Lyrics

Well I've decided no one's knowing

Expressing a decision to keep personal matters private or not share details with others.

Anything 'bout where I'm going

Emphasizing the secrecy about the destination or future plans.

I can't even talk to my friends anymore

Feeling isolated to the extent of being unable to communicate with friends.

I'm not blaming anyone

Not assigning blame to anyone for the current difficulties.

For the mess I've gotten in

Acknowledging personal responsibility for the troubles encountered.

I'm only frightened

Expressing fear related to one's own actions or choices.

By the things that I've done

Concerned about the negative consequences of past actions.


Keep me safe from myself

Pleading for protection from self-destructive tendencies.

I can't do it without your help

Acknowledging the need for external assistance in overcoming personal challenges.

Your love's the finest thing

Highlighting the value of love as a powerful force in life.

That I've ever known

Describing love as the best and most precious experience.

I want to come home

Expressing a desire to return to a place of safety and comfort.


Thinking back when I was young

Reflecting on the protection received during youth.

You kept me safe from everything

Recalling being shielded from various challenges in the past.

Set me straight when I went wrong

Acknowledging guidance received during times of mistakes.

Raised me to respect myself

Being raised with a sense of self-respect and values.

I can offer no excuse

Taking responsibility for actions without offering excuses.

For this senseless self abuse

Admitting to engaging in self-destructive behavior without reason.

All the pain that I've caused you to feel

Expressing regret for causing pain to others.

When I hurt myself, it hurts you more

Recognizing that personal harm extends to affecting loved ones.

And that's what hurts me most of all

Stating that the pain inflicted on others is the most distressing aspect.

I shouldn't go on hurting any more

Expressing the desire to stop causing harm to oneself and others.


Keep me safe from myself

Reiterating the plea for protection from self-destructive tendencies.

I can't do it without your help

Reinforcing the need for external assistance in overcoming personal challenges.

Your love's the finest thing

Reaffirming the significance of love as a positive force.

That I've ever known

Reiterating the unmatched value of love in the speaker's life.

I want to come home

Expressing a strong desire to return to a place of safety and love.

I want to come home

Repeating the longing to come home, emphasizing the emotional need.

I want to come home

Reiterating the strong desire to return home.

I want to come home

Emphasizing the persistent yearning to come back to a place of safety.

I want to come home

Repeating the deep desire to return home, reinforcing the plea.


Keep me safe from myself

Continuing the plea for protection from self-destructive tendencies.

I can't do it without your help

Emphasizing the reliance on external assistance in facing personal challenges.

Your love's the finest thing

Affirming the profound impact of love as a positive force.

That I've ever known

Reiterating the unmatched value of love in the speaker's life.


Take me now, a shelter be

Expressing a plea to be taken to a place of safety and refuge.

Before there's nothing left of me

Highlighting a sense of urgency in seeking shelter before personal deterioration.
