Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make this right?
I'll be alone again tonight
Give me a chance
To prove it to you
I promise that I will be true
So don't look at me
Every time you look at me
I think of how much better I could be
Sorry I'm not worthy for your time
I guess this means this is goodbye
I promise I
Won't hold you down
Please scream angel don't make a sound
Why should we care?
It's not worth the fight
I promise it'll be alright
Just look away

The song's lyrics carry a strong message of self-reflection and self-improvement. The singer recognizes their flaws in the relationship and acknowledges their partner's worth, yet they still can't help but feel inadequate.
