Lyrics
It's a war that never ends
Describing an ongoing conflict or struggle that never ceases
So sick of this defense
Expressing frustration with constantly having to defend oneself
What you held against me
Referring to things held against the speaker
You're trying to convince me that it's always my fault
Feeling blamed and convinced that everything is the speaker's fault
I'll have to just pretend
Being forced to pretend or act as if everything is okay
With time we'll make amends
Hoping for reconciliation and healing over time
You're condescending and filled with envy
Describing the other person as patronizing and jealous
Like what is it you want?
Questioning the motives or desires of the other person
'Cause I tried to be everything you need
Effort to fulfill the needs of the other person
You suffocate me, I can't breathe
Feeling overwhelmed and stifled by the other person
Don't try to fix me, when all you do is break me
Resisting attempts to be fixed by someone who only causes harm
I'm tired of when we disagree
Exhaustion from disagreements with the other person
You lose your mind and you just scream
Describing the other person's extreme reactions during arguments
But now you're dead to me, all you do is break me
Reaching a point where the other person is emotionally disconnected and damaging
Here we go again, I'm caught up in suspense
Feeling trapped in a repetitive cycle of tension
But now we're sinking, I'm overthinking
Sense of sinking deeper into negative thoughts
'bout everything I've done
Reflecting on past actions and feeling remorseful
How do I tell her that it's over?
Struggling with the idea of ending the relationship
I can't deal with the pain when I'm sober
Unable to cope with emotional pain without substance use
I just don't know what to do
Feeling conflicted about what steps to take
Don't want to leave but I got to leave you
Wanting to leave despite not wanting to
'Cause I tried to be everything you need
Reiteration of trying to meet the other person's expectations
You suffocate me, I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated and unable to breathe freely in the relationship
Don't try to fix me, when all you do is break me
Rejecting attempts at being fixed by someone who only causes harm
I'm tired of when we disagree
Continued fatigue from disagreements with the other person
You lose your mind and you just scream
Describing the other person's reactions during conflicts
But now you're dead to me, all you do is break me
Reaching a point where the other person is emotionally detached and harmful
Don't tell me what I did wrong
Refusing to accept blame without understanding what went wrong
Why did I stay so long?
Questioning why the speaker stayed in the situation for so long
I hope you're dead and gone
Expressing a wish for the other person to be absent or removed from the speaker's life
I hope you're dead and gone
Repetition of the desire for the other person's absence
'Cause I tried to be everything you need
Reiteration of attempting to meet the other person's expectations
You suffocate me, I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated and unable to breathe freely in the relationship
Don't try to fix me, when all you do is break me
Rejecting attempts at being fixed by someone who only causes harm
I'm tired of when we disagree
Continued fatigue from disagreements with the other person
You lose your mind and you just scream
Describing the other person's reactions during conflicts
But now you're dead to me, all you do is break me
Reaching a point where the other person is emotionally detached and harmful
Break me
Summarizing the impact of the relationship on the speaker, feeling broken
