Buried Myself Alive Lyrics

You almost always pick the best times to drop the worst lines
You almost made me cry again this time
Another false alarm, red flashing lights
Well, this time I'm not going to watch myself die

I think I made it a game to play your game and let myself cry
Buried myself alive on the inside, so I could shut you out
And let you go away for a long time, God

I guess it's okay, I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask

I think the chain broke away and I felt it the day
That I had my own time
I took advantage of myself and felt fine
But it was worth the night I caught an early flight
And I made it home

I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that, nicer than that

With my foot on your neck, I finally have you
Right where I want you, right where I want you
Right where I want you, right where I want you

I guess it's okay I puked the day away
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that (I guess it's okay I puked the day away)
Nicer than that (I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way)
And if you want me back, you're gonna have to ask
Nicer than that, nicer, nicer

What is the Meaning of Buried Myself Alive?

In this emotionally charged track, The Used delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship where emotional manipulation and self-sacrifice lead to personal turmoil. The lyrics express the protagonist's journey from vulnerability to empowerment, highlighting the struggle of breaking free from an unhealthy bond and reclaiming one's identity. By "burying" themselves alive, they metaphorically shut out the damaging influence of their partner, eventually finding strength in solitude and demanding respect as a prerequisite for reconciliation. #TheUsed #EmotionalRecovery #ToxicRelationships #SelfEmpowerment
