Lyrics
I was the spark, you were the matches
Describes a relationship where one person ignites the situation while the other person fuels it, resulting in a destructive outcome.
You’d set me up to watch me burn
One person deliberately sets up the other to witness their downfall or suffering.
Kept getting caught in the heat of the moment
Repeatedly getting caught up in intense moments but eventually realizing and understanding them over time.
It took me time but now I’ve learned
The speaker has taken time to learn from their experiences.
I see my breath like smoke from a cigarette
The speaker's breath resembles the visible exhale of smoke, but they refuse to stoop to the level where the other person has fallen.
But I won’t rise to where you fell
Choosing not to follow the destructive path the other person took.
I let the ice take a hold of my smile
Choosing to mask emotions and not let the other person see their pain.
Won’t let you lead me back to hell
Determined not to be led back into a harmful situation.
Go and leave me in the cold
Inviting the other person to leave and not be part of their life.
I’d rather be alone
Prefer being alone over being with someone who causes harm.
Don’t need you to save me, save me, save me, save me now
Declaring independence, not needing the other person's rescue anymore.
Cause I’m not on my own
Although not alone, they don't need the other person to feel complete.
Though I’m frozen to the bone
Despite feeling deeply affected, there's a certain comfort in the cold or isolation.
I kind of like the cold
Expressing an affinity for the coldness or solitude.
Cold, cold, cold
Reiteration of the coldness theme.
You used to say our love’s on fire
Previous claims of passionate love have been recanted or revealed as false.
You used to say I was your flame
The person used to consider the speaker as their passion or reason for existence.
But I never felt that burning desire
The speaker never reciprocated the intense feelings the other person had.
Truth is I never felt the same
The speaker never felt the same depth of emotion.
Go and leave me in the cold
Reiterating the desire for separation and solitude.
I’d rather be alone
Prefer solitude over a relationship with the person.
Don’t need you to save me, save me, save me, save me now
Emphasizing the lack of need for rescue.
Cause I’m not on my own
Despite feeling affected, the speaker doesn't rely on the other person for support.
Though I’m frozen to the bone
Despite feeling deeply affected, there's a certain comfort in the cold or isolation.
I kind of like the cold
Reiteration of finding solace in the coldness or solitude.
Cold, cold, cold
Reiteration of the theme of coldness.
Cold, cold, cold
Continuation of the coldness theme.
Now I’m numb to the core
Feeling emotionally desensitized or detached from feelings.
Can’t take anymore
Reaching a breaking point, unable to endure more.
Gotta let go of you
Realizing the need to detach from the other person.
There’s no fire in my veins
No longer feeling the intense passion or attachment towards the other person.
I let it all drain away
Letting go of the emotions and intensity associated with the relationship.
Now I let go of you
Letting go of the attachment to the other person.
Go and leave me in the cold
Reiteration of the desire for separation and solitude.
I’d rather be alone
Prefer solitude over a relationship with the person.
Don’t need you to save me, save me, save me, save me now
Emphasizing the lack of need for rescue.
Cause I’m not on my own

Though I’m frozen to the bone

Cold, cold, cold
Continuation of the coldness theme.
