Lyrics

Lonely hearts are hard to break

Lonely hearts are resilient and difficult to emotionally damage

Slowly, scars will take their place

Over time, emotional wounds will heal and leave scars in their place

Lie to me, just lie to me

Requesting deception, asking to be misled

Let's pretend that things are still the same

Suggesting a desire to maintain the illusion that things haven't changed

Lonely nights to stay awake

Nights spent alone, unable to sleep

Shining light on old mistakes

Examining and acknowledging past mistakes in the light

Lie to me, just lie to me

Asking for more deception, wishing to live in denial

Let's pretend that nothing ever changed

Desiring to pretend that nothing in the relationship has changed

It's easy if you try

Assuring that revisiting the past is simple

Cause it's all in your mind

Emphasizing that the emotional struggle is a product of the mind

The pocket of time

Referring to a specific period in the past as a "pocket of time"

Do you want to go back to the pocket of time?

Questioning if the desire is to return to that past "pocket of time"

If we can go back, could we make it right?

Exploring the possibility of correcting past mistakes if given the chance to go back

The pocket of time

Repeating the significance of the past as a "pocket of time"

Slow dancing at dusk with our hands intertwined

Describing a romantic scene of slow dancing in the evening with intertwined hands

If we can go back, could we make it right?

Revisiting the idea of correcting past mistakes

I never wanted to let go

Expressing reluctance to release the past

Lonely hearts are hard to break

Reiteration of the strength of lonely hearts

Slowly, scars will take their place

Reaffirmation that scars will replace emotional pain over time

Lie to me, just lie to me

Repeating the request for deception, maintaining the illusion of stability

Let's pretend that things are still the same

Emphasizing the desire to pretend that nothing has changed

Lonely nights to stay awake

Highlighting sleepless nights in loneliness

Shining light on old mistakes

Acknowledging and exposing past mistakes with clarity

Lie to me, just lie to me

Requesting continued deception, resisting the acceptance of change

Let's pretend that nothing ever changed

Insisting on the illusion that nothing has changed

Or at least let me forget

Expressing a desire to forget or ignore the past

The love we shared instead

Wishing to erase the memories of shared love

When you were mine

Recalling a time when the other person belonged

I promised you'd always be on my mind

Promising eternal remembrance, contrasting with the current frequent encounters

But now I see you all the time

Noticing the constant presence of the past in the present

The pocket of time

Reiteration of the importance of the past as a "pocket of time"

Slow dancing at dusk with our hands intertwined

Reimagining the romantic scene of slow dancing with intertwined hands

If we can go back, could we make it right?

Revisiting the idea of correcting past mistakes through time travel

I never wanted to let go

Reaffirming the reluctance to let go of the past

Lump of flesh inside my chest

Metaphorically referring to the heart as a lump of flesh

You could only do your best

Acknowledging the limitations of doing one's best in a relationship

Die for me, die for me

Expressing a dramatic plea for sacrifice in the name of love

Every song you love is cursed to end

Noting the inevitability of the end of beloved songs

Lump of flesh inside my chest

Repetition of the metaphor of the heart as a lump of flesh

You could only do your best

Reiterating the acknowledgment of doing one's best in a relationship

Die for me, die for me

Repeating the dramatic plea for a sacrificial act in the name of love

And never feel the wrath of love again

Expressing a desire to avoid the pain of love in the future
