It's about her looking back on her past life and relations and how she came out of it stronger whilst still realizing it was hard and that she was never perfect either. "Standing where I am now, standing up at all I was used to feeling like I was never gonna see myself at the finish line Hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all I was used to seeing no future in my sight line" - Looking back on her past life/relations, realizing how hard it's been and how hopeless everything felt during/after compared to now. "Sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me Send all those villains after me" - Old ghosts/thoughts or people from her past sometimes reminds her of those times and tries to pull her back "I'm not their hero But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave I never walked the party line Doesn't mean that I was never afraid I'm not your hero But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same" - She was never the one for them (the people/relations from her past) so what happened (that she left them behind) was the right thing, as well as she admits she was not perfect either and it was just as much her fault. "Feeling like I am now lighting up the hall I was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart Learning all I know now, losing all I did I never used to feel like I'd be standing so far ahead" - How she feels today, independent and strong and that she came out of it stronger. "Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost Sending your peaceful loss to me" - Feeling sorry for the people in her past that they might not have come as far as her in moving on from it all, or are stuck in old ways. "Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got It's so hard to know I'm not what they want" - She is explaining that it was not easy for her either and has never been, that she has contradictory feelings about that she sometimes feel bad for leaving these people behind as well as feeling bad for never being able to be enough for them. "I do my best to walk the finest line Till I've had all that I can take" - Stating to herself that she will keep on fighting. |
