Lyrics
I'm done
Expressing completion or exhaustion with a situation
I've done all my time
Having invested a significant amount of time
I picked your pieces
Taking care of someone, helping them recover
built you up so high
Supporting and elevating someone emotionally
But now I'm building bridges
Transitioning away from past efforts
Crossing over tides
Overcoming challenges or obstacles
I'm building my hopes up
Feeling optimistic and hopeful
and closing my eyes
Choosing to ignore reality or problems
And I'll build a door so we don't coincide
Creating distance or boundaries to avoid conflict
'Cuz it's cold
Describing emotional detachment or a lack of warmth
It's cold inside
Feeling emotionally isolated or numb
My walls are all bare now
Metaphorically referring to emotional vulnerability or exposure
I want it all white
Desiring a clean slate or purity
Leave pastels behind,
Letting go of subtle, soft emotions
I'll paint it all over
Starting anew or refreshing the surroundings
And I'll watch it dry
Waiting for change or transformation
I'll take down the posters
Removing reminders of shared experiences
About all our nights
Relinquishing memories of past moments together
And I'll paint my ceiling so we don't share a sky
Creating personal space to avoid emotional connections
And I don't know why
Expressing confusion or uncertainty
You're old
Describing someone as experienced but possibly weary
You're grown and you're tired
Attempting something but facing complications
Tried putting your seeds down
Questioning the purpose or significance of effort
but the roots are all wired
Choosing one's own desired reality
What's the point in flowers?
Questioning the value of traditional symbols of affection
When we can paint petals
Desiring creative freedom or imagination
Whatever we'd like
Preserving moments until they become acceptable
We press them in picture frames until you love them dry
Requesting freedom or release from a situation
Let me go, don't let me by
Fearing facing reality or the truth
Don't let me open up my eyes
Avoiding awakening to a difficult reality
Let me go, don't let me die
Requesting release from emotional pain or entanglement
I loved you 'til I loved you, I
Expressing exhaustion from loving intensely
Let me go, don't let me by
Fearing confronting a challenging situation
Don't let me open up my eyes
Avoiding a difficult realization or truth
Let me go, don't let me die
Requesting freedom from emotional exhaustion
I loved you 'til I loved you dry
Emphasizing the depletion of emotional energy in loving
