What exactly does Ed mean when he sings "don't make me pitiful"?

I wish the "darkness, darkness" part was longer and the song had a chance to get weird for the last 20-30 seconds.

“Don’t make me write words for these songs anymore,” is the only explanation that fits the meaning of that sentence.theplatypus wrote:What exactly does Ed mean when he sings "don't make me pitiful"?

Re: Can't Deny Me (2017 Christmas Single)
The rushed transitions from the screamy verses to the singy choruses are gonna make it hard for this to ever sound good live. If they hired me as musical director I would have Matt or Stone sing the "higher, farther/darkness, darkness" parts so Ed can catch his breath. At least that would give them something to do.
