Lyrics

She's the songs I hear in my head

She embodies the melodies that play in the speaker's thoughts.

And she's the words often left unsaid

She represents the unspoken sentiments and expressions.

And I never really listened

The speaker admits to not truly paying attention previously.

When she said to keep my distance

She advised maintaining a distance, but the speaker disregarded it.

Now I'm begging

The speaker is now pleading for help or salvation.

Oh, baby

Expressing emotional distress and vulnerability.

Why don't you save me

The plea for rescue intensifies.

From myself

Seeking salvation from self-destructive behaviors.

My extra time

Reflection on unused or wasted time.

Lately

The word "Lately" indicates recent emotional turmoil.

I think I'm going crazy

The speaker feels a sense of losing control or sanity.

It feels like hell

Describing intense emotional suffering akin to hell.

Inside my mind

The turmoil is affecting the speaker's mental state.

I said

Reiteration of the speaker's distress.

She's the days saved up unspent

She symbolizes the accumulated, unused good times.

And I'm a book, dusty and unread

Comparing the speaker to an unread, neglected book.

And I never really listened

The speaker overlooked her when she mentioned something lacking.

When she said something's missing

The realization that something important is absent.

Now I'm begging

A plea for assistance intensifies again.

Oh, baby

Continued emotional vulnerability and desperation.

Why don't you save me

Repeated plea for rescue from internal struggles.

From myself

Repetition of seeking salvation from self-destructive tendencies.

My extra time

Reflecting on time spent aimlessly or wastefully.

Lately

Reiteration of recent emotional turmoil.

I think I'm going crazy

The speaker feels a heightened sense of losing sanity.

It feels like hell

Reiterating the intense emotional suffering.

Inside my mind

Impact on the speaker's mental well-being is emphasized.

Baby

Addressing the person directly, emphasizing the plea for rescue.

Why don't you save me

Repeated call for salvation from internal struggles.

From myself

Reiteration of seeking deliverance from self-destructive tendencies.

My extra time

Reflecting on time spent without purpose or fulfillment.

Lately

Emphasizing recent emotional turmoil.

I think I'm going crazy

The speaker feels an increasing sense of losing control.

It feels like hell

Describing the emotional turmoil as hellish.

Inside my mind

Reiteration of the impact on the speaker's mental state.
