Lyrics
When the grass is dry and everyone has left
Feeling abandoned and isolated when others have moved on
I'll run to you
Expressing a desire to run towards someone
Stay away from here
Warning to stay away from the speaker's current emotional state
If you want me back I'll come around
Openness to reconciliation if the person wants the speaker back
Save yourself my dear
Encouraging the person to prioritize their own well-being
All alone, you left me here to pick up my own heart that's made of stone
Expressing loneliness and the difficulty of dealing with a hardened heart
On the phone, You told me I was worthless now I'm here but I feel gone
Recalling hurtful words received on the phone and feeling emotionally detached
When the grass is dry and everyone has left
Repetition of the image of a deserted place and the speaker's readiness to seek comfort
I'll run to you
Reiteration of the willingness to run towards the person in times of need
When you wonder why you see me by myself
Addressing the curiosity about the speaker's solitude and suggesting a known course of action
You know what to do
Implying the person knows how to handle the speaker's emotional state
Stay away from here
Repeating the warning to stay away from the speaker's current emotional state
If you want me back I'll come around
Reaffirming the readiness to return if wanted
Save yourself my dear
Encouraging the person to prioritize their own well-being once again
I'll come around, I'll stay around
Commitment to be present and support the person
Stay away from here
Repeated warning to stay away from the speaker's current emotional state
If you want me back, I promise I will
Promising to return if the person desires
Take yourself my dear
Suggesting the person should take care of themselves
All alone, You left me here to pick up my own heart that's made of stone
Reiteration of the pain of being left with a hardened heart
On the phone, You told me I was worthless now I'm here but I feel gone
Recollection of hurtful words on the phone and feeling emotionally distant
Why would you put me in this place, I want to wake up (Yeah)
Expressing confusion about being placed in a difficult situation and a desire to escape
Why get me out of here today, but you wont let go
Questioning why the person brought the speaker out but still holds on
(Let me out, let me out)
Expressing a plea to be let out of the challenging situation
(Let me, let me)
Repetition of the plea to be released from the difficult situation
