Lyrics

Could there be a time when we could be friends...

Expressing hope for a future friendship.

I know that I'm over you

Acknowledging the speaker's emotional detachment from the person.

I know it's a risk by leaving your side

Recognizing the risk in leaving the person's side.

It's a feeling my heart can't undo

Describing an emotional feeling that cannot be reversed.

I don't wanna be as lonely as I feel

Expressing a desire to avoid loneliness.

But maybe I'm here cos you left me high and dry

Suggesting the speaker's current emotional state due to being abandoned.

The woman who has no heart is me

Identifying the speaker as the one without a heart.


And I'm standing in this fire

Acknowledging being in a challenging or intense situation.

The flames are rising high

Describing the intensity of the emotional turmoil.

Could you ever forgive me

Pleading for forgiveness from the other person.

I never meant to break your heart

Admitting unintentional heartbreak caused by the speaker.

And you never meant to break mine

Noting the reciprocal nature of the heartbreak.


I was so nervous of waking up alone

Expressing fear of waking up alone.

But does it mean I'm stronger now?

Pondering whether facing solitude has made the speaker stronger.

Life is a lie and honesty is meaningless

Making a cynical statement about life and honesty.

Cos you know that I honestly tried

Asserting the speaker's genuine effort despite challenges.

I don't wanna be as angry as you are

Expressing a desire not to be as angry as the other person.

Maybe I'm here cos I punished you for so long

Suggesting the possibility of the speaker's presence due to prolonged punishment.

The woman who has no heart is me

Reiterating the speaker's perceived lack of a heart.


And I'm standing in this fire

Reaffirming the challenging or intense situation.

The flames are rising high

Describing the emotional intensity as rising.

Could you ever forgive me

Repeating the plea for forgiveness.

I never meant to break your heart

Reiterating the unintended breaking of the other person's heart.

And you never meant to break mine

Reaffirming the mutual nature of the heartbreak.


Make this harder say I'm crazy

Mentioning the difficulty and potential judgment faced by the speaker.

But please don't be mean to me cos I really tried

Pleading not to be treated harshly due to sincere effort.

Could you ever forgive me

Repeating the plea for forgiveness.

But I never meant to break your heart

Emphasizing the lack of intention in breaking the other person's heart.

And you never meant to break mine

Reaffirming the mutual unintentional nature of the heartbreak.
