It Works Itself Out

Repeating mistakes in relationships.

"Just, is it time to take a look at what happened? Oh, bound by your shame When you made the mistake of reacting to reaction"

Instead of taking a look at why it didn't work out the first time, you rush to trust giving it a second chance. You believe things will work out better this time.

"You put your thoughts into the shape of a weapon And all you did was learn a terrible lesson That you can sell me out again Sell me out again"

"Live and learn" concept. All you did was learn. You haven't experienced the consequences of a repeated mistake, of giving it a second chance. Your thoughts become the weapon because you'll get hurt again in the end. It didn't work out the first time for a reason.

"There is a thought that drifts away It's an echo A memory replaced by distractions It's a distraction"

There's a thought, a fear that it won't work out the second time. An echo, meaning a repeat. That thought drifts away. And it drifts away because you never took the time to look at all the reasons it didn't work out the first time. You're being distracted by your thoughts, whatever is allowing you to believe things will work out this time.

"Your suicidal regrets and all (My love, it has died) I guess that you should know (The dream is still alive)"

You no longer regret why it didn't work out the first time. The death of regret keeps your dream alive. The dream that you'll end up together as you wanted to be.

"You can sell me out again Sell me out again"

And it'll sell you out again. You should've buried the dream, learned from your first mistake.

Or, you know... next time take the time to actually look at all the reasons why it didn't work out the first time. And mourn.
