Why didnt you stop me mitski lyrics

I was listening to both tracks recently, and was struck by how similar the subject matter is. Both are about leaving someone for their own good, but the different takes on em (with TOH being more about the singer not being good enough, where WDYSM places more blame - of a sort - on the other party in the relationship. Does anyone else kinda see this?

Mitski Lyrics

I know that I ended it, but Why won't you chase after me? You know me better than I do So why didn't you stop me? Why didn't you stop me Why didn't you stop me And paint it over? I look for a picture of you To keep in my pocket But I can't seem to find one Where you look how I remember Look how I remember Look how I remember

Paint it over
