Lyrics
I just can't find the words to come right out and answer you
The speaker is struggling to express themselves clearly in response to a question or situation.
No matter what I say, we both end up in a battle
Despite the speaker's attempts, conversations with the other person often turn into arguments.
I don't know how to get you to realize you're talking
The speaker doesn't know how to make the other person understand that their communication is negative.
Everything that's negative
The other person is focusing on everything negative, which is detrimental to the relationship.
And that's not helping us in this matter
Continuing to talk negatively is not beneficial for the relationship.
Why you wanna drag me down
The speaker questions why the other person is trying to bring them down.
Why you wanna fool around
Asking why the other person is engaging in foolish or harmful behavior.
Why you wanna slam my name around this town
Questioning why the other person is spreading negative information about the speaker in town.
Leave me broken and bitter?
Expressing the emotional impact of the other person's actions, leaving the speaker feeling shattered.
Why you wanna call me out

Why you wanna create doubt

When you know I'm trying to be better?

The world is full of hearts just waiting to be broken
Highlighting the fragility of relationships, emphasizing the ease with which they can be damaged.
It's easy to destroy it all when evil words are spoken
Emphasizing the destructive power of negative words in destroying relationships.
And just because you know that you have the power
Acknowledging that having power doesn't justify using it to harm others.
Doesn't mean you have to put it out there
Suggesting that it's better to keep certain powers or negative thoughts to oneself.
The world is better off if you just say nothing
Advocating for silence if speaking negatively doesn't contribute positively to the world.

It's up to you to try and see that we are being more than patient
Encouraging the other person to recognize the patience shown and to consider moving on if necessary.
But if you don't that's fine we'll just move on to a new location
Accepting the possibility of moving on to a new location if understanding is not achieved.
I hope one day you find a way to use your weapon
Hoping that the other person learns to use their influence or power wisely.
You're smart enough to say exactly what we're thinking

Use that tongue for good instead of crushing dreams
