This song is structured as an internal dialogue.
In parts of it we hear an exposition of the person’s destructive, addictive, and/or immoral actions along with all their claims that minimize and justify their evil.
On the other hand, the chorus lyrics display a self-awareness that 1) these things...
[Verse 1]
It's not what you think, it's just one more little bet
Just another cigarette, just one more drink
So lend me just a little more, you know cancer can't catch me
Let's have another drink or three, don't be a bore
[Chorus]
But oh, don't I know I'm just digging my own grave
Can someone else please save myself from me?
And oh, Lord I know I'm just digging my own grave
Can someone save myself from me?
[Verse 2]
I look but don't touch, it's really no big deal
I'll quit it when I feel I've seen enough
Oh, don't call it an affair, it's just a little fling
She doesn't mean a thing to me, I swear
[Chorus]
But oh, don't I know I'm just digging my own grave
Can someone else please save myself from me?
And oh, Lord I know I'm just digging my own grave
Can someone save myself from me?
