ties with the person.
I'm screening my position
Taking measures to protect oneself, possibly emotionally.
'Cause I don't want you in my life
Expressing a strong desire to exclude the person from one's life.
Sometimes, these people push me around
Highlighting instances where certain individuals mistreat the speaker.
And I'm tired of people keeping me down
Feeling worn down by people who consistently bring the speaker down.
Every city and every town, no matter where I go
Emphasizing the ubiquity of negative experiences in various places.
Every smile and every frown, oh you're in every show
Noting the pervasive influence of a specific person in every aspect of life.
And I can't try and find a haven,
Expressing difficulty in finding a place of safety or refuge.
'Cause I can't wait for you to change
Impatience with waiting for the person to change their behavior.
But I'm sure that all the people are the same
Skepticism about the inherent nature of people being similar.
Sometimes, these people push me around
Reiteration of being mistreated by certain individuals.
And I'm tired of people keeping me down
Reinforcing weariness from persistent negativity from others.
Dah-da-da-da
Repeating the theme of people causing distress or frustration.
Dah-da-da-da
-Dah-da-da-da-da
-(Yeah)
-Dah-da-da-da
-Dah-da-da-da
-Dah-da-da-da-da
-Sometimes, these people push me around
Reiterating the impact of negative people on the speaker.
And I'm tired of people
Expressing exhaustion from people who consistently bring the speaker down.
And I'm tired of people keeping me down
-And you've won
Acknowledging the victory of the other person in the situation.
I can't understand where you're coming from
Expressing confusion about the motives or perspective of the other person.
Ooooh-ooh-ooh
Adding a vocalized expression, possibly conveying emotional distress.
And I'm done yeah
Declaring completion or the end of a challenging situation.
Does anyone know where I went so wrong?
Reflecting on personal mistakes and questioning where things went wrong.
