Lyrics

I should have kept myself a secret

I regret not keeping myself a secret

Would it have saved me from your lies

Wondering if keeping the secret would have protected me from your dishonesty

The ocean moves

A reference to the constant movement of emotions or situations

As you consume me

Feeling overwhelmed as if being consumed by someone

Every time

Whenever certain situations arise

My thoughts want to kill me

My own thoughts are causing harm or distress

My mind can't seem to love me

Struggling with self-love and acceptance in the mind

Staring forward hating what I see

Looking ahead and disliking what I perceive about myself

The glass breaks from the silence of my screams

Internal turmoil leading to the shattering of silence

I'm looking at my reflection

Examining oneself in a reflective surface

Why can't I be my only friend

Questioning why I can't be my own true friend

I'm looking at my reflection

Reiterating the struggle of self-acceptance through self-reflection

Why can't I be my only friend

Expressing the ongoing challenge of being one's own friend

Bathe in a pool of regret

Immersed in a pool of remorse and sorrow

Love is a piercing

Love is painful and feels like a piercing sensation

My skin rejects

Feeling a rejection of love or emotional connection by one's own skin

These wounds deepen

Emotional wounds becoming more profound as a metaphorical blade enters

As the blade creeps in

Describing the gradual emotional pain inflicted on oneself

Your blood reminded me

A reminder of the emotional connection through shared experiences

Comfort when I'm hurt

Finding solace in the memories of comfort during distress

The ocean moves

A repetition of the earlier reference to the constant movement of emotions or situations

As you consume me

Re-emphasizing the feeling of being consumed by someone or something

Every time

Recurrence of the idea that certain situations trigger overwhelming emotions

My thoughts want to kill me

The internal struggle intensifies with harmful thoughts

My mind can't seem to love me

Continued difficulty in finding self-love in the mind

Staring forward hating what I see

Continuing to dislike the self-image while looking ahead

The glass breaks from the silence of my screams

The internal turmoil escalates, leading to the breaking of silence

I'm looking at my reflection

Revisiting the act of self-examination through reflection

Why can't I be my only friend

Reiterating the desire to understand why self-friendship is elusive

I'm looking at my reflection

Continuing the struggle of self-acceptance through reflective introspection

Why can't I be my only friend

Expressing frustration about the difficulty of becoming one's own true friend
