Lyrics
Here I'm sitting
Expressing the current state of being present.
With this pain in my chest
Describing physical and emotional pain located in the chest.
And a glass full of regret
Referring to a glass filled with remorse and sorrow.
Thanks to all of the choices I've been making
Acknowledging the consequences of past decisions.
You left
Highlighting the departure of a significant person.
And I learned that
Realizing a personal internal struggle and difficulty.
I'm my own nightmare
Admitting self-destructive tendencies and behaviors.
Destroy everything that I see
Expressing a destructive nature towards everything observed.
Everything that means anything to me
Destroying things that hold value and meaning.
Can't help it
Expressing a lack of control over destructive actions.
No matter how hard I try
Acknowledging persistent difficulties despite efforts.
It's what I'm used to
Referring to a familiar and habitual state.
Habits are hard to kill
Commenting on the difficulty of breaking established habits.
We both know
A shared understanding or acknowledgment between individuals.
When I think about it
Reflecting on the emotional pain caused by the situation.
It does hurt
Recognizing the emotional pain associated with letting go.
Letting go is the worst part
Expressing the challenge and difficulty of releasing attachment.
Cuz I know you'll never look at me the same
Anticipating a change in perception from the other person.
All the roads led to nowhere
Highlighting a sense of aimlessness and lack of direction.
Story was over before I wrote it
Indicating a prematurely concluded narrative.
I didn't even know what I wanted
Admitting uncertainty about personal desires.
But I knew I wasn't ever gonna change for you
Asserting a refusal to change for the other person.
For you
Reiterating the commitment to personal integrity.
You were patient
Acknowledging positive qualities of the other person.
You were kind
Highlighting positive characteristics such as patience and kindness.
You were different
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the other person.
You brought into the room
Bringing positivity and brightness into one's life.
The light I was missing
Describing a positive impact on the speaker's life.
But I didn't want to see it
Denying recognition or appreciation of the positive impact.
I'd rather stay in the dark
Choosing ignorance over facing the positive reality.
Enjoy my own company
Preferring solitude and isolation over a relationship.
Revel in my solitude
Enjoying being alone and avoiding relationships.
Than try to figure out a life with you
Rejecting the idea of building a life together.
