Lyrics
So you've messed it up
Acknowledgment that a mistake has been made
Don't know when to stop
Difficulty in recognizing when to cease or halt actions
Said more than enough
Expressed more than necessary or beyond the limit
I've touched you where it hurts
Emphasizing causing emotional pain or vulnerability
And I know I'm not the first
Recognition of being one among many who have caused hurt
But please don't make it worse
Plea to avoid exacerbating the situation or causing additional pain
Don't be so hard on yourself
Advising against being overly self-critical or harsh
Take it out on someone else
Suggesting finding an alternative outlet for frustration or anger
Say my name anyway you please
Indifference toward how one is addressed or mentioned
Use me
Requesting to be used or taken advantage of
Look me in the eye
Desiring to witness happiness or joy from the other person
I'd love to see you smile
Acknowledgment of the effort put into making the other person happy
And I know how hard you try
Acknowledgment of the difficulty faced in attempting to please
Don't be so hard on yourself
Encouragement to be less self-critical or harsh
Take it out on someone else
Suggesting finding a different target for frustrations
Say my name anyway you please
Indifference toward how one's name is used or spoken
In the morning
Anticipation of a change in perspective or demeanor by morning
You'll see a different side
Expectation of seeing a different aspect or behavior
In the morning
Reiteration of anticipating a gentler atmosphere or mood
A softer light
Anticipating a softer or more forgiving outlook
In the morning
Belief that things will appear better in the morning light
It will all look right
Optimism that problems will seem manageable in the morning
And you won't have to hide
Assurance that openness or vulnerability won't be necessary
Don't be so hard on yourself
Encouragement to be less self-critical or harsh (reiteration)
Take it out on someone else
Suggesting finding a different target for frustrations (reiteration)
Say my name anyway you please
Indifference toward how one's name is used or spoken (reiteration)
Don't be so hard on yourself
Repeated encouragement to be less self-critical or harsh
Take it out on someone else
Repeated suggestion to find a different target for frustrations
Say my name anyway you please
Repeated indifference toward how one's name is used or spoken
Use me
Reiteration of the willingness to be used or taken advantage of
