Lyric discussion by Throsby 

Cover art for Like Nails To a Casket lyrics by I Killed the Prom Queen

I think it's "It's too late to rise from ruins."

and never real good out interpreting songs correctly?

but perhaps a friend her partner who continuously lets you down in some way yet always looks to you for forgiveness? and just having enough of such a relationship.

the opening two lines and the chorus paints that picture for me particularly.
