Lyrics
And I know that I'm not a perfect guy
The speaker acknowledges their imperfections.
And I know that what we had has died
The relationship they had is now over.
And I've been wrong before and I've done it again
The speaker admits past mistakes and repeats them.
But I know that this time this has to end
Realization that this current situation needs to come to an end.
Take what you need to take
Encouraging the other person to take what they require and leave if they wish.
run if you don't wanna stay
Suggesting leaving if staying is undesired.
I just wanna be left alone
Expressing a desire for solitude.
Cuz I am so tired
Feeling emotionally drained and exhausted.
I just need my peace and quiet
Seeking tranquility and calmness.
Like a lion searching for a home
Comparing oneself to a lion in search of a home, symbolizing a quest for belonging.
You were tired and cold
Describing the other person as weary and broken.
a broken body on the road
Depicting a distressed and injured state.
not sure where to go and you messed it all
Confusion and a sense of having ruined everything.
And I've been wrong before and I've done it again
Admitting to past mistakes again.
But I know that this time this has to end
Emphasizing the need for the current situation to conclude.
Take what you need to take
Reiterating the suggestion to take what's necessary and leave.
run if you don't wanna stay
Encouraging departure if staying is undesirable.
I just wanna be left alone
Expressing a strong desire for solitude once more.
Cuz I am so tired
Reiterating emotional exhaustion.
I just need my peace and quiet
Seeking peace and quiet repetitively.
Like a lion searching for a home
Comparing oneself to a lion, continuing the quest for a place of belonging.
for a home for a home for a home for a home yeah
Repetition emphasizing the desire for a home.
Take what you need to take
Encouraging the other to take what they need and depart if they choose.
run if you don't wanna stay
Reinforcing the option of leaving if staying is unwanted.
I just wanna be left alone
Reiterating the longing for solitude.
Cuz I am so tired
Expressing deep exhaustion.
I just need my peace and quiet
Repeating the need for peace and quiet.
Like a lion searching for a home
Continuing the analogy of searching for a home like a lion.
Take what you need to take
Repeated suggestion to take necessities and depart if desired.
