Lyrics

It's not what you think

Expressing that the situation is not as it appears or is commonly assumed.

Just one more little bet

Indicating a willingness to take one more risk or chance.

Just another cigarette

Referring to the act of smoking, possibly as a form of escapism or stress relief.

Just one more drink

Expressing a desire for another alcoholic drink.


So lend me just a little more

Requesting a bit more of something, possibly support or understanding.

You know cancer can't catch me

Asserting confidence and defiance, suggesting a lack of fear of consequences.

Let's have another drink or three

Encouraging further drinking, possibly as a coping mechanism.

Don't be a bore

Discouraging dullness or lack of excitement.


But oh, don't I know

Acknowledging awareness of a self-destructive path.

I'm just digging my own grave

Expressing the realization of contributing to one's own downfall.

Someone else please save myself from me

Pleading for intervention or assistance from others.

And oh, lord I know

Reiterating the awareness of personal responsibility for negative consequences.

I'm just digging my own grave

Acknowledging the self-destructive behavior and seeking external help.

Can someone save myself from me?

Asking for external intervention to prevent further self-harm.


I look, I don't touch

Stating a practice of observing without actively participating or engaging.

It's really no big deal

Downplaying the significance of an action, suggesting it's not a major issue.

I'll quit it when I feel I've seen enough

Committing to quitting the behavior when a personal threshold is reached.

Oh, don't call it an affair

Rejecting a serious label for a romantic involvement, implying it's casual.

It's just a little fling

Describing a brief and unimportant romantic relationship.

She doesn't mean a thing to me, I swear

Asserting that the mentioned person has no emotional significance.


But oh, don't I know

Repeating the realization of self-destructive actions and consequences.

I'm just digging my own grave

Acknowledging the continuous contribution to personal downfall.

Someone else please save myself from me

Pleading again for external assistance or intervention.

And oh, lord I know

Reiterating the awareness of self-destructive patterns.

I'm just digging my own grave

Seeking help from others to break the cycle of self-harm.

Someone save myself from me

Repeating the plea for external assistance to prevent further self-inflicted harm.
