Lyrics

Run for cover, I don't wanna wonder

Expressing a desire to avoid a situation and the uncertainty it brings.

Scenes play out of you lyin' with another

Imagery of scenes where the person is being unfaithful.

I'm just jealous of you lyin' to another

Admitting jealousy about the partner's deceit with someone else.

Bonded by the trauma, know I'm just a number

Feeling like just a statistic, connected through shared emotional wounds.

Know I had a line that you crossed

Referring to a boundary that was crossed in the relationship.

Love the only way to kill a boss

Suggesting that love is the only way to overcome challenges.

Look like you're a model but

Acknowledging external beauty while hinting at a deeper, hidden side.

I've seen your centerfold

Having seen a revealing image or aspect of the person.

Yeah

Confirmation or agreement with a statement.

That heart you've got inside you is

Contrasting the apparent goodness with an internal reality that is not valuable.

The furthest thing from gold

Describing the heart as not precious or pure.

Waters rush in, I've been drownin' in it

Feeling overwhelmed by emotions, possibly related to a past trauma.

Not sure what love is, having trouble with it

Expressing confusion and difficulty in understanding love.

Wonder if I ever knew what

Reflecting on a lack of clarity about what was sought in a relationship.

I was searching for

Questioning the purpose or fulfillment in the search for something.

But everything's that bad for me has

Negative aspects seem to be manifesting in the person's life.

Shown up at my door

Undesirable circumstances are becoming apparent in the person's life.

I give up none of this adding up

Expressing frustration with things not making sense or adding up.

That body deadly to me

Describing the partner's body as dangerously attractive.

Your touch is cancerous

Characterizing the partner's touch as harmful like cancer.

You push me to the edge

Pushed to the limit by the partner, possibly causing emotional eruption.

Get mad when I erupt

Expressing frustration and anger when reaching a breaking point.

I'm one foot out the door

Contemplating leaving the relationship.

I'm so done feeling stuck, yeah

Feeling fed up with being stuck in a situation.


I'm done acting like it's all love

Deciding not to pretend that everything is based on love.

Waitin' on an outcome I ain't gonna see

Anticipating an outcome that won't be favorable.

I'm done dying on the inside

Expressing inner pain and emotional suffering.

Watch you crack a smile every

Observing the partner's happiness at the speaker's expense.

Time you see me bleed

Highlighting the partner's lack of empathy when witnessing the speaker's pain.


I can't be honest with you, yeah

Expressing an inability to be truthful in the relationship.

Can't be honest with you, yeah

Repeated emphasis on the difficulty of being honest.

Can't be honest with you, yeah

Continued emphasis on the challenge of honesty in the relationship.

Can't be honest with you, yeah

Reiteration of the struggle to be truthful in the relationship.


Tell me I'm wrong for feeling that way

Seeking validation for feeling a certain way.

Tell me I'm wrong for feeling this pain

Asking for acknowledgment of the legitimacy of emotional pain.

Sorry my heart still works and

Expressing sorrow for still having a functioning heart and prioritizing the partner.

For putting you first

Acknowledging a past act of prioritizing the partner over oneself.

You put me on that pedestal 'til

Recalling a time when the speaker was elevated but eventually faced downfall.

You put me in dirt

Highlighting the contrast between being praised and ultimately mistreated.

Yeah

Empty line without specific lyrical content.
