I don't think this song is about her depression at all. I think this song is about a relationship ending. Someone's heart is broken.
"It's probably what's best for you
I only want the best for you
And if I'm not the best, then you're stuck
I tried to sever ties
And I ended up with wounds to bind
Like you're pouring salt in my cuts"
She is basically saying that breaking up is what's best for the other person. She is saying she just wants the best for the guy even if it means breaking up and if she's not the best then he would be stuck. She tried to let him go by "severing ties" but the guy isn't truly happy. She ended up with "wounds to bind" because she is also heartbroken by having to let him go so that he's not "stuck."
"And I just ran out of band-aids
I don't even know where to start
'Cause you can bandage the damage
You never really can fix a heart"
Here she is saying that she ran out of band-aids to fix her broken heart. She doesn't know where to start to actually fix her broken heart because her heart isn't physically broken so obviously, a band-aid wouldn't work. Band-aids only help physical damage not emotional damage.
"Even though I know what's wrong
How could I be so sure
If you never say what you feel, feel?
I must have held your hand so tight
You didn't have the will to fight
I guess you needed more time to heal"
Here she is saying that the guy never told her how he felt and that she must have held onto him for so long knowing that he just wasn't fighting for the relationship anymore. He needed more space and she didn't give that to him.
"Baby, I just ran out of band-aids
I don't even know where to start
'Cause you can bandage the damage
You never really can fix a heart"
Same as before.
"Yeah, you must be a miracle worker
Swearing up and down you can fix what's been broken, yeah
Please don't get my hopes up
No, no
Baby, tell me, how could you be so cruel?
Its like you're pouring salt on my cuts."
Here she is talking to the guy saying that he they would need a miracle worker to fix their relationship. The guy keeps saying that he can fix everything knowing that it won't work and he will get her hopes up. "Its like you're pouring salt on my cuts" means that he is just making the damage a lot worse. Salt isn't literally going into her cuts.
@foryouiwill91 I agree with what you think this song is about, but I think it might be about both. a relationship ending and with her struggles on mental health & cutting.
