Lyrics
Who knew something so sweet could leave such a bad taste in my mouth
Expressing surprise that something seemingly pleasant has negative consequences.
It's all of the words I should say when I'm hurt but they won't come out
Struggling to articulate hurtful feelings, feeling inhibited in expressing emotions.
It's me lying in bed with your voice in my head turning into a shout
Lying in bed with persistent thoughts, possibly arguments, with a partner becoming intense.
I should get used to this cause I guess this is what love's all about
Acknowledging that challenges and discomfort are part of the experience of love.
It's not the same as it used to be
Noting a change in the relationship dynamics.
We're not the same, you and me
Highlighting a divergence between the speaker and the partner.
If your heart is locked neither one of us has the key
Describing a situation where neither person has the solution or remedy for the relationship issues.
But when you think of me
Questioning if the partner thinks about the speaker.
Do you find it hard to breathe
Suggesting that thinking about the speaker may cause discomfort or unease.
Do the tears you've held in all this weekend
Asking if the partner has been holding back tears throughout the weekend.
Finally roll down your cheek
Wondering if suppressed emotions are now surfacing and being expressed through tears.
It's hard to believe we have less than a week till we go back home
Acknowledging a limited time together before parting, anticipating emotional challenges.
It's gonna mess with my head when I lay in my bed and I'm all alone
Anticipating emotional difficulty when alone, despite the excitement of upcoming events.
I should be excited but I can't hide I don't wanna be on my own
Expressing reluctance to be alone despite the apparent excitement of the upcoming events.
But I don't think you want me when you speak to me in that tone
Doubting the partner's desire when spoken to in a particular manner.
It's not the same as it used to be
Reiterating the changed nature of the relationship.
We're not the same, you and me
Emphasizing the growing differences between the speaker and the partner.

I don't think I can ever escape
Expressing doubt about the possibility of escaping the emotional impact of the relationship.
The way you make me feel
Acknowledging the powerful impact the partner has on the speaker's emotions.
You and your bitter heart of steel
Describing the partner as having a cold or unfeeling heart.
I have a life that I wanna live
Expressing a desire for a fulfilling life that the speaker wants to share.
That I just want to reveal
Wanting to reveal aspects of the speaker's life but feeling hindered by the relationship.
But I can't spend it trying to heal
